Default Project Darkness - 1969 Camaro *PICS*

Hey guys!

New to the forum so I figured I'd post up some pics of a project we have in the works right now.

Its called project Darkness because the car (and everything in it) will be black or a variation of black (satin black, flat black, semi gloss black you get the point)

Not really too much to look at right now, but it gives you a pretty good idea of what's to come.
The rear rims are 20" x 14" wide with a massive Mickey Thompson street radial on them. Massive lip on them, I could probably curl up inside one of these rims haha.











The chassis itself is going to be rediculous...cant explain, I'll just post pics as we go along.

Rear part of the chassis in place



Mock block in place




Setting the drivetrain back 7" for better weight distribution



Picked up the T56 today, even its black. The bellhousing will probably get painted too

We are trying to get 50/50 weight distribution for perfect handling. Soon we'll be bringing out the corner scales to weight the chassis to see what we need to do to get the suspention setup properly.

Once the car is off the chassis table and on its wheels, the roof line will measures 46in from the ground!
