We have made a lot more progress on the car than the we have on build thread over the past few weeks. So, here is a big update to get this one brought up to its current state.

Here is the area of the rear footwell that needs to be modified for the frame rail to pass through. We have fabbed a sheet metal channel that is welded into the floor for the frame rail to pass through. We also add an extra body mount in this location.

A complete view of the required floor modifications to install the chassis into a stock body. You can also see the reinforcing plate with the hole drilled for the new body mount.

A view from underneath

The car was also fitted with deep wheel tubs. Here you can see the front corner of the trunk (that was modified on the previous page) has been welded up and ready for metal finishing.

Assembly has progressed on the chassis in this picture and the body is ready to be mated to it for the final time.

The inner fender required a minor notch to clear the upper shock mount.

The rear frame bracket bolts up the the original rear leaf spring mount in the stock sub rail.

A little branding!

New stainless exhaust system was fabbed up and stainless tank from Rock Valley was installed.

A few suspension detail shots.

And the completed product outfitted with a new set of Forgeline ZX3P's with Matte black centers and polished hoops that really set the car off. We were extremely pleased that the customer took our recommendation to replace the directional billet wheels with the new Forgelines.

Turned out really nice. You guys really do make it look easy. Excellent work!

Absolute proof that wheels and stance do make the car. In this case a Roadster Shop FAST TRACK Camaro chassis and Forgeline ZX3P Wheels

From a dated, poor handling, average cruise night car into a serious pro-touring machine in just over 200 hours!
