      Looks good to me. Sorry you had to tear it so far apart but this way you know it'll be rust free and worth your money and efforts in the long run. Good luck.

      Holy smokes! Are you replacing the front body panels as well?

      What do you have planned for the drivetrain?

      Why did you cut off the old shock mounts? Nice to see another Camaro on airbags around here!

      I know it looks like a hack job right now but it is still in mock up. I will clean and grind all the pices off when I take it back apart when I'm done it will look pro.
