Week to Wicked - 1972 Camaro
WHAT IS WEEK TO WICKED?

(CPP) team up and rise to the challenge of taking a fairly stock 1972 Camaro and transform it into an auto-crossing, canyon carving pro-touring beast in only a period of seven days! Follow the week long coverage as the crew unleashes the potential of this once forgotten project, covering all the bases from engine overhaul to complete host of steering, brakes, & suspension from CPP.

UNFINISHED AND BORING, TO COMPLETEAND PRO-TOURING ...IN A WEEK!
CPP FEATURED PRODUCTS ON THIS BUILD:
DAY 1
Day 1 kicked off with a test drive of the Camaro’s “stock” form, which lead to a headache (or three) after a radiator hose blew. But even with a few hours behind, the tech crew had the body torn down and bare by 2 pm. With the old parts removed and gone, we kept the ball moving right along for the 2nd part of Day 1. Complete steering, brakes, and suspension kits from CPP were ready to bolt in and revive new life in this tired Camaro.
DAY 2
DAY 2
With the suspension parts in place, it was time to prepare the engine and drivetrain with a few upgrades before dropping in the new powerhouse. The Hydrastop Hydraulic Assist System gets plumbed and ready to drop in. All the morning prep lead us to a full course of evening tasks, from subframe bits and complete fuel system, to even dropping in the engine & transmission. New wheels & tires are mounted, brakes are bled, and the Camaro grounded.
DAY 3
DAY 3
Wiring, plumbing, and more wiring sets the theme for Day 3, as a complete Painless wiring kit gets us closer to a running car and makes the connections to the EFI system, radiator fans, 4L70e auto transmission, lighting, and digital gauges.
