Here are some of my thoughts that may help you speed things up as your time line is very short.

Quote:
Add a full roll cage
-- Make sure you leave enough room so you can add padding so you can drive the car on the street if you want to. I would hate to have you get hurt driving the car without a helmet and smack your head on the cage.


Quote:
Smooth/Clean firewall
-- buy the DSE firewall patch panel.

Quote:
Optimize pedal layout for heel toe shifting - because I suck at it
-- don't we all suck at it

Quote:
Flare front fenders for 315 tires.
Look at what D&Z and Dutch boys did with there 2nd gen as it works so well


Quote:
Move turn signals to headlights and change current lights to brake ducts.
JIC you are interested I have a standard camaro header that I had the RS housing cut into if you are interested in it. You can then move the indicators up there or use them for brake ducts


Quote:
Make front splitter or extend current factory replacement.
This could kill two birds with one stone. Extend it and then add your brake ducts into the splitter.

So far all I’ve really done is destroy the car. Its now torn down and I’ve been focused on cleaning. Today I’ll be ordering up the tubing for a cage but that’s on hold until I get the frame back in place
Destroy - Nahhhh your just having fun. Heck I took my 70 apart last weekend as it needs more heat and sound deadening.

ps DEI sells a lite weight heat insulation for under the carpet.
