Cool Update 12/5

A good day in the garage, it was in the 50's and I had to get something done on the Camaro .... so I finished removal of the spring perches, mocked up the RT weld-on lower brackets, fabbed some 3/16 strap to simulate the shock height at 14.5", and fitted Scott's fix to my tranny mount issue.

Need to recheck the angle of the lower brackets and the side2side center and tack the brackets and tack the tranny adapter in place ... then take it to work and use the BIG welder again.


Got the perch off and ..... YES that is BONDO! WTF?

Mock straps and set width.

Ride Tech setup is sweet!

Clamped on Scott's adapter to the crossbrace.

View from bottom ... Scott's welds are beautiful!

That's why I went w weld on brackets .... an extra inch per side!

Was gonna get the subframe connectors in, but a slight engineering fault (my bad) ... the side plates I welded on are too long and I can't get the connector up in the car and slide past the cross member brace. So I have to pull the front end out and then put the connectors in and then slide the subframe back and line it up w the connectors .....

Thanks for looking ....
