Finally starting my 69 Camaro build I picked up back in December.. It's a roller that needs alot of work, but the price was right! So far plans are:

TCI front & rear subframes with 3 link, modified to fit 335 rear tires.

427 TT LSX with built T56

Fabbed 9" housing with aluminum center section

Brembo 6 piston or C6 ZO6 brakes

multi-piece wheels

Shave all emblems/mouldings, maybe flush fit glass..

The list could be endless but that's the gist of it.. Picking up the shell from the blaster tomorrow, pics should follow shortly!

Looks good the firewall came out really nice looks really flat is aftermarket or did you smooth it?

Thanks! I went right over the top of the original firewall with 18 ga sheetmetal. Alot faster & easier than welding up a bunch of holes & tons of filler. There is no body filler on the firewall @ this point.

How did you modify the rear Tci 3 link to fit the 335's ? Any pictures of this ?

haven't got to that point yet, I've installed a couple on non-mini tubbed cars, from what I can tell the shock crossmember has to be modified & the brackets that mount to the outside of the frame rail have to be removed
