The car looks great and has a nice stance, but those brakes just don't work out.
You can box them up and send them over to me.
I'm always glad to help out.

It's been said already but you nailed the stance plus that wheel & tire combo looks killer. Nice car!

Oh yeah, next in line for the brakes if the first recipient bugs out on the deal lol!

Thanks G, my builder and i worked long and hard to get the stance we wanted. I truly believe wheels and stance will make or break a car. went through a couple sets of rear wheels with different backspacing to get it right, had to trim on the rear quarter lip a little too, let me tell you that was tough to do. This car was an all original 6 cylinder car from your state. Car had very little rust and the rear quarters were perfect, had to force my builder to do it. To get these 67-68 camaros to look right when they are "in the weeds" you gotta trim on them a little. But it was all worth it in the end. Here is the end result that i get to share with this great group of folks on pro-touring.com!

What size the rear tires?

315's in the rear, i have been debating to go with a 12" wheel and a 335 just not sold on the 335's yet. i am running with BFG KD's tires

Here is a shot of the interior. We kept it very simple. Check out the stock AM radio(still works). Actually have a secret audio system with 11 cd disc changer with amp all in the trunk.

Nice clean car. Good job! When you say trim, are you talking outer wheel house or both the wheel house and quarter?

Robert,the trim i speak of was the 1.5" to 2" inch inside lip portion of the wheel opening on the rear quarters, had to cut more than half of that lip for the stance you see. Hope this helps. Greg

Is there enough room for 335's? I'm putting DSE tubs in my 68, but I havn't seen too many 67/68's with 335's.

Yes, i believe i could with the right backspacing. i have a lot space right now between my tire and the inside fender /dse mini tub.
