Here are some pics from 21st Century Street Machines latest project - installing a C5 IRS into a 69 Camaro. Looks right at home in there.

That looks familiar.
Are they going to use the transaxle too?

The transaxle will work with this setup as well. This project has a C5 pumpkin with an adapter plate we've machined that has customized input shaft and yoke because the customer didn't want to give up the back seat. It'll be hooked up to his T56 tranny via a standard driveshaft like setup.Tyler this cradle has been narrowed to fit under the stock sheet metal. You remember in my original postings last year we had planned to develop this as a kit and so during development we've built all our jig fixtures for our manufacturing setup to do it over and over. We also have developed a body jig to produce kit cars that'll look alot like a 1st gen Camaro. LOL. This car was in development at the time Mike Tancreti decided to purchase it. The next one gets the C5 Rear transaxle. We've been real busy developing the full product line and you already know of the C5 front subframe the subframe connectors, our rear medium tub kit( not my desciption but one of the mag writers quips) the stepped racing headers for all drivetrains, the custom narrowed tanks and now we have a real slick roll cage that tucks into the A pillar and becomes part of the interior. We also ahave the 4-link rears available for the medium tub kit. We're presntly packaging supercharger and turbo kits. It'll be possible to one stop shop at 21st Century Street Machines for your 1st gen Camaro.I'll try and keep up with the posting but you can always get me at [email protected]. Thanks Ed

Very nice Ed.. can't wait to get you my car.. find a trailer yet?

I know you are swamped.. call me up tomorrow if you get some time.

Love the IRS deal.. very nice. I might have you look at my PHR set-up while the car is there..

So the car can go in a junker and come out done? cool.. you guys do a lot of painting?

Ive seen pics of the cage.. it almost looks organic and it really blends into the body of the car.. looks very labor intensive to make.

I guarantee you have not seen anything like it.. very
