      Yes pics are in order. And why do you feel you messed up? Buyer's remorse is temporary.

      Enjoy the ride, do some specing on wheels and tires to make it look good and handle and tuning the air ride will make a well thought out setup work that much better. Give Darren or one of the guys over at ART a shout they can help you tune it for even better handling.
      I remember on one of the first street challenges they had a shoebox doing pretty good on the course.
      Personally I would try something like 17s/18s or 18s/19s but thats just me.
      Enjoy the ride buddy, besides look around for some spare Camaro tags and save for a dynacorn body later on and then build an ultimate Camaro later hehehe.

      I saw Danny's 56 today, I think he did pretty well. It is a nice car to drive and have fun in (with alot more trunk space). I think the current wheel combo is nice on it, but I know he likes larger wheels. Either way, whatever size he decides on it will be nice.

      Looked at your F-Quick page for details on the Camaro.

      I own a 56 chevy myself. That being said I think you traded the better car away. The camaro had a B&M charged 408. You got a crate 350 w/ a three speed! They both had full air ride. The 56 interior looks nice. There were no pics of the camaro interior for comparison so I'm assuming an advantage for the 56.

      Yes the 56 is more spacious but that is an intangible. The motor, trans, wheels, paint, fit & finish are important to me. I feel all points were equal until you get to the drivetrain where your camaro had the distinct advantage.

      But the 56 is cool. I hope you have many years of fun in it. Pull the crate and trans and put a magnacharged 408 LS in it.

      That 56 tops your Camaro IMO. I think you did well.... now don't go clownmobile on us with some 19/20 combo.

      Have you figured out how to put gas in it yet?

      for clarification, I was pleaseantly surprised the 56 has a low mileage 383 and a 700R4 so the drive trains with the exception of the B&M and Trick flow heads are comparible. Now on the fuel door.... I will admit when told where it was I actually turned the bulb! and when my wife went to put fuel in she did the same! But we have that figured out now...

      I think you did good too. I love 55 and 56's.

      Now all you need is plastic burgers and fries and one of those crybaby dolls.

      JK! Lolz.
