Well Im new to the chevy world coming from Mopar!! I have just retired from the Air Force and decided to build a pro touring 1968 camaro. Here is what Im doing if you guys have any suggestions let me know.

Ok well Im using QA1 coilovers all the way around with a Speedtech torque arm rear, 12in wilwood brakes with 6 piston cal front and rear. 17x8 budniks up front and 17x11 with 315/35 tires. Im using a stock rear seat and then leather seats and center console out of a 350z. The power plant is a Supercharged 468 with a bog werner T5 and a build 9in rear end. I have the billet grill with hidden head lights and such. Let me know what you guys think. I would also like to find someone to do a rendering so anyone with a good person to do that let me know.

Welcome! Sounds like a great project. I'm ont sure that T5 is gonna last under that 468 mill? But...

Sounds like a cool build !! I've got the exact thing sitting in my shop right now :twothumbs LOL ! ! Glad to see you made it to the site ! ! The guys here are a great help for info and ideas on stuff. We are just getting ready to get the car up on the frame table in the next couple of weeks and I am sure Randy or Myself will start a build thread when we get to that point . I think we need to come up with a cool name before then though .......
Like Randy said he is recently Retired Military , so I think we need incorporate that into the Project name if anybody has any ideas .
As far as the T-5 , it will definately be the week point in the driveline and I have been looking for a good used tremec !!
