As I kept looking through the progress I kept saying O WOW at every update. It looks awersome, keep up the good work and I can't wait to see it done!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

damn that is serious

[boodlefoof]

Lookin' mighty fine Zach. I've been waiting for an update! :D

[malihoochie]

Keep it up! I need "real guy" inspiration like this to keep me motivated. Looks great.

[Steve1968LS2]

Nice.. looks killer with those super wide back rollers..

[Restomod]

Thats what Im talkin about!!! Those last pics at ride height are the s@*t!!!

[Camaro Zach]

Thanks guys

4" ride height is about the look im going for but i think 5-6" minimum is going to be more realistic since it will get driven almost daily when it's done. Hopefully this weekend I can get the rear suspension mocked up and possibly pull the car outside for some better pictures of its stance.

[restomodbird69]

The website for the wheels is www.ccwheel.com Looks like they are just getting around to updating it too.

YES KEEP IT nothing like the satisfaction of replacing everything yourself. As for my sheetmetal fitup... I cant vouch for how their current stuff fits because I bought all that sheetmetal a few years ago. But the quarters fit pretty good except for the taillight area where the tail panel meets the quarters. The shapes don't match and the drivers side quarter is taller than the passenger, but it's not a problem for me because ill be shaving the body seams.

[Camaro Zach]

Got some more poser pics over the weekend. Wheel/tire on the front is from the passenger side rear. (havent ordered the fronts yet) and it's set at 5" ride height. I think im gonna stick with that height when it has coilovers.

[Kal]

Wow, that is going to look HOT! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it when its finished.

[Camaro Zach]

Thanks Kal
Must have gotten some weird kind of modivation because yesterday I cut all the brackets and today I welded them onto the rearend lol. Hopefully tomorrow I will weld the lower brackets onto the frame and start making some temporary link bars.

[Joey_H]

Those are purty welds, Zach.
