Rear end, floater and brakes all set for mock up. Set the rear end up for 1/2" of a spacer to bring the rear tires out to the same width as the front. I know that it would be better to have the option to adjust the front with spacers as well but this would necessitate flaring the front fenders out so far that I think they would look goofy. If I had a redo, I might tighten up the wheel/brake clearances, I think there is 3/8" of extra clearance in my setup. If you wanted to build in some adjustment in the front, it's possible!!

All of the Baer Floater components look awesome. Went together perfectly.

Kind of feels like a milestone putting it on the ground, standing on it's own.

Thanks Steve, was a pleasure spending time with you and Janie. Speaking of sweet rides, your Camaro is awesome!! Congrats on taking home the trophy at our car show!!

Been a little low on the production this month, don't you hate it when silly things like work and staining the fence get in the way the important stuff!! Working on the front flares and ordered a set of rear fender skins so I can get started on the rears.

Looking good... and familiar.

I am still picking out black boogers from my flare process.

First flare metal work at 95%, a touch more hammer/dolly/shrink work to be done...might enlist some help from a sheet metal voodoo expert to get me closer here but right now 1/16" of filler would get me smoooooth! I think an expert could get me closer. Truth be told, I was impatient more than once while welding this up, and put to much heat into a couple areas. Totally fixable, just angry that I added work to my plate.
