Project "Dorothy" daily driven 1969 Camaro

[Aschle]

After the steering wheel swap, I decided to put a cowl hood on it, along with the rear spoiler. I had a set of 15x8 GM rally wheels, which ended up all being slightly out of round. That turned into using the wheels off of my 57 Chevy, so there were no vibrations while on the freeway. Custom wheels on a stock vehicle looks a little funny to me, so lowering the car came next. After adjusting the height, the stock drum brakes looked awful behind billet wheels. lol

Fast forward a few years... Don't think anyone wants the -entire- story here. haha

Motor and transmission ran flawlessly, but a 307 with a 2 barrel / T350 and a 2:56 gear out back makes for a big lack of fun factor. I decided to pull the engine and trans from my 91 Camaro (got tired of dealing with California smog nonsense).

Healthy SBC /T56 and 4:11 makes for much more fun

Now traction was a big problem. I decided to get some tires that would hook. Here is where things began getting (in my mind) serious.

Like I said at the beginning, it is my daily driver, so I am constantly making changes to suit my likes / needs. I hope to paint it this coming winter, but time will tell.
