Hey thanks for considering AME for your project. If you want, we can get you a list of people up in the northeast that have done this sort of install. Competition Specialties is definitely a good shop and they are a great customer.

Thanks, that would be great. Im sure you have a more extensive list than I managed to put together. Comp Spec has a wicked Pro-Touring Camaro up on their site with your frame underneath it so theres evidence right there that they are more than capable.

I would say that 200-250 hrs is a safe est. Depending on what shops charge, you can gauge your own estimate from that. I think that having all your loose parts like wheels/tires and fuel tank would help in coming up with a solid plan up front. Also knowing what modifications you want and or will need up front would benifit you and your builder in coming up with a master plan.

Feel free to call me to discuss further.

I definitely plan on a fuel tank from ricks hot rod and 18x12 wheels in the rear. Given that the tank can be made to your specs is it necessary to have the tank pre-frame/floor construction. Also given a wheel width and backspacing, is it necessary to have the actual parts on hand?

Besides having a flat firewall and trans tunnel(4l80e) fabbed up what else would be necessary for the front end?

no reason to do a ricks tank unless yo u have him build you a custom tank, no reason for stock in a non stock floor car.
i would look into fuel safe, atl for fuel cells

thanks for the tip.. i just saw everybody running rick's fuel tanks and assumed it was the benchmark for road racing.

Morrison knows the backspacing for the front and rear wheels and the correct rear end widths well enough you can proceed without having the actual wheels. Your builder will probably need your engine trans for floor / firewall work

Rick's tanks are not good out of the box for road racing. The tank doesn't have inner baffles with fuel doors, or check balls. The tank we now have from Rick's is a road race tank specifically designed for road racing, and fast driving. The difference in cost is about $1000. Talk to Hector at Rick's if you want this add on. It's well worth it.
