Hot damn....that looks sick!
Is that stance the lowest it can go?
BTW, Jeff and Chris, I have the outline of the Baer Rear brake bracket. I will scan in it and send it you guys.
My car is almost done...!

i saw leave the handels, and all that ****, just loose the big tale pipe hagin out the back... i say cut into the rocker panels and make side exsaust :rockon:
think about what your saying....4" exhaust we are talking about here. it goes where it can go...anywhere else and i'd be 5" higher.
tommy, look above at my other posts...it could go lower technically. it can go lower then in the picture but not much. if you look closely underneath you'll see the shadow of the lt's and collectors in 4" that are just inches off the ground. i'm considering going back to 3" although i'll loose power i'll gain at least 4" lower which might be worth it. if you could please send me a copy of that bracket, i really want to adapt the eradispeeds to the rear!

I like your car Kandy and I wouldn't shave the handles, its looks great with them. I thought someone did make a fiberglass stock hood?
On a side note, I found this kinda funny:
So whats with the SS hood then huh? Bought a 91 so it can look like a 96+.

i will not shave the side molding as that's what separates the model years and i did not purchase a 91 to make it look like a 84

as far as the SS comment....this is true, however if that was the case people who own 4thgen ss camaros are picking up models that have spoilers based off of the 91-92 z28 design so it's slightly different, that and i get paid to have that hood on my car. if someone wants to pay me to do the other mods that i wouldn't normally do i'm all for it.
after studiyng these picures i am sure that we both are in need of larger rims. Too bad, boyd hot rods are not avaiable in the size i want for a realistic price. I asked them for a set of 9x20 and 11x20 hot rods. They said it's a 1000$ extra. Each wheel,, of course.........
really....my boze are that much but i can pick up the boyds in 20's for under $3,000. the tires are what would kill me and i can't see myself doing it.
to be honest i wouldn't mind having 19's but 20's would be to large, 19's are even to large but i would like them slightly larger. roads are just terrible in my area as i can hardly drive the car with 18's so it isn't an option unfortunately but i definately understand you. if the car was a trailer queen definately.

yes you are lucky and no you could not drive your car and keep it nice where i live....between construction and all the broken concrete with potholes and what not as well as roads that are falling apart from salt use during the winter you would need to change things and if you didn't you would definately do some damage. 20's would be possible but you would have to map out your routes which i have to do now just to get to certain places.

hey Kandied...
if you REALLY wanted a fiberglass hood, and you wanted the blisters, you could just get a fiberglass RS hood, and then get the fiberglass "add on" blisters.... they look identical to the regular blisters, but they are made to go on the RS hood.
then you have a complete fiberglass Z28 blistered hood...
the way you kept saying IROC hood, i thought you wanted the louvers.....

yeah but they don't look the same, i want the recessed iroc/z28 hood style so they sit in like they should. if i'm going to spend all of that money to look stock i want it to really look stock.
thanks for the suggestion though...

personally, i think it looks awesome, and moreso BECAUSE it has a top. i like it better without the stock hood as i have never been a "blister" fan...they just look WAY to fake and tacked on IMHO...
