Car looked good when I drove by yesterday afternoon (River Road). Small world!

Do you have any mockup pictures with the wheels in further?

So what size are they? What is the back space? How long is the rear? Do you have room to move them in?

Feel free to call if you need me

From the look of that pic, the track does not look consistent front to rear. From a pure aesthetic standpoint, if you can, I would move the rears in to make it look right. Unless that pic angle is deceiving...

Sweet Camaro though!

Hey Chris! If you have the room I would look into moving the wheels in. Now would you do that by narrowing the rear axle or reworking the wheels? That's a welded wheel right?

Did you roll the lips at all?

Now that you have driven the car...a little. What are your over all thoughts on the car?

Are you still looking at selling? Love it man!!

well I have lots of room on the inside the wheels are only 10's on a 295/19 and I mini-tubbed it- I think i would have the rear-end narrowed- it would be cheaper and quicker for me.

the lips are trimmed and rolled- the tire just hits on articulated turns

as far as driving impressions- still too fresh- only about 10 miles and lots of tire rub...a little nerve racking. LOTS OF POWER

I want to sell the car in the early spring so I can finance the next one. I want to continue to build 'em until I can do it for a living. There are alot of things I want to try on the next one- thanks again for your support- hopefully you will be my Stainless Works dealer in the future- Chris

i think you are right, the big difference is the front was touching in the pic I raised it up about 2" in the front, but the rears do track wider- do you think 1/2 narrower is enough?

thanks Frank- I have LOTS of room on the inside- i think the specs were 4 1/2 back spacing on a 10 with a 295.
