      - The inline mufflers are motorcycle racing mufflers. They are 10" long by 3" wide and slide into the existing 3" tube. Can't recall what brand they are.....will have to get back to you on that one..

      - As far as the body & frame deal - we spent countless hours developing a plan on how to do this based on the Camaro and Cup Chassis dimensions prior to any labor. In short (and I mean really ommitting about three pages of explanations) we built a "sub-frame" that goes all the way around the Camaro body. Around the firewall, down the rockers, over the rear wheels across the trunk and back. Sounds simple but the amount of labor invloved doing this was extraordinary. Not mentioned here is the ridiculous amount of time customizing wheel wells, rocker panels, firewall, valance panels, fenders, trunk, etc., etc., etc. If you look closely at the previous post's pictures of the drivers's side rocker panel you can see the seam line. The exterior rockers are "bolted-on" after we place the body on the chassis. Same deal for the real valance. When fully assembled and finished painted the seams will be covered by the correct Camaro rocker molding that goes there. Bumper will cover the rear valance seam.

      While not the most detailed pictures you can see portions of the new frame and the pickup points in these pictures:
