Howdy all,my name is Glenn i live in Melbourne Australia

I have been lurking around in the background for a while and thought its about time i started a build thread,i am no stranger when it comes to Camaros having previously,owned around 8 or so 1st gens
this time i thought i would build something along the lines of a pro tourer
what i am starting with is a typical basket case that needs a fair amount of work panels.paint trim drive-line,

these are the plans i have for the old girl (XP836 BUILD NAME)

IT IS A 1968 RS SS

FRONT TO REAR:::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Front sub frame sandblasted fully seem welded debured bla bla

airide or speed-tech upper and lower control arms afx spindles brakes?

i will shave all the drip mouldings

i plan to use smooth glass front and rear
front and rear bars bought closer into the body
rear fuel cap done away with
and a few othe mods along the way

i plan to use a 302 Chevy engine with an m22 muncie witch i already have(out of a past car i use to own offy cross-ram couple 600 dp Holley,s
speed-tech solid frame bushes

and here a few more of the rear end 9inch and as you will see with the standard spring perch sits toclose to the end of the axle which in return i can not fit a disc with an internal e brake setup so i am hoping some one might know of a bracket i can use to eliminate the spring perches with out having to change out the lower arm as well
