Tubbing / Back Halving Info, Wanted

I'm looking for pictures of tubbing out a 3RD Gen. I saw some a while back but after hours of searching I can't seem to find them.
Also, I would like the name of the various suppliers that manufacture & sell the frame rail/4 link or ladder bar set-ups.

Thanks for the help!!!

Bruce (70GTO)

I'm positive that a year or two ago I saw pictures on a post or links to a site that had photos of a red 3rd gen being tubbed out from beginning to end, but after searching & searching I've come up empty handed. S&W makes a back half kit that is designed for 82-92 3rd gens & it looks pretty good, but it seems like there was another " not alston or morrison" that also made one, but I haven't ran across it yet.
As far as pictures go, just be patient, because this winter my ol 89 Iroc is a gonna gain some space in the rear end section & I'll try to keep the process on film

I *HAVE FOR SALE* Their Deluxe 4-Link Frame, with the QA1 shocks, chrome moly rod ends, track locator bar, 15x15" Centerline Convo Pro's with 33x18.5" Hoosier QuickTime Pro's, everything is brand new and un-used except the tires which have about 80% tread left.

I changed my mind about back halfing my Camaro, this stuff is all for a 3rd gen. For pics and info go here:

www.camaroworld.com/nitromethane/forsale.htm

I'll take $2000 for the whole lot if you want it, I'm in Orlando FL, you're responsible for truck freight costs unless you can pick it up. I also have a front motor plate from S&W if you're gonna go with motor plates.

Here's a link to a back-half job from start to finish on a 4th Gen Camaro done by professional Super Stock chassis builder Mike Pustelny:

No kit job here. Most everything is custom made and fitted.
While it's not a 3rd Gen, the chassis' are very similar, except for the front steering and suspension.
