Incredible! How big of a front tire can you fit under the fenderwell? I like the custom accessory drive brackets and spacers also.

Seen it over at the "other" forums. Probably my favorite first gen Camaro ever! Keep pushing the envelope and trying new things! That rear wheel tuck is impressive.

The craftmanship on this is just insane!!! How many man hours are in the build so far? I don't recognize the suspension, who makes it?
