Moved the driver side quarter panel back to the stockish location. It was pushed out 3/4 of an inch when is was a drag car. Looks like a sled hammer deal. Matt fixed it.

I am very interested in the transmission crossmember. You can see the tabs poking through the floor, and the mount itself... Can you shed light on what the topside looks like? I would love to get ideas for my own car.


Beautiful build as always !!!

We have done this trans mount before on 4 Camaros. No issues so far. Makes a super clean set up.

Do you make mounts or brackets to mount your Recaro seats? Also, are you using 6pt bits? Where have you found it best for the mounting points?

We make the adapter from the stock seat pan to the Recaro seat tracks. I’ll try to find a photo.

For the sub belt we modify the seat pan to allow for it to be bolted in.

Thank you for the reply. I am absolutely going to be using that method. Super clean, simple, and it works !!!

On a side note, whoever is doing the welding on the car, is an artist !!!
