Introducing "The Toad"

[spacepirate]

Hey guys,

I've been a member for a while but haven't gotten around to posting some pics of my 68 Camaro I call, "The Toad". (don't laugh, it came to me in a dream!) LOL! Anyways, I picked up the car about a year and a half ago from a kid going to college at ASU whose uncle had willed to him when he passed. Sadly, the kid needed the money more than the ride so I grabbed it at a great price. Cali car with no rust that had a worn out 350 and no interior.

I really wanted to update everything I could (on a budget) and this is what I've done so far:

-Complete redo of the interior, deluxe stock with the exception of ProCar front seats.

-New Vintage Gauges (This set looks fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough!)

-GM Fast Burn 385 Crate and 700r4 Trans. Wanted to go LS but found an insane deal on the engine brand new and had to take it. Hopefully go LS in a couple years.

-Ride Tech suspension all around with Uppers, Lowers, coil overs and air bar in back. I can't believe how much better this thing rides. Oh L&H Kustoms Spindles.



-Baer Track 4 brakes

-Show Wheels 18/7's and 18/8's. Hoping to have enough funds for a minitub this spring/summer and then some fatter rims and tires.

Well thats the main guts so now some pics. I hope to attend some events in the near future and hope to meet everyone there!!

Camaro looks great. Did you have any caliper to wheel clearance issues?

[spacepirate]

They BARELY fit but they did fit!

[Jeff70]

No spacers whatsoever? Did you purchase them direct from show wheels?

[spacepirate]

No, I got them from Jon at Driverz Inc. Really affordable and have been pleased so far.
