There will be lots of pictures. Movement will be a little slow at first because I don't have my workshop yet. My plan so far has me cleaning the front frame and painting it, then ordering all the suspension components so I can start rolling it around. Also, in the meantime I will be ordering and collecting parts so I have everything I need for when the build starts picking up.

Made some small progress today. Got the Camaro off the ground and onto some jackstands. Then began cleaning up the front frame. It was sand blasted a few years ago and only has minor surface rust.

Tomorrow I will be painting it with POR15 so that I can get it sealed so it wont rust as the rest of the build progresses. I also got my Global West solid body mounts in the mail. I will be purchasing my brothers C5 brake setup off his 69 to use on my car. Then will be getting Ridetech Coilover System and have a set of wheels in mind. My goal right now is to get the car on wheels so its easy to roll around.

Heres what we are offering a guy like you....

Remove the upper shock with a cut off wheel or plasma, using a guide supplied use a 4" metal hole saw and drill through your frame for the coilover housing. Install the upper mount plates using a jig.....

The vast majority of our customers are mini-tubbed cars. The control arms & wheel wells usually only allow a 315 tire on a 10"-11" wheel while using the a 10 or 12 bolt rears. This limitation is due to the factory leaf spring perch locations on those rearends.

If you buy our kit with a Ford 9" housing we can locate the control arm mounts further inward & will allow up to a 345 tire on a rim up to 13" wide with widened mini tubs to accommodate them. We can build the 9" housing ranging from OE wheel offset up to 5" narrowed (2.5" per side).
