This post is for those who know what materials that are needed in order to tub a 67' camaro.
I was wondering if you could tell me what materials are needed to do it.
The few items that I do have are:
8 point roll cage
15x15 prostars wheels
9" rear with axles and center section
if someone could tell me the rest I would appreciate it.
Now I know you need ladders bars, fuel cell, and frame rails, coil overs but I know there are more

If you are thinking of doing it yourself, I suggest buying the Art Morrison how-to video. It's really good IMO and points out everything you need to know.

A written/drawn plan. An idea of what you would like on paper, so, as you imagine it in front of you, it comes to shape.
This way, if you think of a change, a way to make/do something better/make easier access, you can erase and change it before it goes into production.
The last item on the list would be a thrust-angle alignment.

You need to know how tall a tire you want to run. A 33" or 31". You will have to stretch the quarter panels 5" for the 33" tire and 3" for the 31" tire. They also make fiberglas panels for the stretched wheelwells or use patch panels to stretch them. I used the patch panels on mine with a 33" tire. You are better off getting the Art Morrison video like Wildbillyt said. I used there roll bar / back frame kit / ladder bar kit with poly bushings. Are you going to use ladders bar or four link, Panhard bar or track link bar. Get the video and talk to installers first. A panhard bar limits running your exhaust over the rearend and track bar limits the exhaust under the rearend. That also depends on how you run your exhaust . I run a panhard bar with 3" exhaust under the rearend and out the back on the car. I had kickdowns under the car but the noise was killing me. It is a lot nicer out the back.

Why do u need to stretch the quarters panels if the person cuts the rear right the tires should be on the inside.

I am not talking about the narrow rearend but where the tires fit in the opening of the quarter panel. Take a look at the car from the rear of the car. You will see the quarter panels curve towards the inside of the car and the tires stick out past the bottom of the quarter panels. If you measure the opening on the quarter panels they measure 31". If you use a 31" tall tire it will barely fit in the opening and when the car travels up and down you will cut the tires and ruin the quarters and paint. You need at least a 1" to 1-1/2" clearance between the tires and the quarter panels. Look at the clearance that a stock car has and they run about a 26" to 28" tall tire.
