You will most likely have to cut the spare tire well to put that Camaro cradle in.

Yeah I know about the spare tire well. Wish mine was a 9c3. And less beat up. Yours looks good.

Everything is for sale for the right price! I have not had any time to work on this thing. Hopefully ready for spring at this rate.

I have a friend looking for a set of front fender liners for an 85 LTD LX. Would you happen to have any for sale or know of someone? Thanks.

What area are you in? Klinger's in Pine Grove, PA has a couple cars that could donate some parts. They are standard LTD's, but should have what you need. Plus it's a really cool salvage yard.

Sweet. What parts besides rotors and calipers are Camaro parts? What struts are those, and was any work necessary to make them fit? Are those spindles aluminum?

Everything on the front is gen v camaro with the exception of the inner tie rods that are gen IV. I got all my info from here.

Nice! Post a pic!

Bought a used complete active interchiller off a g8 facebook group. I want to get the turbos mounted this weekend and see what I need for cold side piping. Also see if I can find a spot for the air water intercooler. Oh, I also need to get some aluminum spacer/spring locators made for the front coilovers. If anyone has a metal lathe and wants to make some money, let me know!
