Default 69 Aussie Camaro.

Hello all,this is Adrian and i am from Melbourne Australia.I have been lurking on this forum but this is my first post.
I have a 69 Camaro,that i wanted to make into a Foose/unique performance style Camaro.But i think it will be better.Its a long term project as funds are tight at the moment.Shell is in very good condition and with no rust at all.
We wanted to create the allusion that car is a lot lower than what it is.So we have extended the sills down,back of car and front of the car.Custom metal hood and unlike the Foose Camaro,there is nfiberglassss.All metal work
Some ideas i have are:
Art Morrison max g chassis
Gm 572 crate engine with polished trumpet twm fuel injection or
Ls9 supercharged crate engine
22 inch 315 rear,with 20 inch fronts(Not sure what wheels yet)
custom dash,with console front to back with bucket reColortundecided undcided-options lambo oraGreywith grey or Pearl whGreywith grey red
Here is a few photos of some work done so far

Nice metal work! With those front vents, maybe you should open up the rear gills?

Edit: I'm sure opinions abound around here on those wheel sizes...

Not sure about the rear vents,might be a little too much.
I do like the carbon/billet Ring brother gills(RAZOR).Don't think they sell them though

Wheel sizes - ideas at the moment.22s might be a little to big on Camaro as its not a big car.I will have to try it first before buying

Honestly that piece of 90° angle just don't look right on the hood at all and Firebird fender vents do not flow with Camaro quarter gills.

Yea I kinda agree, the horizontal vents up front just don't match the vertical quarter grills. Is the left hand steer a problem down under?
