He did not think any rear camber would be worth it for me so we went with none. We did consider it.
I'd love to put the exhaust into the rockers but that is just more time and money and I love the boom tube as it is. It is quite think actually and I am hoping we can tuck it as nicely with the new torque arm as we had it before. Some cutting should be needed I imagine.
I know exactly the 69 Camaro you speak of... I talked to the shop that did the flares on that car not too long ago as that car is local to me. He doesn't run it much anymore -- he bought a Z06 -- yawn.
That car is definitely on my short list for inspiration as well. My spoilers should be finished soon and they should be pretty cool and still functional. I am not quite into the big wing camp yet.
Thanks
Vince, did you hire any help down there yet? I hear your shop is bustin at the seams!
The car should get reasonably low but I don't want too low. The flares should actually make it look lower than it is and the larger (lower) front spoiler will do its job we think. It has been tested at high speeds on faster tracks than what we have out here.
I'd love to get you involved somehow. Let me see if I can get something worked in.  |
yeah just keep me in mind. I know Rich got you handled but let me know. I love to work with local businesses to keep stuff efficient and in CA.
No hired help yet. Busting at the seams not quite but close. 7 Projects in the shop and 4 waiting in the wings you can't complain.
