Come one man- you are talking to the guy that cut up a perfect rust free RS/SS big block 68 Camaro. I never cry when cars or parts get cut. All that means to me is more weight savings!

beautiful part. Glad to see someone making these. Any idea on weight savings?

Have you guys had a chance to test the wheel/tire sizing with a stock subframe yet?

the full carbon ones weigh 7 lbs each.. I think the stock ones are around 20 lbs.. so about 26 pounds saved for a pair (and more tire space).

I hope they make them for a '68.. I was going to modify Penny's this summer, but would rather do this.

I was looking into modifying mine as well, or fabbing some up. I'd like to try and stuff a 275 up front, I've already got the steering stops setup. Nailing the offset will be the difficult part.

Beautiful piece though, pricey for what it is, but beautiful.

Stock wheel wells clear a 275, it's the frame that's the problem on a 69.
