Thanks ! Kudo's also need to go to Rushforth for the design work as well , i'm in the middle of changing the hood , deck lid , spoiler and the filler to carbon fiber , also installed the carbon fiber A-pillars and the radiator core support filler panel and hopefully knock about a 100 lbs out of it , the paint design is still going to stay the same but the black carbon fiber will replace the black paint and we'll also retain the red outline of the black , BTW I was talking to the folks at Anvil and they have a really cool carbon fiber rear defuser coming for 2nd gens as well as a front spoiler should be really cool !

The camaro is the exact same car i have had in my head for some time. Its pretty crazy to see your exact same idea come out on somebody elses car. So that means that the car looks bada$$.

Mike, that's one nice Camaro you got there. Loved the article in Camaro Performers, can't wait to see how all that Anvil stuff looks.

You can definetly get the front down to "pavement scrapping" levels with the stock subframe. I used 2" drop spindles and QA1 coilover conversion with heidts 1" narrowed A arms. Was able to run 18x8 with a 245-40-18 with no rub lock to lock.

For the back I used a Martz chassis mini 4 link and mini tubbed it myself. After seeing how that suspension was made I have ordered all fab pieces to build my own triangulated 4 link on my current project, 70 nova.

Hi Jason,

Okay I've saved your pics for years now and I am about to start cutting up my 2nd gen.

I have a couple Questions for you.

On your mini-tub did you just move the wheelwell and not touch the frame ??

I love the look of the 295 40 20 on the rear of the car. How low were you able to get the rear ??

Not that you need any more, but here are a few more pics that I took at the Optima event... just because I love this car.
