The Chevy Camaro challenged the Ford Mustang on the streets and in the showrooms across America. They became legendary muscle cars in the late 1960s, and now these highly sought after first-generation cars are the most popular candidates for modification and pro touring treatments. This classic and alluring body is one of the most attractive ever, but the underpinnings of these cars are crude by today's standards. That's why a number of owners are replacing the antiquated suspensions, brakes, transmissions, steering, rear ends, and even engines with modern technology. It's often a complex and labor-intensive endeavor to install these components and products, so this book comes to the rescue. Camaro: How to Build and Modify: 1967-1969covers the most popular product and component installs in a clear, concise, step-by-step format, so you can quickly and efficiently complete the project and get back on the road. Chapters cover each major component group in the car, such as engine-performance upgrades, engine swaps, transmission swaps, as well as rear axle, brake, wheel and tire, suspension, interior, and electrical upgrades. Projects are illustrated with clear, color photos and detailed captions to better show the complexity and detail of each project. With these projects completed, first-generation Camaros and Firebirds remain classic cars in appearance, but are transformed into modern-performing cars on the street and track.
