For enthusiasts passionate about restoring or building a classic 1967 Camaro, the quest often begins with finding the ideal “parts car”. However, the reality is that many original Camaros are decades old, suffering from rust, damage, or missing crucial components. Instead of struggling with a dilapidated donor vehicle, consider starting your project with a brand new, steel body from Real Deal Steel.
Real Deal Steel constructs authentic 1967, 1968, and 1969 Camaro bodies using a meticulous process that ensures unparalleled quality and accuracy. Each body begins on a dedicated steel platform, mounted on a heavy-duty rotisserie. This foundation allows for the precise assembly of the floor and rear frame rails. Custom-engineered fixtures, refined over years and rigorously tested against original bodies, are then employed. These fixtures utilize factory tooling holes, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy that mirrors the original specifications.
The body’s steel skeleton and exterior panels are carefully assembled around these fixtures, replicating the factory build process. Real Deal Steel goes a step further, utilizing 220-Volt water-cooled spot welders to create factory-appearing welds, while also adding extra welds for enhanced strength and rigidity. They use only the latest tooling and molds, ensuring that their panels are the best available, unlike some manufacturers who rely on decades-old tooling.
Real Deal Steel stands apart by working directly with parts manufacturers and employing genuine factory-assembly techniques. Their bodies are shipped globally, serving as the foundation for both full restorations and cutting-edge resto-mod builds. Many builders choose to incorporate original donor parts with these new bodies, creating vehicles that are both authentically styled and structurally sound. These builds have achieved recognition at prestigious car shows and have even been utilized to create high-performance race cars for both road and drag racing.
Choose a superior starting point for your dream Camaro. Real Deal Steel bodies offer a solid, consistent, and correctly fitted foundation, eliminating the uncertainties and compromises often associated with using an aged “1967 Camaro Parts Car” as your base.
