How about a 69' with a complete 2008 Z-06 running gear and suspension? How about a full crome moly chassie? I being building on it for a little over a year and it's almost done. I'm not much for posting and posting pics so bear with me and i'll do the best I can Thank's Bob

The car I started with was a nice virgin sheet metal car and saved alot of time. I bot a complete drive train and the wheel base is within 1 in. of a stock camaro so the tork tube did'nt have to be modified. The tracking width is wider so it had to be narrowed and new rear axles had to be made.

Now that's awesome. How much did you have to narrow it up?

If I remember it was like 3 and a half on front and 5 on rear. I used the stock Z-06 wheels and they have alot of offset I don't think you could ever get it in far enough to put a conv. style wheel Thank's Bob

You gonna run the ZO6 wheels? or are you gonna be able to run a wheel with some lip?? I loved the twin turbo car .I thought it would have been over the top if you would have narrowed the C4 rear

WOW!! Nice work.This is going to be a real nice car.I think the Qa1's will work fine unless you want too go after Mark Stielow , Brain Finich,or Kyle Tucker in all competition.Some of the folks think it has to be over the top to be a good product.
