Its fine, I plan on driving it more than you guys think.
Don't you guy ever go down neighborhoods where there are big speed bumps.

If I lower the car too much I won't be able to visit the shop when the car is done. I'll have to park my car on the street and walk a 1/4 mile down the driveway to the shop.

Most of the trimming is done on the tail panel.

Also I didn't like the way most of the camaros looked with tucked bumpers the ends have way too much of an arc and look like an old truck bumper. So Tim and his awesome abilities at metal fabrication, hammered and reshaped the ends of the bumper. Giving the front and rear more of a matching appearance.

bumper looks real good!!

The only time my car leaves my house it's on a trailer...so it can sit good and low!! I'm sure once Pete works his magic I will get real seat time!!

I had the oppotunity to see SINISTER in person recently. My wife and I stopped by the shop on our cross-country vacation.

SINISTER looks great in-person. Photos are nice, but there is nothing like seeing it in person, especially in this stage of the project.

Keep up the great work...... and I'm glad to hear that you plan on driving the car a lot. These (our) cars should be driven!

We modified the stock ends. Looked into modifying 69' front bumper ends, but the peak wouldn't have the same effect on the back.

[96z28ss]

more shots of the rear bumper and shows how the ends were reshaped to give the bumper more of a similar look to the front. The stock rear bumper just looked to much of a bubble.





I like how they use the quarter panel as a sketch pad.



This shot also shows where the license plate recess on the bumper was shortened to match the opening in the rear valance.
From the factory the bumper opening is wider than the valance.

The rear looks way cool.....

Bumper treatment may have to be in line for my car now...
