Thanks for that info Pappy, I thought that the a-arms didn't look like a Camaro. Great idea using the Vette IRS suspension and an inner third member from something else, as the Vette is an integrated transmission and 3rd member.

Did you consider using a quick change 3rd member? I've wondered how hard it would be to use this kind of set up instead of an OEM third member.
