So recently bought a pro street 68 Camaro I am looking to turn into more of a modern pro street car. Durring the process of making the door bars removable I took the interior out. I saw I wrinkle on the tranny tunnel then realized the drivers door was stuck out a little at the bottom. Well looking further the passenger is as well and the door gap is a little tighter at the top than the bottom. The doors close fine though. Could the car be sagging in the middle? I find that a little hard to believe since it has a 12 point cage? Could it be from a wheel stand that he came down too hard on?

Every Camaro has a wrinkle near the firewall if that's what you are concerned with.

No this one is right between the 2 seat belt bolts on the tunnel.

It can have a sag with a 12 point cage if it was installed after it sagged. Some folks get crazy cutting a car up before it is properly braced. If it wasn't caught and the cage was welded in then you have a permanent sag. Just a thought! Good Luck.

They all have that wrinkle in them. My original floor had it and the new reproduction full floor had it. See the picture below. Is that the same wrinkle you're talking about?
