Looks like you're having a lot of fun making your Camaro different, and I know it takes a lot of imagination and work to get it there. I think it looks great. But then again, I have two cars on the "Cheesiest" list, lol.

Since you went through all the trouble of shaving handles and liscense plate cutouts, go ahead and shave the antenna.

Considered molding in the kit?

Yeah a lot of you people don't like it, but on the other hand a lot of people do. There has been worse things done to Camaros in the past. I think this thing is awesome. He obviously putting in time and money into doing this so it's not some cheap *** throw together. Some people like speed, some people like show. So theres really no point in saying stupid things about how "rice" his car is...who cares. It's still a Camaro

You do realize it goes up and down, right? You have control over the ride height unlike regular springs.

Very nice work you got going on their. I think most who say they dont like it have snce changed their minds now that you posted pics of the car in a more finished state AND with the bags inflated somewhat. Grab your hand and pat yourself on the back. you did a great job.

Yeah now with the bags inflated it looks better, actually drivable. Of course once the rest of it is fully painted it'll look better.

I would personally loose the ground fx, at least the nose part, just doesn't seem to fit with the flow of the car (I think it would look better if it flowed backwards towards the wheels, not jutting out like most seem to do). But that is personal taste.

Are you driving it yet Kenny?

Got a question for you. Why didn't you use a sleeved bag in the back? They are supposed to ride softer which I thought these cars need.

BTW, I know your probably done with your rear axle, but I plan to use a Ford Thunderbird IRS in my car. You don't have to mod the trans tunnel or the gas tank to fit it. It's also easy to narrow and not that hard to fit (from all my measuring). Just thought I'd put that out there.

Here's a truck using the stock cradle and arms.
