1969 Z-06

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

The car I started with was a nice virgin sheet metal car and saved alot of time. I bot a complete drive train and the wheel base is within 1 in. of a stock camaro so the tork tube did'nt have to be modified. The tracking width is wider so it had to be narrowed and new rear axles had to be made.

Now that's awesome. How much did you have to narrow it up?

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

If I remember it was like 3 and a half on front and 5 on rear. I used the stock Z-06 wheels and they have alot of offset I don't think you could ever get it in far enough to put a conv. style wheel Thank's Bob

I new there had to be someone out there doing this. What about the transverse leafs? How did you narrow them?

[waynieZ]

Thats an awesome project. I can't wait to see this one done.

[T_Raven]

Way cool build.

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

did'nt use factory springs or the cradles front and rear. I've seen them narrowed,split in the middle and rewelded,just does'nt look good. I put coil overs on all 4 corners Bob

[bonecrrusher]

Go with the Pfadt coilovers all the way around.... that'll get rid of the spring all the way around.

QA1 Just came out with a coil over kit for the C5/C6. I am doing the same thing you are doing but in a 68 camaro. Did you lengthen your torque at all?

You gonna run the ZO6 wheels? or are you gonna be able to run a wheel with some lip?? I loved the twin turbo car .I thought it would have been over the top if you would have narrowed the C4 rear
