Those Camaro seats will look cool and they're comfy

Thanks, I think so too. The only thing that excites me more about this project than the seats and interior, is the the engine.

Decided to get the frame notched to fit my rims on instead of buying new hoops with a different offset. wheels are 3 piece Forgiatos 24x10 rear with 5.5. fronts are 24x8.5 with 4.5 or 4.75 backspacing cant remember. wheels have brushed aluminum face and everything else is black.

I went this route so i can run 275 60 18 drag radials that are 29 or 30 inch overall. fenderlips are rolled.

also wanted the frame braced since it was being notched. braced the frame rails side to side with 1 5/8 tube .132 thick

I hate the painted drums. I bought the car like that. Im going with a disk kit when funds allow it. until then ill just paint then black.

almost done.

And I braced the frame rails side to side with 1 5/8 tube .132 thick

test fitting the wheels. im going to need coil overs to dial in the ride height i want. i would like to be at least an inch lower. 5.5 inch lips in the rear.
