Thanks for the quick reply Tom. I'll keep the width and back spacing in mind.:thumbsup:

Sorry to hear the paint didn't work out too well. Your car will still be pretty bad@$$ even in primer. Hang in there!!!! :thumbsup:

I am thinking anything but gray. Maybe white tinted primer. I know to some it may seem silly not to finish the paint but I really don't want to stick more money in this car at the moment. Don't tell my fellow chevelle builders but I kinda want a first gen camaro ;) My wife even told me that I should have built a 68 camaro:lol:.

Funny you should say that since I've been working on a '68 Camaro project with my brother.

Well I brought my car back from my Brother's shop mainly because our schedules would rarely match where I could work on my car. My wife loves when I spray in my gararge..not :D . In any case I have got more done in the last few weeks than I have done in the last 6-8 months and it feels good. I scuffed it down after having the problems with the Hot Rod Flatz and had a guy at the paint store mix up something greenish in primer. It's not for everybody but good enough for me for now. The firewall is a semi gloss black. I am not a painter so it is likely below some peoples standard but again it's all about getting it on the road DIY style. The cage and floor board is POR-15 gray. The cage is like painting a golf ball so it has some sags and a few holidays. I had planned to just use it as a base anyway. I have most of the front suspension on except for the sway bar. Gonna start plumbing and routing wire soon. I have to do a little sheet metal work where the back seat used to be. I need to get some shears and maybe build a DIY sheet metal break. Hopefully more updates coming in weeks ahead instead of years :lol:
