Upgrades to the Camaro---Mini Tubs!!! On the road to SEMA the race car is coming along nicely. Just got the car back from MTK's Welding and Race Cars in Roselle, NJ. Let me just say they job they did was awesome!
They put in custom mini tubs and cut out alot of additional weight. I didnt do the mini tubs because of tire size, i did it cause they look cool
and knock some weight off.
Did mini tubs
Made custom gas filler neck
Fuel pump access door
Got rid of t top well
Got rid of spare tire well
Got ride of rear seat indents
Installed the Burkart Chute and put in the chute handle
And alot of small stuff i just didnt have time to do.
Can ya say 3000lbs race weight with driver
Check it out !!!!
Now its at Everlast Interiors to get a custom carpet, then its come back and we put the car back together and then its off to paint.
And yes the stickers are going back on the car.
Hope to get some passes in the middle of october. 8s here i come!

VERY nice Barry!!
Remember when we bought our cars brand new back in '98??
Pretty cool when a nice upgrade is done on the old sleds, especially one as significant as yours, 3000lb raceweight!! Awesome!!!!!!

Car's lookin' good Barry, MTK does really good work. 
All of you guys, Phil and his '99 T/A, Pete and his '98 Z28, Ralph and his '99 WS6 etc...but only a handful of that original 'LS1.com Eastern' crew still remain.

You (and even Alex for that matter) might be considered just a little too late to the game, 
some of the 'old schoolers' go back to late 1998/early 1999.
I ordered my Z28 in November 1999 and took delivery on January 2nd or 3rd of 2000.
