As for the black '69 built by Scott Widby, super nice car, but far from "Radical" IMO.
Thanks for the link. I also agree about Widby's cars as the last few seem to be very similar. The attention to detail is there. The quality is there. Top notch car in every aspect. I just don't like the style. Too street roddish for my tastes is the best way to sum it up.

We have done a full chassis for the Gen 1 that does not require cutting your entire floor out of the car. The 4" (or less) ride height is still acheiveable. Take a look at our '70 Chevelle that has a 4" ride height and is completely street and track driveable.

Here is the '67 on our full chassis. This owner wanted a higher ride height, more like stock, so this one will be sitting at about 5.5" with engine and full weight of the car. This car is tucking 345/30R20's under the rear which is a 28.5" tall tire as well. The car can easily go lower with simple suspension adjustments.
This car has a good amount of modification, not anywhere near as drastic as you are looking to do though.

Someone referred to this car earlier - I think they said Australia, but his signature says New Zealand.

It looks super low and is on an AME Max G.

Here is the thread on Pro-touring. I couldn't find a thread on it on Lateral-G.

Rodger - I'm sure whatever you and your gang come up with, it'll be BADASS.

Sounds like a cool project Rodger!

The black one was on air ride and a 29" tall rear tire. Rodger with a full frame you can put the motor up in the car high enough to clear the pan. That's the problem with the front sub on a camaro it doesn't let you put the front as low as the rear. In the bottom pic the car was 3.5" in the front and 4" in the rear, but the rear could go another 1" lower.

That's what I'm talking about

what are the specs on wheel/tire combo?

This car is very nice. Never been a big fan of the grille though.

Killer thread and correct me if I'm wrong but I think the idea is to develop a chassis that allows the car to run at 4" rocker and frame height. The yellow car has rocker extensions but doesn't look right since the fenders haven't been modified. You can modify tubs for air ride but that won't allow you to drive it safely lowered.
