Deal
 
If you found no rust or other damage, you got a great deal on that car.

Looks good already, nice way to start.

That looks badass! Is that two-tone on the powder coating on the frame or is it the light? Powder coat is the way to go. Tough as nails. How were the body bushing perches? They had to re-weld new ones on mine. they were rusted, but came out good in the end.

It must be the light cause was all one color. The perches were fine been real lucky without finding any rust or any damage caused from it.

Got the tires mounted yesterday.

I was at the car show in Kemah tonight ran into a guy selling a set of c7 seats brand new cause he put sparco in his c7. Anyone know if they will fit in a 1970 camaro? I bought them anyway but just wanted to know what am up against.

Thanks brother

18x10 6.125" bs Outer rim 2.0x18 Inner rim 8.0x18 Fikse Profil 5

19x12.5 5.875" bs Outer rim 5.5x19 Inner rim 7.0x19 Fikse Profil 5

Making some progress not very much but some. Mounted the tires to the rims I bought from SW. Tried to buy the DSE mini tub kit but it was on back order. Tried buy DSE Quadralink it was also on back order. So bought the mini tubs from DSE and going install the speed tech torque arm. I also bought the narrowed gas tank from DSE even though do not need it now will install it anyway. Stephens race cars will do the mini tub installation and the installation of the torque arm. Also going have them put stronger axles, posi unit, and 3.73 gears instead of the 3.08 in it. Soon as car is mini tubbed the fun will finally begin can put it all back together to be able to drive it. I wanted go with a LS swap but just did not have it in the budget so rebuilt the 383 put a hydraulic roller in it, bought a vintage air front runner with dse power steering pump, had the headers receramic coated, and will install the msd atomic efi. Bought a 3200 yank convertor for the 4l80e transmission. Doing all I can to get this car running before the power tour know will not be painted by then but sure think can get it rolling by then. Please hurry parts!

The seats will fit, but a little narrow and a little high. You will need to reinforce (if the seats came with the mounting brackets) the pan below the brackets though to make it safe, road worthy and track worthy are two different "worthy's" btw

Those do look like some EXTREMELY narrow seats just sitting on the ground, with no other interior bits around them. I feel like I'd need one seat for each cheek.

Gonna look sweet in your car, though!
