Attached are some pics of my 68 Camaro. J U S T got it back. Added a 700R4, complete Global West suspension (UCSs, LCSs, rear leafs, QA1 ww/ coilovers, etc), and a set of 17" wheels & tires. AND life is good! Everyone's feedback is welcome. Thanx to everyone for the inspiration.

It's like a totally different car! I bought it last October and drove it relatively little before the snow. IT had 4.11s and was not easy on the highway. NOW I have 3.73s in the rear with the 700R4. Best of both worlds - first gear is deeper and I can "cruise" down the highway. With first gear, I can light 'em up and get sidways. COOL!

The suspension is tremedously improved. With the stock ~40 year old suspension it was like driving a boat. The ride now is firm and not as hard as I feared. It STILL doesn't compare to my 911 cab (maybe I had too high of expectations). Unisteer R&P is here in goes in next - we'll see.

The recommendations from everyone for the size wheels and tires were PERFECT! I think they look super with the dropped suspension. I just read about someone looking to drop a BAG of money ($2-3K??) on wheels and what you see is < $200 per wheel. At first I was nervous "something" would go wrong, - quality, size, delivery, etc. Quite frankly I'm now puzzled whey there's been so little discussion regarding this company's wheels. LOTS of styles, great price, custom sizes, 2 week delivery, . . . what's not to love!!

Any more questions, please ask. I'm indebted to EVERYONE for the information I scavenged here putting my protour together. Thanx! :)
