    Engine install 1996 lt1 from a 1998 Camero. The original motor was an inline 8 so the engine bay is long. Harmonic balancer is over the crossmember so the motor is slid back. I still have 6 inches of clearance from the firewall.

    Tail drager I laid epoxy primer over the surface and am ready for body work. The skirts are 37-39 Chevy they fit perfect even though I added 2 1/2" inches to the bottom of the fender.

    Tail drager Finished up on both sides next the front of the fenders had rot. I cut them out and next week make new pieces. I think I will go with the stock style of skirts. If I find originals I would like to modify and lengthen or make a set.

    Tail drager Thanks for the advice Sam. That's what I am thinking. I am going to make my own skirts. Here is what I finished today. I just want my tail to drag and the stock tail is to high. I'm loving it. Good to be different. I have got more time on my tail than the top. Cheers Sam and happy...

    Tail drager I really am not liking the look of the side of the fender. The front is a lot lower than the rear of the wheel opening.
