Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm building a 69 Camaro PT. Bought the car last year at the Good Guy's event in Pleasanton, CA. As purchased the car was really quite nice - LS1, T56 and a Ford 9", but it's really hard to leave well enough alone...Since last summer we've added DSE mini tubs, installed the DSE 4-Link with QA-1's, upgraded the Ford 9" with a new Tru Track posi & 373 gears, installed the DSE subframe and all the goodies that come with it, DSE subframe connectors, Boze Lateral G rims 19x12/18x10 and Nitto NTO5 335/19&275/18 tires and Wilwood 6 piston calipers and 14" rotors. We are swapping out the stock Houndstooth buckets for a set of Recaro Specialty M's and a custom matching rear. We changed the T-56 out for a TKO-600 and we're building a supercharged LSX engine this month. Stay tuned....Thanks for looking!

I know right... The shop belongs to my good friend Jeff Twitchell, Hot Rod Service Company in Campbell,CA... They build some sick stuff.

Well it had a 411's in the 9" and it was like driving a dirt bike.... With the new SC LSX we decided to go with the stronger TKO trani and bump up the gearing to 373

Did Jeff Twitchell the hot rod service company over charge you by thousands for services? Do you work for the hot rod service company campbell, ca Did Jeff Twitchell fire you? Anyone experience any of these problems?
