Hi,everyone this is my first wip on here.I'm going to be building R-M's 1965 Chevelle SS396 Z-16.It's going to be a pro-touring style build.These are just mock-up pics.I plan to get it lower as I modify the front and rear wheelwells to clear the tires.

Lookz good Joe.Where'd you find the wheels?

I'm not too sure. I purchased them awhile back at a LLCMCC show(early 2000). I haven't seen the seller since.

Thanx fellas I appreciate the comments.This build so far has the most detail I've evr put in to a build.I got the upper and lower link bars finished this evening.

Here's the lower bars in place.

The upper bars are just set in place at the front as a mock-up pic so people can see how it will look.
