[QUOTE="Blue Blitz, post: 10582750, member: 71949"] Yea hopefully it will turn out nice. Saw a car at TX Mile that did exactly what I was planning for the inside. 4th gen TA seats recovered in Houndstooth like the old style, and the headrest cut down to replicate the original. Turned out very nice. Looks like the old seats but with just more bolster to keep you planted in turns. Talked to DSE today about their narrowed rearend and the owner of the one I'm going to see. Pretty sure he said it's cut down 2 5/8" - 2 7/8" on each side which matches up with what DSE said is "most common" for narrowed 69 camaro axles they sell. This combination would result in a 54 3/4" rear axle (axle flange to axle flange) and allow for a 18"x12" rear wheel w/ 4 3/4" backspacing! My contact at HRE said this would allow for up to a 6" lip on a soft lip wheel! Long way away from ordering wheels just trying to make sure I dont get in a bind down the road. Brakes are being thought about also. It seems 2010 SS brakes are about as hard to fit as C6 Z06 brakes. 18s are going to be TOUGH to get on there, but the stepped lip should help. William [/QUOTE]
