1969 Silver State Camaro RS

This car is being built to run in high speed point to point races. The owner made a good effort to make his leaf-springs work, but only managed to get them to be "predictably, unpredictable." Well here at Hotrods to Hell, we have a ready made solution to anyone who want to take their car over 170 MPH. The time has come for our CenterDrive Truckam Suspension.

This car is motivated by a supercharged LS6 small block with a large pulley on the crank and a small pulley on the blower. The end result is a lot of power linked up to the go pedal.

Large Autometer instrumentation makes for easy reading at a high rate of speed.

Here is the car up on the lift as we get ready to remove the horse and buggy technology that makes these car really scary at a high rate of speed over unpredictable terrain. In this picture you can see the massive fuel pump needed to power this thirsty small block.

This car has been mini-tubed to the outside of the stock frame rails to accommodate the 315/35ZR17 g-force tires with plenty of clearance for wheel travel and movement at high speed over irregular terrain.

The view from the rear of the car gives you an idea of just how massive these tires are.

The rims on this car are billet aluminum that has been painted to resemble the stock rally wheels.

The old suspension removed, the car is a blank canvas, ready for the best in live axle rear suspension.

Our CenterDrive Kit has been installed and is ready for paint and some final touches. Notice the mini-tub on this car.

Here is a view from the rear of the car. We will also be adding a Fuel Safe Cell to this car in one of custom fuel cell enclosures. This car will also have the exhaust exiting from the rear of the car near the bumper.

We rolled the car outside to set the ride height and snap a few pictures.

Strictly Business

A car this fast needs a serious gas tank. We choose a Fuel Safe Racing cell.

Far from your standard installation of the cell sitting on the floor of the truck we place our cells in a cage.

Truck floor removed.

The outer case of the cell installed in our hand built enclosure.

The weld nuts on the top of our fuel cell cage allow the top of the cell case to be removed easily.

Here is the fuel cell fully installed in the vehicle.

For that extra bit of cool, and to prevent having to open the trunk to fill the tank we placed a locking aircraft style gas cap in the rear panel. This is a really subtle modification because earlier Camaros had their filler in this location, but a 1969 Camaro has its filler located behind the license plate.

Like the name says, fuel safe.

A bitchin' fuel tank needs a quality fuel pump. We fabricated up this mount to hold the Aeroquipe electric fuel pump that is needed to feed this cars supercharged Z06 motor.

Here is the bracked with the pump in place.

Lines installed, wires hooked up, tank vented, time to hit the road.

This car deserves a serious exhaust so we whipped up a siamesed crossover backed by Spin Tech mufflers.

The view from below. This car has been transformed from a pro-touring car to a full out race car with a license plate and DOT legal tires.

A Hotrod from Hell.

We are making some additions to the roll cage in this car to meet the tech requirements for the Silver State.

We tucked the cage up close to make the car appear stock from outside. As if it was possible for a car like this to look stock.

Two door bars are required and the upper bar will be a swing out type to allow for easy entrance into the car.

A rear firewall is required so a nice bead rolled piece was whipped up and installed.
