yea the rears will be custom 18x14 forge line wheels. i'm not sure but almost sure that this will be the lowest 69 camaro built to date. note the front subframe is a highly modified checkered racing subframe that is sectioned up into the body 2in for better ground clearance and in the end means it was bodydroped 2 in with to me and x minitruck is just badass

good swap going there.. but you might want to work on the Right rear section below the window.. looks to be a bit low as compared to the left side.. I'd get it fixed now before it gets too far along on trying to keep the rest of the car stright !.

Keep the posts coming..

Hey now, with a little welding and grinding, stock center bolt valve covers can look nice.





Great build, nice work so far!
