Started W/ rusted org. bigblock hull Every pc. of sheet metal goodmark makes was replaced but the roof.Frt. sup. Built a jig off the frt sub. Then built my own subframe using C4 corvette QA1 coil overs. Moved the motor back 5 in to clear C4 rack. Rear sup. is 4 link Like what was used on the mule. But shocks lay horz. w rocker arms like Foose camaro. Stock w 12 bolt 4.11 gears intro matrix wheels 19X13 W/ 10in. back space. Frts. 18X11 w/ 9in back space wanted the wheels to have close to the same off set. Tires are michs, 345/30 /19 rear & 315/30/18 frt. Quick flip fuel cap frenched in the left rear quarter . Like dale jrs . Mine was done in oct 06. great minds think alike.69 camaro park lamps in lower frt. valance used as driving ligths / high / low beam Sparco seats and steering wheel. TKO 600 5 speed Zoom clutch hays 40# flywheel ATS style hyd. clutch. Will tell more later snap tool man just pulled in the drive way. Later Scott.

That engine compartment and suspension looks killer, very sinister in the all black. Great job man, the car is SICK! :thumbsup:

Thanks Guys, At recent car show a few people came up to me and said if the engine was chromed out your car would win hands down. But did not want the street rod look . The way it is now you really have to look to to find all 1 off pcs. I built. And I dont want a car that every body likes. Just a few that can appreciate this type of build. What made this build so fun was that the paint and glass is the only things I farmed out. And I did it in 14 months. Now I have rusted out 69 camaro That I am going to try to have done for 08 power tour. That will pass 18 miles north of my home in Baldwin Ks.Thanks Scott.
