This is the story of Sledgehammer, a 1967 Camaro purchased sight unseen on eBay.

When the car finally arrived I discovered that it was not exactly as described in the ad. It had a host of issues. It had 4-wheel unassisted drum brakes, not cool. It also had a ton of body and mechanical issues. At first all I wanted to do was upgrade the braking system, install a new tranny, and do a few other modifications to get it on the road, but after talking with Jason Walroth over at Gearhead Garage in Sacramento California, I decided to take on a slightly larger project.

In the Shop Again

Click to enlarge Sledgehammer is currently at Campbell Auto Restoration for some more upgrades. DSE weld in sub frame connectors, rear watts link or panhard bar is being discussed. Full Mcleod custom twin disk, light weight flywheel, bell housing and pressure plate is also being installed to handle to extra power of the supercharger. Custom valved Koni Hydraulic coil over shocks with Eibach springs will help out the front end. The ZZ430 is being yanked out for a rebuild to handle the Procharger system that is being supplied by Frank at Prodigy customs in Florida. Frank has been nice enough to mock up the system for us, and then ship it to us. Stay tuned for a complete write up on this.
