I am planning on installing new floors and the shock towers in my 67 camaro. I would like any helpful tips. Thanks!

Been there done that. And let start by saying that a place in Indiana called 'American Designers' makes the best shock towers. How are the inner wheel houses?

The inner wheelhouses seem to be ok except where the shock mounts. The rear quarters will be replaced and I was wondering if it would be better to cut wheelhouses out to get to shock tower.

Ragtopman,
Do you have a phone number for American Designers, I cant seem to find them on the web. I could also use a set of towers. Thanks!

Old Blue,
Its alot of work changing the wheel houses, and to change the shock towers, you will make a mess of the wheel house in the area that the wheel house and shock tower are all welded together from cutting the spot welds so as to remove the shock tower. If your changing the 1/4s, what about the outer wheel houses, how are they? If your changing them also, and you feel that it would be nice to just have it all done at once, change out the inners. American Designers also makes real nice wheel houses.
