Well, here she is. Couple things I forgot. The rear spoiler is where it all started, fiberglass piece of my own design. Love it! This all snowballed from here.
All the chrome pieces were bead blasted and ceramic coated flat black.
I have had this car out since last summer and have been teaching myself HP Tuners, runs like a striped ass ape! after a broken tie rod end, a junk fuel pump and a little trouble with one of the rear brakes, I can finally say it is done!
Handles like it's on rails, turning radius is tight, hooks as well as can be expected, no annoying rattles or wind noises. Very well sorted out car.
This is one good thing that came out of the COVID era, had plenty of extra time to finish it up!
I hope I did this site some justice. Like I said, this is my first post, not even sure if the format is right. Feel free to ask any questions. Hope you enjoy!

Where does one get a diffuser to start with? is there one out there that is close to fitting and just needs some tweaks? 68 CAmaro

All the ones that I have seen are custom.

Vey well done. Color choices are excellent. So nice to see something different in a pro-touring build, with color. The rear of the car is amazing. I appreciate a build that’s done by the owner, and you’ve done a great job. Only issue I have is that you need to post more.

This made them less dominate visually and really add to the overall look of the car. My trip to SEMA back in 18' was spent researching wheel and tire sizes. My conclusion was that 20" wheels were just too large for what I was building. After 3 days of photos and arguing with my buddies, as I was leaving the main hall, there at the entrance was a beautiful orange 69 with 19" rears and 18" fronts...Perfect!
So, after weeks of constant measuring and discussions with Billet Spec., 18x9 fronts and 19x11 rears were decided on. Yes, I could have squeezed 12" rears in there but at this price point, I just wasn't comfortable making a mistake. I'm old and conservative, I guess.
The floor was sprayed with a Ceramic sound deadener as was the trunk.

what are your tire sizes?regards
