Default 67 Camaro project "It Don't Fit"

I am now presenting the Lat-g debut of my world famous 67 Camaro. This car will be the standard for all builds to follow. It will be the pinnacle of the pro-touring movement. It will achieve what others have set out to do, but would fall short every time.

Ok, back to reality. I decided to showcase my build, not only, to show off my lack of skills, but to, hopefully, get the help I need instead of starting many threads.

Objectives of my build:
1. GET IT DONE! I started this build 10 years ago and its time to get it done and enjoy it.
2. Chew bubble gum and kick ace at the events.

Details:
67 RS car. It is an early build. Bolero Red with black vinyl top. Factory console with gauges and tach. Black deluxe interior with fold down rear seat. Tinted windshield. Interior bright trim. Big ole bumper guards. Powerglide car with 12 bolt rear. 4 wheel manual drum brakes. All of which has been changed for a more modern setup, except the 12 bolt.

First was rust repair...

Dash top
Toe boards
LH and RH floor boards
Center trunk pan
NOS outer wheel houses
NOS quarters
Patch lower corners of front fenders
NOS header panel

I built a rotisserie and finished all the welds and sandblasted the majority of the car. I then finished the bottom all the way up to high build primer.

It took me several years working on the car every now and then to get all the above done. I then got burned out on the car and it sat for a few years with very little progress made.

Flash forward to today...

I had a friend build me a 4L60E trans with all upgraded internals. It will be utilizing the Baumann Optishift trans controller.
I had so many new SBC parts laying around that I scraped my LS1 build and put together a 450 horse SBC 350.
I put all new bearings and new Moser axles in my factory Eaton posi, 3.73 12 bolt rear diff with a 'Jegs' aluminum diff cover. Need to find someone to weld up the tubes.
I recently purchased the Ridetech AirBar with their new single adjustable coilovers.
Speedtech ATS Chicane front coilover mounts for the stock subframe.
Ridetech upper and lower control arms
DSE 600 steering box
Ridetech Tru Turn setup
DSE subframe connectors
DSE firewall fill plate
DSE mini tubs
Vintage Air Gen IV hvac setup with billet controller
Speedhut custom gauge set
Custom center console modeled after the 67 original gauge console, but with an arm rest and cup holder
Lokar billet 6" shifter
Lokar LED shifter display bezel with boot
Billet steering wheel
Cheesy Ebay aluminum radiator
LT1 electric fams
Spal PWM fan controller
PI Vigilante 2600 converter
B&M trans cooler
-AN fittings
SS hardlines
Wilwood 13" 6 piston front brakes
Wilwood 12.19" rear brakes
G-Force transmission crossmember
EMS billet hood hinges
EMS billet tail light bezels
Hotchkis front sway bar
LED tail lights and 05 Grand Am LED center brake light. Will be inserted in rear spoiler
AAW Classic update wiring harness
18" C6 Z06 Motorsports wheels
Nitto NT 05 tires

That is where the car is at the moment. I am, now, in the process of mini tubbing the car. To save a little coin, I'm going to just split the factory inner tubs and add metal to them.
