Shorty's 51

Coming in the morning....

51, 350/350/12 Bolt, Camaro front sub

With extra parts. Gonna add the corner windows...
have the roof and windows, and want a 5 window, so I'm gonna splice em in....
no chop on this one since I'm 6'7" and it's gonna be a daily driver.

Body mods to be done:

Frenched headlights
Move cab back about 3"
(And likely extend the firewall and floor forward that 3" to gain my legroom)
Chop box shorter and move forward about 9"
Move box up as high as needed for proper look/feel
Extend bed sides as low as stock position
re-mount fenders in stock position
work back end with roll pan and finesse the bottoms of support rails
(Corner windows eventually, not shown here)

So here is a rough rendering of the basic stance and body alignment goal:

I might have the box a wee bit high in the rendering...


Before and after (Real before, photoshopped after):
