Hey John, Eric here. Thanks for the link on that car. Was that the one on the lift in the background pics of your car while working in the cage? There is some serious hardware in that Camaro. 2 1/4" primaries? I remember having 2 1/4" pipes on my old 68rs 327 4sp . That was the main pipes! It looks like some major cutting on that floor and tunnel. What is the squared out "box" where the gas pedal should be? For trans clearance?

It's supposed to be at the painters now. They were working on the front sway bar mounting and trans tunnel mods when I last saw it and said they were going to install the engine for the last time and send it to the painters the next day. The restoration bodywork was done up in canada somewhere if I remember correctly. I'll get some more info on the car.

JW racing has been done a lot of nice cars, Their reputation keeps them booked up. They do a lot of drag cars, street rods, crawlers/4 wheel stuff and more recently cars like ours. No fooling around, they just ask what you want, get them done, and move on to the next. No advertising really just word of mouth from satisfied customers.

They did a full cage, Kirkey seat mounts, seat mods, tow hook fabrication, fire bottle mounts etc. on my car. The job was done very well in a timely manner. They had to do a lot of fabrication and on a "finished" car being carefull not to chip paint and so on.The only slow downs were caused on my end with incorrectly sized seats. Here's a link to the thread with the work they did to my car documented in it. http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48151

Since everyone loves shop pics here's a few I took with that 67 in them. I couldn't look at that car too much, otherwise I'd be tearing my 67 up! I've got enough projects going as it is!
