Project Never Enough
Its been a long time dream to mod a 1st gen Camaro. Ive built many cars and bikes but it was never planed it just happened. This project was bought with it in my head that modding was comin. You guys will have to bare with me on this project. Its going to be a long project but worth it in the end. I hope to sell my Boat to fund whats coming. Ill be doing all the work myself including paint. Heres some pics of what Im workin with.
Heres the car I bought it

Looks great!
A tip on the round bar for your fender lip: use 1/4" stainless steel tube. It is easier to form, resists rust, and welds in easy.

Flush is ok. It's the H + F words combined that we disagree on!
Car is looking great! Can't wait to see more of it. and if I had to guess, I'd venture 335/25 tires but im just pulling those numbers out of my rear.
Edit: Damn I took too long! Guess they're 345's hahaTravis

Well got the call today. The shipping company called and said my "car frame" was ready for pickup. I ran down to the yard and they loaded it up. This baby is nice! Morrison did a heck of a job! A second shipment should follow soon. It will have the axles and gears.

Thanks guys! I got started tonight. I started drilling out the spot welds on the rear frame rails. I got 95% of them drilled out. Man what a pain in the arse! I think the spot weld guy at the factory went nuts on my car,lol. I should have the Morrison in by next week. I hope! Frank, wheres those gears and axles,lol
