Matt at RFR Custom Fabrication made up the killer shims for the fenders. The down tube bolts will be changed out in final assembly.



There is still some work to finish up at the back. We are about half way done the rear bellypan but it's coming together really well.

The radiator support and closeout panel was a ton of work but looks natural with the sheetmetal in place. The cable release latch assembly is nice and tidy as well.



Again Matt at RFR Custom Fabrication came through with the upper collars for the hood pins. The Ring Brother's pins were originally designed for Mustangs and left some threads exposed on the Camaro. Matt went above and beyond here and came up with a perfect solution.

That is it.

Best engine bay I've seen in a 1st gen, super clean, very race inspired and simply functional.

This must be a great moment for you. I'm having a beer right now in your name.

Congrats on a great mile stone in your project.

Wow that car is awesome. The stance just screams business. Are those 18's or 19's? I'm sure it will run better then it looks and it looks awesome.

Cheers my friend.

After two and a half years it is really cool to see it on the ground, more or less in one piece.

Thanks Rodger,

I am really happy with the way that the car sits. We spent a lot of time playing with wheels trying to make sure that we were able to get the stance and backspacing bang on and I think that it was worth it in the end.

The wheels are 18's - 8.5" wide on the front and 11" wide on the back.
