Did you see the price. $1100 that seems alittle steep to me. Most of us are planning on running a aftermarket 4 link. I think you would be better off using straight rails like the ones from 21st century and getting a different tank. With these rails that he has you still need to modify the trunk pan and get a aftermarket tank.

I really dont see the advantage. JMO

Well I like the factory look . Mikes parts are topnotch as it shows on his web site. I know that they are a little pricey compaired to the other rails, but I just do'nt like the generic look of the other rails thats just me! Also dealing with Mike has been awsome he takes time to answer all my PM's no bs!!

Guys check out this pic of the new rails.
I really love what Mike is doing here, was going to do something similar myself but he beat me to it.

Mike's work is top notch.

Mike says you can fit a 17" tire in a 69 Camaro with his new rails.

Looks good! Do you have to use a c/o based suspension or will leafs with off-set shackles still work?

You can run leafs w/off set shackles up to a 315mm on 67-68 and 345mm on 69 .You will need to run a 4-link suspension to run a 355mm or bigger tire on 69 bodys.
