1969 Camaro Build! | DAY 4—Super Chevy Week to Wicked Presented by POL | MotorTrend

Day 4! Lots of systems have to work together to turn a pile of parts into a running/driving car, and a key one is the car's cooling system. Our Super Chevy Week to Wicked, presented by POL, 1969 Camaro has been LS-swapped to a 427 Dart-block LS with a blow-through Procharger, so a robust cooling system would be needed to tame the 700-plus hp our combo would be making on pump gas. #MotorTrend #WeekToWicked #Camaro

1969 Camaro Build! | DAY 3—Super Chevy Week to Wicked Presented by POL | MotorTrend

Day 3! We recently found ourselves at a crossroads during the planning stages of a 1969 Chevy Camaro build project. For starters, wiring is difficult. It's the first thing the factory attaches to the car as it goes down the assembly line, meaning most sections of the car's circuitry are hidden from view. You must want to rewire a car to make it happen, and that motivation comes when wiring misbehaves—intermittently at first, then bringing you to a full stop. Beyond that is the need for additional circuits for new equipment like stereos, nav systems, charging ports, electronic fuel injection, etc. #MotorTrend #WeekToWicked #Camaro

1969 Camaro Build! | DAY 2—Super Chevy Week to Wicked Presented by POL | MotorTrend

It's day two of our Super Chevy Week To Wicked Presented by POL, and we're sliding the drivetrain into our 1969 Camaro project. This is the part of the weeklong build where big parts are being added to the mix, and with the drivetrain in, it feels like we're almost done. But that's a big lie. You see, building a car in just a week is about hundreds of small tasks, not the big items like getting the LS swapped into the car. But if we want to have this Camaro fired up and making tire smoke by Friday night, we need to get all the tasks done, both big and small. #WeekToWicked #Camaro #MotorTrend

1969 Camaro Build! | DAY 1—Super Chevy Week to Wicked Presented by POL | MotorTrend

It's day one of our Super Chevy Week to Wicked presented by POL, and one of the biggest goals was to get all the suspension parts and brakes installed under the car. While one team was tackling the front of our 1969 Camaro our group was installing POL's new Lateral X Four-Link system under the F-body. The four-link system has been out for a while, but this new kit is designed for cars that have been mini-tubbed, and it incorporates a cradle assembly that bolts under the back of the car, giving mounting points for suspension bits along with a lot more chassis rigidity. #MotorTrend #WeekToWicked #Camaro
