Despite having to simultaneously deal with a cold and waves of \u00a0“Camaro groupies” coming by the shop to check things out, John has made \u00a0a bit more progress on the car.<\/p>\n

Unitrax completed the rear end with the ring & pinion and diff all installed right. \u00a0The passenger-side leaf spring mount was bent, rusty, crooked, and had been re-welded or something by a caveman with a blowtorch; it needed some fixin’-<\/p>\n

Removed, and readied for the new perch:<\/p>\n

This is one place the Camaro’s popularity helps. \u00a0Replacement spring perch from Summit was just a few bucks, they had it in stock, etc. \u00a0Probably not many cars where replacement welded-on pieces like this are so easy to come by-<\/p>\n

All prettied up and rust protected:<\/p>\n

I’d been thinking about buying a lathe and making some of my own bushings, but there are really only a few this car needs, and I don’t have a ton of spare workbench space…so I’m having John make the custom bushings the car needs also. \u00a0He completed the first couple pairs, for the rear leaf spring shackles-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These Hydlar bushings should offer much improved response over the worn-out stock bushings, which in an informal durometer test, measured just above “marshmallow”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
