Thanks guys!

Next up is doing the subframe connectors and flaring the fenders.

When talking to the welder he brought up the idea of raising the floor somewhat where the your feet would go in the rear seat to provide better clearance to run exhaust. Has anyone else done this? It would be done while installing the subframe connectors.

Also when installing a ls with a magnum trans on a DSE subframe does the tunnel have to be modified? I'm thinking of using set back mounts for better distribution.

After this is brakes and running lines. I'm started to do research between Baer and Willwood but anyone with experience that wants to chime is please do!

I'm guessing the final weight of the car will be 3200? Am I crazy.

yes, tunnel with have to be modified. I'm a Baer guy, but Wilwood has some new offerings that look promising.

I've been talking to DSE to get an idea of what's required for the car. They recommended the Baer 6P kit for the front. The whole bolt on no guess work is becoming attractive after a year of modifying and piecing everything together.

The 2k price doesn't seem bad but I feel that I might be numb and not feeling sticker shock anymore from the amount of money I have in the build already.

The rear is a bit harder because it's a mod lite full floater set up from Speedway Engineering. The same kind that Maier racing is using in their mustang.

Brakes, fuel pumps, fuel and brake lines, seats, there is too much going through my head...

I need help guys lol

I've seen this before but I've never seen it installed on a car. Does it interfer with the center console? I was thinking about running the Gen 5 camaro center console.

It says it works with a first gen console. I think you are on your own as far as it working with a 5th gen console.
