STIFF PROPOSITION
TESTING THE TORSIONAL RIGIDITY OF A CAMARO’S FRAME BEFORE ADDING A FULL AFTERMARKET CHASSIS
THE process of making a killer street machine legal is shrouded in conjecture and mythology, so when Glenn Davies of Moits Motorcars invited us along to watch the process of putting a car through torsional twist testing, we jumped at it.
The Moits team were doing this as part of a 1968 Chevy Camaro they’re constructing for Customs 4 Cancer. While the charity previously raised a stack of money for the Cancer Council when they raffled Cooper Zahabi’s Rides By Kam-built 1970 Chevy Nova, they’ve progressed to commissioning Moits Motorcars to build them a killer Camaro featuring all the go-to pro touring gear, like Forgeline wheels, Tremec manual transmission and a full Roadster Shop SPEC-series aftermarket chassis.
To avoid the huge expense and convoluted process involved in engineering a car to Individually Constructed Vehicle standards (see sidebar, p. 178), Moits is setting the C4C Camaro up as a Modified Production Vehicle, and the chassis tests are a key part of ensuring the aftermarket chassis is a-okay to use.
