Craig- Hey, it is good to hear from you. What have you been up to? I am getting ready to take it on the Autorama/ World of Wheels show circuit. I will be in Milwaukee, Chicago, Indy, South Bend, Detroit, and Louisville. I will probably get rid of it after that. Right now I am doing a custom 52 Chevy with a Corvette drivetrain and suspension, and I am thinking about whipping out a 1967 Camaro for all the 40th aniversary shows. That all depends on if I have time. I have big plans for the 1967. I am going to try and get the 52 done for the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals this June. Sleep is so overrated!!!!

Venomous Type- I looked through all my pictures of the Camaro and none of them are a straight on side view. I will try and take one for you to see. I personally like the 18/20 combo better, but the 17/20 on the Camaro looked fine also. The trick with the 17/20 combo is getting the right size tires so that the sidewall height is the same on the 17's as they are on the 20's. It just doesn't look right if the front tire has a bigger sidewall than the rear, but that's just my 2 cents. I'll try and get you that picture.

aaaah i see.. i was wondering that.. seeing as i want to put 20s in the rear of venomous but i have 17s up front.. i DO have 18s now but they are 10s with 5.5 backspacing.. look like a rollllllerr skaaatttee..

I think the front tires are 235/40 17's. I just really had to look for a tire(brand and line) that they made in both a 17 and a 20 that had the right sidewall height. It all worked out though.

Man are you busy, I agree with you on the sleep, but I wish I was not getting sleep because I was in the shop all the time!! Kids and job travel right now, that is the name of the game for me. I am going to try to get my Dad out to Indy or Columbus this year, we will look for you, the projects sound awesome. Keep in touch, my personal email is [email protected]. Take care and the best of luck with the new projects!
