I finally finished building my son a Turbo Buick and now I can concentrate on my Camaro.The Chassis shop has made alot of progress including installing the new Ultralink rear suspension,tied the cage into the front chassis,installed window net,fuel cell and wheelie bars.I ordered a new Flaming River column from Summit.Update pics below:

I plan on the car seeing as much use on the track as on the street.I have some pics of the rear prior to the wheelie bar install.

The idea of the Ultralink rear suspension is that it will plant the rear tires evenly and eliminate any suspension bind.

Wow!, ...that's a LOT of fabrication work, looks incredible :thumbsup:
...just curious, ...'Beekman,NY', ...you're located near Fishkill then...?
If that's the same Beekman, ...I'm just across the river (Pine Bush) ;)
(...and not too far from RickD who posted above me :)
