Spent a couple hours yesterday crawling around with a tape measure double, triple, and quadruple checking everything. I'm completely satisfied that the vette stuff is square in the first gen subframe. What I'm thinking my issue is that when I start trying to measure off the original sheet metal parts of the car things start to get a little funny. So, I'm thinking my 43 year old rusted, twisted, and fatigued sheet metal may not be the best or most reliable point to measure from lol. That and my other half pointing out how the drivers side factory frame mount to the body actually sits about a half inch further forward on the car. Guess the car was never really square anyhow. Couldn't imagine why lol. So, time to chop out the old subframe connectors (they need to go anyhow for the truck arms), shift the subframe back a half inch, and start mocking up the rear to make sure I'm square before I finish weld everything. More updates next week hopefully. Took the Camaro out for a beat run the other night and now I'm really itching to get my baby back together

Once it's back together I fully intend to drive the wheels off it and hit LOTS of shows/meets. Hell, if it's not raining I'll most likely daily it. I miss driving it. It was my daily for the first 8-9 years I owned it  Just finally got to the point where it sucked to use as a regular car. Hence all the changes. This should fix that

No, just been spending my time being broke lol.
Haven't actually touched it for about a month. Got a few bucks back in the bank though so it's time to get back to it this week. I'll update as soon as there's progress

Ok, been a while since I updated this one. No real progress, but, moved it from it's hole at home to the corner of our shop lol!
Here's how it sits now. So far I'm loving how it looks like the stance is going to work out. Looks evil in person. Getting delivered:  Bam!  Still liking the wheels:  Hanging out in the corner waiting patiently
