Hey, I'm new to the site. I just purchased a 95' camaro last febuary for the low price of $2500. shortly after the buy (two weeks) the tranny failed, while away at work in march i paid a local shop $2500 to rebuild the entire transmission. after returning home in april i drove the car for a month & threw a rod so i purchased a used lt1 from a 95' impala with documented 79k on it for $1000. Now I'm looking to continue to upgrade the car seeing I've invested 8k+

P.S The car had 24" wheels on it at time of purchase, I've lost my interest in big rims and have now put OEM C6 wheels on it.

Hear are some pics

(With 24's)

No lift kit.... Just air shocks in the rear & spring spacers up front... at time of pic the air shocks still had a lot of air in them & i hadn't removed the spring spacers from the front....

Here is a few pics of it after i took the spring spacers out & let all of the air out of the air shocks.... full suspension in near future......







also new front bumper & both fenders very soon.... as soon as i get time off work to send it to paint.....

I'm thinking since it was cut in the back (not much) and I'm not going to spend the money to replace the quarter panels i have the room to run the CORVETTE C6 ZO6 GRAND SPORT 19X10 / 20X12 setup. I just need to know if the backspacing will work...
