New guy zl1/68 pro touring

Hi all, just here for a quick intro. Building 68 pro touring Camaro, bought a hit 2013 zl1 for a drivetrain and other parts as donor vehicle. Usually more active on yellowbullet, ls1, corvette, Pontiac zone/ Pontiac performance years forums
Will hang out here for a bit during this new build and prbly after when already up and running, possibly sell off some stuff from the zl1 car.
Thanks

Simon

Did initial measuring and it's too wide for the first gen, I would luv to use the complete rear sub and even fabricate front end for a strut conversion, make everything work while I have a complete car.
It's been done with a Chevelle/Gto body tho!
Plus I already dropped for Chris Aliston 4 link and Ridetech/Speedtech front end stuff, bags prior getting the zl1

You would have first dibs if only the zl1 stuff was reasonably dueable

Will be defiantly reusing that set up with custom brackets

Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
