Just joined a week or so ago, Working on a 67 Camaro RS that I've owned for over 25 years. Going with the full C4 suspension treatment. I've finished the rear of the car, now working on the front clip. Rear includes DSE mini tubs, custom IRS installation, new trunk pan ect... The engine in the Car is a 377 small block, 400 block with 350 crank, backed up by a NASCAR spec Super T-10 Origianly built the car in 1989 as a PT before it was cool, thought the big red one was the hot ticket back then. Now I have the time to do it over again. Car will ride on Z06 rims, full front C4 IFS with Z06 brake upgrades, rear will be C4 IRS with 3:55 gears. Of course it will have the vintage air and all the comforts to make it a true driver. Keeping the 377 intact for now, but perhaps an upgrade to the banks turbo system may happen later. If anyone out there is running a wayne due subframe, I could use some help with the diminsions and geometry for the C4 components.

Yes, a project indeed it is. You know how things just grow once you get into it. You are a little farther ahead than me though. Like the setup on your car, did you ever run the banks system?

Thanks guys, took a lot of work laying on my back to have such a nice rear end... :lol: Hopefully in the next month or so, I'll have the front clip finished and complete with vette parts.
