      68 Camaro Part 2

      I originally built this car while i was in high school. It was very bare. No AC/Heat, radio, or interior for that matter. I really wasn't too concerned about it back then. In college i wrecked it because i fell asleep (you would wonder how considering the car was crazy loud, finals, no sleep, dorms closed up).



      After 3-4 years, work has started to slow down enough for me to start working on her again.

      Current parts list:
      Forged 347 LS1, ported heads, monster cam, ewp
      Stainless Works headers
      D&D T56 Trans
      Denny's Nitrous Ready Driveshaft
      Moser 12-bolt, 33spline, 4.11s
      Autometer Gauges
      Fuel cell in trunk

      Planned parts:
      Aftermarket sub-frame (leaning towards Art Morrison)
      G-Link rear
      C6Z06 brakes (seem to be the most budget friendly option)
      Fikse 5 or 5S wheels
      DSE Mini-tub
      Vintage Air
      Electric Windows (any recommendations?)
      Ricks tank
      etc, etc

      What do y'all think about putting a '69 dash in? It will allow all my gauges to be centrally located as well as allowing an e-brake where the console used to be. Or has any body see an e-brake worked into the center console?

      Should i keep the drip rails or remove them?

      Here are some pics of how she looked before i started taking her apart. Car will be going to the body shop either this week or next week to get put in primer.

      Yea, your probably thinking of the right car. I had to put a new factory subframe in.

      It's going to be a 95% street drive with a ton of power. Just sold my +600rwhp Z06 so i want at least that. Considering a '69 dash. Haven't decided whether to keep the drip rails or not. Rear bumper is going to be shortened, brought in tight, and considering lowering it without frenching/recessing it. Haven't decided if i want to keep the front bumper or leave it off. Smooth firewall, DSE wiper, leather interior. And tons of other subtle mods.

      My body guy sent me some pics. It's actually ready for pickup but I am working till Feb so ill get it then. i gave him a few more things to do until then. Still trying to decide on rear suspension. I had decided on the G-link but now im worried about ride height after watching Rybar's thread.
