Wow! Very nice work. Is that a original red? I’m curious what the paint code is? I like that red with black,looks great.

Hell Everyone, Ryan here from UMI Performance. New here as sponsors but have always lurked the site.

We have been building suspension for the 82-02 F-Body as well as the G-Body and A-body for many years... we have now recently jumped in the 2nd gen and pretty heavily. This thread will be dedicated to the build process of our 1971 Camaro that is ultimately being built for autocross and road race events.

We aquired this car in spring of 2015 from a Spring Carlisle swap meet, unfortunately it has taken us until late 2016 to finally start the build process. Please follow along, I will start the post from when we got it and keep adding.


Here's the car as we purchased it in spring 2015 (non-Z28, only badged by previous owner) The body was recently redone and car painted, it looks good for us and saves us that step. The engine was a spent 350 (originally thought a 305 but was a 350) with a TH350 transmission.

Hi Dave.

We have custom inner fenders designed and built by our in-house fabricator. The 315 and 18x11 would of course have no chance with stock inner fenders.

Those custom inner fenders are the coolest thing that I have seen in a long time. Do they also improve clearance for the OUTSIDE tire shoulder? Nice work!
