Default Hello from across the pond..

Morning All,

Hello from the UK! been lurking around for a while now and have finally bitten the bullet and signed up! I have a 68 camaro (The Chief) that is currently undergoing a mild restro mod / pro touring make over:





Winter Plans....

Hotchkis bits:





Also replacing the bushes with some DSE solid mounts.

Wilwood bits (and DSE Master Cylinder):





Complete rewire, RS front grille conversion and replacement of gauges with Autometer American Muscle gauges.

Set of 17" American Racing T71r's on their way as well.

Question! Currently not rear tubbed, so (when they are fitted) the T71r's will be running about 8.5 Inches of rubber. However, I am planning on possibly procharging it next year (to the tune of around 600 BHP), am i going to have issues putting that down on the ground with only 8.5 inches on the rear tyre?

Cheers

Jonny
