Cobweb Specialties, a hot rod fabrication shop out of Edgewood, Washington, is currently building what they call, “Project Semi-Pro,” a ’67 Camaro that is to eventually be stuffed with a turbocharged small-block and a full-tilt, road-handling suspension setup.

As it currently stands, “Project Semi-Pro” utilizes a G-Bar, 4-link rear with double-adjustable, Varishock coilovers. It’s also been set up for the track with the full suspension treatment including, SCA upper and lower control arms, AFX spindles, NASCAR-style, HOWE ball joints, a Lee Engineering steering box, and a Flaming River stainless steering column.

The motor that Cobweb Specialties will be dropping into “Project Semi-Pro” is a 327ci small-block that was built a few years back by Ed Hale Automotive in Lakeside, California. The shorts-stroke 327 has apparently never been started, and Cobweb Specialties plans on turbocharging the mill with just enough to achieve 550-600bhp. The small-block is already built for this forced-induction setup, and includes an Isky, turbo-profile cam, iron heads and a set of forged, turbo dish pistons that raise the compression to between 8-8.5:1.

Cobweb’s “Semi-Pro” Camaro will spin a 4L80E trans with built internals, while at the rear sits a 12-bolt with Moser with 33-spline axles and a True-Trac differential. Welding, fabrication and install duties went to Bill Scribner of Scribner Welding and Distributing in Kent, Washington. Vaporworx provides the fuel system control and tank, while all of the car’s fasteners, fuel and brake lines are mostly stainless throughout.

We know that “Project Semi-Pro” is a work in progress and that Cobweb Specialties of Edgewood has quite an endeavor in front of them, but with what the rod shop has accomplished this far, we know that it’s true what they say: Good things take time!
