Default Mitchell Bros. Camaro?

I am looking for any contact information for the Mitchell Brothers. They have a build-up that I am interested in. I believe it's a '68 Camaro, dubbed "ZR/28" or something like that. It boasts a IRS rear suspension and a ZR-1 'Vette engine from the early 90's. Any contact info on the builder/owner would GREATLY be appreciated. Thanks alot for your help, fellas.

Here's the page link:

That looks like a great build. Some nice attention to detail going into it from what I saw in the pics.

Thank goodness! First of all, excellent build-up. I've been drooling over this build for quite sometime now. I want to know a little more about the fab process of the rear sub-frame and the IRS set-up. Who provided the heavy-duty "bat wing" for this vehicle? I have a '69 Camaro that I want to do a similar set-up for and your vehicle is an EXCELLENT reference for me.
Sending PM!

The bat wing is a stock Dana 44 rear end cover that I modified. I had a local machine shop water jet, out of aluminum, the tube shapes needed to insert into the holes of the wings. I then covered the front and back with aluminum skins. Then ground the welds and polished. I would love to post some pics but they are all too large and I don't know how to reduce them. I know that Paul Newman, www.newmancarcreations.com has a batwing that he has produced but I don't know anything about it.

Thanks for the kind words srh3trinity.

This is a picture of the aluminum parts that I was trying to describe in yesterday's post along with the finished installation.
