So...get the new rear set up for this frame, I ordered the brackets for the radius arms and panhard bar from Spirit Industries (OEM for the frame) and got the welder back out..

NO NO NO NO NO HELL NO! The Camaro is safely tucked away under a cover in a storage shed in an undisclosed location

The Camaro got a completely different engine, trans, and rear end...so this is just the original stuff (drivetrain only has 78k on it)

But thanks, I think it's going to be pretty kick-ass. I need to edit the first post to include some other info....I don't want anyone else almost having a coronary! lol

Thanks man! I think I'll have even more pride and enjoyment out of this build than the Camaro. I love my car, but this lets me get much more creative with design and fabrication, not to mention TONS of room (There will be no hood on this car).

The car will look SOMETHING like this when it's done. This is a pic of a Tribute T from Speedway Motors (my preferred supplier for all these kick-ass parts stacking up in my house). It's a '23, but the body is essentially the same. The '27's lines are a bit more subtle around the cowl.

Phew... ok... but if it was what you chose to do, I still wouldve been able to appreciate it that much more... because you kept the Camaros heart alive. However I am glad to see another LTX car being added to your stable.... NOW....

figure out a class for it to run in the shootout!!!!

That's all for now. Lots more to come soon. TONS of parts lying around, but bodywork has to start first. I've got a big pile of parts that I've gotten back from the powdercoat shop, all done in wrinkle black. I'm also in the middle of a complete transformation on my 2002 Harley Night Train, some of those parts were lumped in with the T's parts.

Here's a pic of the wheels and rear fender all fabbed up and mounted up. Computer is in the stock location, stock seat fitted to the fender. The tank and fenders are in the paint shop now for a custom job...original Jade Green with a tribal flame job. The flames are a kandy gray (translucent) over swirly-grinded bare metal. It should look pretty kick-ass.
