Would like to say 55.5" or rear end I'll look it up when I get a chance |
ok thanks, I wasn't sure what lengths guys were running. I may have a line on a full floater but its 57", But I would like to have a deep offset on the rear wheels, so I'm curious to see what the offsets actually look like on the car. Do you by chance know how narrow you can get away with with the DSE deep tubs?

JD every car is different, so measure for sure. I could not fit 55.5" and 12" wide / 5.5 BS wheels on the rear. 54.5" was the ticket for me. I know others have gone a skootch wider.
Cheers, |
Frank! Congrats on lighting the fire!! That is such a great time in a build :cheers:

Now I'm curious cause I can not find my notes on that. It's only been 5 years or so.:) Yes it is Ron . Got to get brakes figured out, a few break in miles and get some good shake down runs.. |
Yah thanks, I was curious, mine is also a 69 camaro and I figured I would ask because that deep offset in you wheels is about what looking for. I still haven't put together the back half of mine as of yet, still a few more things to do before I even hang the rear quarters. I will be scavenging most of my parts and would like to know what has worked for other cars.

Well it's up and running , still got some adjustments that need to be done but it runs and drives like a dream. Today was the first time that I actually enjoyed the drive ( punched it a few times ). It's very responsive all around . I actually expected a more rigid ride considering it's bare bones metal shell on solid body mounts. The only interior on it is the door panels.
Need to change coil over springs from 450s to 550s Run a vent for rear end , it's spilling a bit of gear oil Got to figure out the pwm out puts for cooling fans, from ecu they're always grounded and on. I'm pretty sure it's a programming issue. All systems are up ( minus AC ). Including guard dog Ikey RS ( works great ). I eliminated AC Pullys initially because I'm not comfortable with the bearings and compressor is sitting on my hand built bracket. Don't know how the belt is going to react yet in the high rpms. So that's next on the list . After that ,drive heck out of it . Brake all down again for final stage . AC bracket in question http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7lagator.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...psefw18myp.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0zcip3wo.jpg |

So I have been playing with it when time permits . Built these hood pieces " wanted to put 200dx to work". Not my cup of tea , they're doing too much but it was fun building them .
Been chasing some idle voltage issues . Got dash board , center console and interior quarter panels powder coated , dash got some leather. The bare metal reflection was not good for driving. In the process of finalizing kick panels. Made them out perforated aluminum . AC is blowing cold, no known issues w idler pulleys and home made bracket. Trying to put any and all trim / pieces make sure it fits . Still cutting and welding on a few spots as it comes up. Drove it to Pomona swap meet . It pulls and drives very nice all around. Maybe flaring front fenders about an inch at most to get the perfect stance http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...psuzg8qcnx.jpg. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...psecnuyzhc.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...pssznfxut8.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps731adfh0.jpg |
