1969 Chevrolet Camaros are some of the most popular Muscle Cars of all time, becuase they are equally as cool when preserved in original stock condition or modified for increased performance, style, comfort, and power.   The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team recently performed some major upgrades on this show-quality 1969 Camaro, including a complete Detroit Speed suspension system and a supercharged LT4 V8 and 6-speed manual transmission.     The car is a blast to drive, and is the cover car of the June, 2020 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine!

 

Below is a video playlist of 4 episodes upgrading this car! 

 

 

You can see the ALL the build photographs here.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Tuning and Suspension Updates at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

This Hugger Orange 1969 Chevrolet Camaro arrived at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop with a fresh LS engine swap and some new suspension mods.   However, the engine is in need of some custom tuning to improve drivability.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Drivability Improvements at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

Some restored cars look completed, but still require extensive refinement and tuning to be road-ready.    In this case, our customer had this sweet 1969 Camaro restored for them, but the shop did not complete some of the final drivability details, so the customer is not confident driving the car.  The car is sporting some cool parts selections like a FiTech fuel injected 454 Chevy V8 coupled to a Tremec TKO 500 5-Speed transmission, all wrapped in a stock RS / SS trim package.   However, the "last 5%" details still need to be addressed to make sure the car is ready for miles of trouble-free cruising.  For example, the front tires rub the inner fenders when turning, the windshield washer system does not work, there are some loose radio wires, and other nuisance items.   Once they are remedied, the engine tune will be optimized, brake performance dialed-in, and other systems verified for proper operation.    The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team is well-versed in this process, and we'll be performing final adjustments to remedy the quirks of a fresh restoration.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Lighting, Bumper, and Winch Upgrades at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

The Jeep Gladiator is a hot off-road ride, and they are fun to modify and personalize.   This black 2020 Jeep Gladiator did not stay stock for long, and it came to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop for some lighting upgrades and a new bumper and winch.   The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team installed a KC Hi-Lites 50" LED light bar overhead with 8 beams, and a pair of Gravity LED Pro6 spotlights at the windshield base.    A Rugged Ridge Arcus front bumper loaded with a Warn 10,000lb capacity winch was installed next.    The V8 Speed & Resto Shop can perform any modification you can think of from lift kits, wheels and tires, power adders, lighting, body mods, interior upgrades, navigation and sound systems, exhaust, brakes, even full engine and powertrain swaps on your Jeep or truck.   Let us know what you have in mind!
