Re: Project Slo-Go 67

Mahanian,

We just removed the rear springs and trailing arms when we removed the rear end, because i was going to scrap the lwb frame, so we removed all parts and left a bare frame . you can order replacement axles to make the '67 a 5-lug, but since we had the '72 rear end we installed it as well. we did the entire front swap, because the 72 was complete, and with the engine out of the '67 we were able to remove 14 bolts on both of them and roll the front xmember out from under it. We then tore down the '72 front suspension for paint, and rebuilt the suspension. I ordered '72 2 1/2 drop spindles from ECE, along with 4' drop springs for the back.

Good luck with your build. if you have any questions, let me know and i will do my best to help you out.

Thanks for the comments.

Heath

Charcoal Grey would look good, was thinking about that for mine. But im going to go with hugger orange. You need to check that new drark gray on the new camaro, theres one around town, it looks awsome.
