They had to use all kinds of duct tape, plastic bags, etc. to make it all work. I felt the pain and could identify--LOL. So, that's how it came to be. Seems like the car fights me with just about every bolt on.

Lookin good Doug.. I guess since you accomplished quite a bit this weekend you are hereby forgiven for not returning my call. :_paranoid :D

Very nice Doug. Or should I say, Mr Renner?:D Should be nice on the highway. Have fun in Apollo.:cheers:
Is your center console from a late 4th gen Camaro/Trans Am?

Looking good my man! I like the name! If you name a car it should truely mean something! Yours most certainly does! There were many late nights I wanted to name mine 'throw in the towel! :lol: The scary thing is I have a lot of those nights ahead of me still! :yes:

All of these mods are for the following street car shown below;

Sorry for the confusion---both cars share the same garage and the Green 69 drag radial car got in the pics based on proximity (aka lack of space).

The PT 69 is awesome, but definitely would love to see some pictures of the Drag 69 and the get specifications.

Dub,

Did you really think a gen-U-ine, made in the U.S. of A. 1969 Camaro would accept those wheels without fighting back any way it could... against your diabolical plan?

Yeah, you know that mission was called the "Successful Failure"----I laugh everytime I think about it---that's what I would call all my efforts towards the cars. Even if you succeed in this deal, it's still just a car in the end and you can't take it with you--but that won't stop me from failing successfully over and over on it. :lol: See you in Feb!

The console is out of a 2004 Trans Am. Got the complete setup minus the E-Brake handle and assembly on Ebay for $50.00. (Tony ended up sending me an ebrake setup for this console for free that he wasn't going to use--thanks again Tony!) It fit in the car with no mods to it. I love the thing since it has the arm rest, cup holders, change holder and power port for the cell phone. It's where I run the I-Pod hookup--inside the arm rest storage area---quite a cool setup for $50.

Doug
