Welcome and sweet project! So tell us about the details... Is that a Wayne Due front? ATS or C5 spindles? Motor details... 
Also who is doing the TT set up and what turbos are you going to run?

The car has a Wayne Due front end with C5 suspension with adjustable coil overs. The car is at Wayne Due's right now cause he did all the chassis work.
I brought him a box of parts and a shell on a body cart and I will get back this Saturday a rolling stopping steering chassis.
Rear:
Its a Strange 9inch rear end with 3:55 gears. suspension is a quadra link from DSE http://www.detroitspeed.com/ its a fully articulation 4-link so ther is no bind up. good for both the 1/4 track and the road course.
Wheels:
18x9 in the frontwith 275/40/18
18x12 in the rear with 335/30/18
engine tranny:
LME low compression 402 twin turbo
M6
Turbos size still undecided. I will be building the headers and all the pluming and mounting of the turbos.
Body will be light silver with dark silver stripes.

i'm planning on building a 68 camaro with a KB supercharged LS1, highly modified stock front suspension, and either truck arm rear suspension or decoupled torque arm rear suspension....still on the fence about the rear.

The t56 will be a beefed up unit from the start not just a stock unit.

Welcome - great project, love the wheels. My car just went under the knife for the full body treatment so some of your pics look painfully familiar. Can't wait to see your car done! Where abouts back east are you originally from?
