Offset Shackles Vs. Move Frame Rails?

WOW ...Those are HUGE!!!

21st Century Street Machines has a rear clip that does just this. Be careful, if you move it too much you will have to relocate the spring perches on the axle.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing on my 68 camaro. One thing that i've noticed is that to do this we will have to cut a section out of the trunk. I was thinking of doing away with the dip in the trunk and just completely flatten the whole thing. By the way where are you getting your rails. I was thinking of ordering the replacement rails from Jegs. I think they're around $100.

I beleive Killer Customs (Killer69) did this on thier project '69

You might want to ask them what they encountered.

If the rails in Jeg's are the CE rails that are for the Camaro, they don't fit as described. I bought a set and had to cut them all apart to make them fit as they claim they do. If you leave the dropped trunk pan in there, you will have to section 9" out of the middle of it to fit. Then the factory gas tank support structure won't work anymore without rework.
