Looks great. Did you do all the fabrication or a shop?
Is the Ice box for a turbo setup? or beer? lol

I wish I could get a look at all that fabrication in person. Do you happen to be in the DFW area?

This is a 12in rim with a 325x50x15 stock tank and rear t-top cubby. You typically have to have a wishbone but you can cut off the panhard mount and move it toward the driverside more. If I can find the pics I will post them of the panhard relocation. I still need plastic and carpet installed.

Way we did mine there's no way you could keep the phb, or the shocks in the stock location.

To give you an idea where my car was cut inwards to, the stock shock mounting bolt holes, are gone. The cut lined up parallel with the inner most point of those holes.

I have a 14.5'inch wide section width tire on my car and there over an inch everywhere width wise. Mi have a 5.5'inch backspace wheel and we took ).5 inches off the rear per side. My 12 bolt, after the bracing and everything said and done weight wise is lighter than a stock 10 bolt, I know I can pick the whole rear end up easier than I can a 10 bolt, brakes on both fwiw.

Yeah with a drag setup I can see that.

With the 19x12 Corvette wheels there is a lot more space to fit stuff inside the wheel

Bad ***
It looks like the rear coil overs have a slight angle to them. Does that affect anything?

No not really, G bodies if you saw the angle that the shocks are on those from the factory they have way more, and people put coil overs on them.

If you have an angular change over the course of the suspension travel it will change the rate of the spring, but in this case that's not going to be an issue/happen really.
