Default Fesler Built new 1969 BB Camaro project update 4

Here are some shots of fixing some rust on the door and getting the firewall ready to be smoothed out. We do the car right we cut out any and all rust and weld in new metal for a rust free body.

The Suspension, we removed all the factory suspension and installed the Air Ride Technologies upper and lower control arms up front with the Shock waves so we can get the car low.

Huge 6 piston Baer brakes all the way around

Tubs

The rear of the Camaro is pointless from the factory with the way the rear frame rails are installed any kind of horse power would bend them up so the best thing to do with them is to remove the factory ones and install some good ones that can handle horse power

So we cut out the stock rear frame rails and inner fenders so we can make some new ones that will fit the larger wheels

The rear frame rails will be moved over a bit as well to clear the larger wheels and then we will build some custom sub frame connectors so strengthen the under side of the car
