If you just want to do the tubs, it isn't too bad with a reputable chassis shop, but the way the 2010 Camaro is designed, if you don't notch the frame rail in the front, you effectively would only gain about 1/2 - 3/4". Notching the frame gains you a full 2" or more. (Well with a little tweak of the rear subframe mounts too)..

You were right about one thing... You're gonna be breaking isht

Did you work around the stock tank, or are you running a fuel cell?

Everytime my bro welds for me, and flips the switch on the tig welder instead of the stick, I have the satisfaction of knowing his grandchildren will be well taken care of financially... But boy is it purdy!

Plastic double stock tank over the driveshaft just couldn't flow enough fuel - had to do some cells..

Dual fuel tanks. One 93, the other C-16. One tank A1000 pump, One tank C-16 with Eliminator pump. Octane on demand. Sneaky

That looks like the perfect trunk size for those short weekend trips... 1/4 mile at a time
