The interior, you did right by your old blue Camaro. Less is more for that entire build! The meanness is what sticks out on that ride.

Something very simple and OEM looking. I know there will be no center console. The guage/switch deal will stay and the long parts of the roll bar will be wrapped in black leather. Headliner will be stock and the carpet will be an original style cut. No back seat and the circle track mirror.

The door panels are still under consideration.

Hi Steve,
Do you have a pic of the car with the proper hide height? I remember a pic that had the a$$ end high in the air...
Thanks, David

Well the pic above is pretty close. I won't have the stance nailed until I get the wheels back from Forgeline and install the new (shorter) rear springs.

When we had the 3-link installed and were waiting for shocks the back sat REAL high.

A little birdie told me that the new springs are sitting at the shop awaiting install. When are the wheels coming!?

The car was calling out to me when I stopped by the shop today. It was saying "let me out from under this cover, I want to play....." Soon Penny, soon.

What spring rate did you go with?
