2 questions what is your backspace and is your rear end narrowed

[@kylewaynebooker25]

I bought the car with the Currie rearend in it. It appeared to be a stock replacement 9in. It’s now sitting on coil overs. The tire is a 275 radial pro on a 15x10 5.5bs

[@ernestdubose25]

I notched my frame the same way but I had my rear end narrowed and now I have the wrong back spced wheels

@@kylewaynebooker25 thanks sir love this stuff

[@ernestdubose25]

What seat brackets do you have

[@kylewaynebooker25]

I believe I bought them from G body parts. They are built to mount to the factory buck set brackets. I can’t seem to get on their website to verify.

[@buddysavage6377]

What is the part number on those headers?

[@kylewaynebooker25]

I believe their are second gen Camaro Hooker Headers. One tube on the passenger side has to be moved I believe. They were sold to me like that with the car.

[@ernestdubose25]

How did you mount your front bumper

[@kylewaynebooker25]

The sides are mounted to the edge of the front fenders where the factory fillers mount to. And used some square tubing and built a brace for the center off the front bumper horns.

[@ernestdubose25]

Thanks man just bought some featherlite composite bumpers and any help I get I appreciate it

[@oscarsaucedo5446]

Ok ok, u twisted my arm . Y'all can work on mine nxt !..

[@rod2coo1]

Who knows what type of headers those are ?

[@kylewaynebooker25]

They are 2nd gen Camaro headers that were modified to fit.

[@rod2coo1]

@@kylewaynebooker25 when you say modified you mean dented a little bit ?

[@kylewaynebooker25]

No there is a tube that needs moved. These headers came with the car so I didn’t modify them.

[@zelly1327]

What kinda powa it make what the numbers ?

[@kylewaynebooker25]

I’m not sure, it has never been dyno’d. But we are guessing around 650 on motor.

[@zelly1327]

@@kylewaynebooker25 well it looks and sounds good nice build👍🏾

[@kylewaynebooker25]

Thanks!

[@luckyace9095]

Why wouldn't you just make extended flares for the tires to fit? Instead you chose to cut the frame, and create a weak point, to put any serious hp and torque to that car wouldn't be safe.

[@seabcopeland2228]

Maybe you missed the brace to add more strength too an already flemzy G body everyone notches G bodies an then add braces even with ugly flares you still have too brace a G body
