There's a lot more room to make it contour the floor with carpet much better.

I can't trim the back of the console any more because the front is down all the way. Right now it sit's pretty level. any more out of the back and it will look funny.

Lots in the front will go away, same with the cup holders in the back. Or I add to the sides so it contours the floor. It's not hard to do. I'll take care of it when I get to do the ebrake mount and schtuff.

I'd agree, take some off the bottom in the rear, loose the cup holders, no need for level, just has too look "right" for the interior. I was going "consoleless", but really need one, my original is in pretty decent shape, but these 5th gen ones have too many creature comforts to pass up...so i'ma gonna go this route

I took the kids north for Skiing and came back to a bunch of pictures - some you may have already peeked at on Facebook .

As y'all know, Scott narrowed the DSE stuff I sent him, 2". He also cut the upper factory control arm 2". I plan to make a tubular arm when it comes back, already have a set of factory upper arms here to build a jig from. No sense to me having DSE tubular stuff and a cut and welded factory upper.

He's working with DSE on a sway bar now, if not a splined one will probably work with the sway bar links I bought from DSE - would probably give me more adjust-ability too. He's also working with Ride Tech to get the right shock, since the narrowed arms will need a shorter stroke.

It's now 62" WMS to WMS. Scott reports that a 12'' wheel with 8'' back spacing will fit well. I will roll the lips on the quarters that were installed. May also go with flares and wider stance... still have that bug in my head.

I now have to figure out what mods to do to the rear 2012 Camaro SS rotors I have. Also need to order axle shafts for the ZO6 splines.

I am really looking forward to getting this back to wrap up the final details and get my enclosed trailer back.

Like all of the projects I keep, I had the car Toon'd.

Toon-ing is done by Christopher Kuster, a very good friend of mine that holds the paint brush, markers or whatever in his teeth.

The last pic is my friend Chris.

His website is http://www.paintbyteeth.com/

And yes, he's a car guy.

Now that's some cool artwork. Lookin good.

Cool artwork. I am doing bulged fenders and a flare on my Firebird and we measured the other day and I am using a 19x10 wheel with about 5 inches of lip, so I think the backspace is a little under 5 with the pad. I can look back and confirm. We did mockup and are planning on going with 62 inches WMS for the rear end. I know the Camaro and Firebird wheel arches are a little different, but I can show you a picture of how much you would have to add to get the wheel to tuck in.

Floors are in. Getting close to pick up. March 7th is the day!
