You using a TA tail on your car? Maybe it looks like one from the angle the pic is taken. Car looks great tho. As for the front Fat Man fabrications makes front A-Arms that are wider or narrower by 2 inches. I think Hiedts does to. I personally like the short tail that only goes on the trunk lid for the early 70s models and the larger for the rest. maybe put on a 4th gen rear set up for leaf springs so you can get the extra width and use the TQ arm as a hidden traction device.

4th gen rear set-up? I am using BRP's shock relocation kit and doing the Vette brake swap, later im gonna get some different A-arms but thats down the road. Also down the road Im gonna buy those Carger Soft 8 wheels for the strip, since they are the only cheap 17 inch wheels I like

that would be awsome. Some black wheels like that for the strip is sinister looking. Like PHR magazine bomber camaro on flat black wheels. I thought about using a 4th gen TQarm setup for mine instead of ladder bars. It can be made to fit in the trans tunnel and should not bind the suspension. Ive thought about how LG made his with a hiem joint so it can move on the street and work at the track. In theory it sounds good to me.

I was just wondering. I liked my SS front and I kept the long bumper. That RS nose is heavier. Plus I've seen problem where the urethane part sags in areas or discolors. I do like the round turn signals the RS has though.

I agree. It's whatever you like though since it is your car.

Will be a good looking car although the rims are not my taste. I don't like low pro at all, personal taste.

I currently love my cragers, not seen in my old sig.
