tires are 335/30/19 in the rear. could do a 345 with the Speedtech torque arm though!

Here is our latest piece, it was thought of after paint, otherwise we would have made a pocket and radius reveal for it like the tail lights have from the factory....it will have to do.

The center of the rectangular piece and the dish in the cap will be media blasted for texture and colored a grey like the surrounds of the Marquez tail lights (which the border and chamfer match) and the radial bolt pattern will have cap screws like the Ring Bros. door handles. Also, its not polished yet, we JUST finished it today and wanted to see what it looked like!

We are just about to send the Camaro for some interior work. Been doing some finishing stuff, got the mirrors on today. They are Sunspecs

We are using Marquez door panels. To make them work with the dash, we are making fiberglass pockets in the fronts. Its tough to explain, but the center pocket will be ended after the dash, so it doesnt colide with it, and the arm rest will flow down out of the dash.

In the rear, the panels are split around the roll bar and will have a double stitch seam there to match the rest of the upholstery.

That is one serious '69.

Has this been one of your more challenging builds?

This is the most challenging as a whole, its our biggest build for sure (as we are just reaching our 2 year old mark as a shop)

But not our most technical project, or most complicated...... some of our chassis builds have had more head scratching!! Just more math and computer work on some others. As it is a Camaro, sometimes its harder to work on 40 plymouths or mustangs etc as parts are not as readily available

Ok how about a little update/teaser? We are having the recaros done in custom leather, and the car is out for the convertible top install right now......

What do you think of the logo in the seats???? Its not huge, just subtle.
