A few weeks later My dad and I took off the whole front end, to see the front suspension. When we removed the front end, it was in bad shape.

We were debating if we should invest money into the old front or just buy a modern suspension and graft it on the old.

This was the Last step before welding it for the final time...
Anyone about to do a front clip of a camaro, a little bit of advice..... Measure and measure lots and lots of times.

We then added a few half inch plates on the inside and outside of each frame rail, just so the front wouldnt go anywhere. We also added a few plates in the back, bonding the two frame rails together, the next few picture are examples of what we did.

Not the easier pictures to see, but I think you get the idea.

In the next picture I just wanted to show you the pictures of the car finally back on wheels. This was the night of the completion of the frame. We were both blown away at the stance of the car.
