Sorry guys i havent been on in a long time. Body wise the car is ready to go. Just needs paint. I just ordered this subframe yesterday. unfortunately this took a huge chuck of change and progress will be going much slower now. Not to mention my wife told me 3 weeks ago we are expecting out first child.

another thing i just bought was my tank


new camaro fuel pump, notched corners, and good for plenty of HP

Will post pictures whenever i get all of my goodies instead of internet pictures. THank you matt at MCB.

Im going to have to hold off for awhile buying any major parts since i just spent alot and we have a child on the way. I plan on bringing the car back to my house so i can work on it myself. Major body work is done. My question is we still have to prime it, paint it and assemble and i need progress to go much slower now so i can save money. At what point sould i have my builder get the car too so that i can start putting parts on whenever i have extra time and money? Should i have him just prime it, paint underneath and the firewall, or what? I dont really want him painting the door jams or the firewall until i completely put the car together so that i know for sure that everything that i want to add is done and fits. I dont want any cutting on any areas already painted.

Im just looking for some overall advice.

I have 19s and with my car super low the tire rubs. 20s would definitely rub

Check page 14 or 15 of my project thread and you can see how my 19" wheel is barely fitting. The car has to be raised to be driven.

If I had to do it again I would do 18 since I like my car LOW

Yup i want my car real low too. The lowest i can get it. The rear is going to be 18x12 and i know i can fit a 18x10 in the front but im wondering if that would be the best setup for my car. Either a 18x10 with 275/35/18 or 18x9 with 255/40/18

I did a 9 in the front so it would tuck. I don't have my fender on yet so I couldn't tell ya how much clearance I have.
