Default turn coat

I have started the transformation of my camaro to a pro touring. I have actually started to think that cars look cooler with the low profile tire. I have added 17's, a rack and pinion, drop springs and soon will have a swivel link rear end(if I can figure how to open this damn ATM machine). I always loved my camaro, but since I lowered it, it has been an enjoy to drive. I can actually speed up on the off ramps! I am planning to put a five speed into it in the winter(you all know that two week period here in Texas when it gets into the 40's)! I ony wished I stared this during the resoration! Would have saved me a bout 10 grand, but hey, it is either eat and drink beer or work on my car and drink beer! I'll take the later any day.

While there's no doubt a restored car is beautiful and they have there place, for driving, some modernization goes a long long way!

Yes it is on my stock frame. I have the uni steer system. I love it. I chose the manual rack but now wish I had power, but it was still worth the 800 bucks. It took a few hours to install, mostly because the instructions were not quite correct and I run big tube headers and tall engine mounts.
