The Cameo was tore down and with a quick mock-up I determined the torque tube needed to be stretched by roughly 12 inches. I moved the front wheels forward a skooch to better center them in the fender.

I sent the torque tube off to Gamel Street Rods and they turned it around quickly for a reasonable price.

I also picked up a “low mile” LS6 on eBay to complete the drivetrain.

Progressive Automotive sells a frame brace and frame boxing kit and I installed them on the frame along with their brake pedal and master setup.

The adaptors are quite wide and there really isn’t a lot of room left to integrate them into the frame so the fabrication isn’t as elegant as I would like but it’s heavily braced and fishplated.

Final frame with drivetrain installed. The only non OEM Corvette parts are the Ridetech shocks. Springs, sway bars, rack etc are all C5. The C5 motor mounts and batwing oil pan are also used. I also found a used C5 Corsa exhaust system that I will use with extended tail pipes. Looking forward to that Corsa sound.
