TT55 Belair
I figured it was about time to share and start a thread on my project. I don't have any pics of when I built this car the first time so I'm thinking I'm a little picture happy now
After I finished it the first time about 1994. Wrecked it in 96 and been basically sitting since :(
The summer of 2010 I decided it had been neglected long enough and was time to get it back on the road.
Pulled frame and cut off front suspension
Grafted the gen 2 camaro clip on
X the frame and 3 link install

Very cool project.
More details/pics on the third link mount on the rear housing?

No such thing as too much power or too much traction

Ya I've got lots of pics. Here is some more
There will be a Plate on the inside supporting the 2 bolts that are threaded through the housing with lock nuts on the outside securing the mount. The rear 3 studs are 5/16 and I am going to retap to 3/8 or I may change the rear support to a round plate that goes between the housing and cover similar to how BMR does their tourque arm mount to 10/12 bolts. Still a work in progress.

More progress
Upper shock mount
My mockup shocks are not as wide as the ones I plan to use so I spacered them out to give some adjustment.

Wow it's been a while since I updated this. It seems that some projects stall out for numerous reasons. Wether it is loss of interest, lack of money, sold, or just life slows its progress. Well this project has fallen to the dreaded second project. I ran across a 67 camaro that looked like it just needed an engine, trans and front end sheet metal.
Which ended up needing more than I had hoped and then life happened too. Found a new job at Speed Tech Performance 550 miles away. So I thrashed and put the camaro and 55 back together to make them rollers to make it easier to move them.
Once I get the camaro in primer and drivable the 55 will be back on the burner
