First came the frame & suspension restoration. I cleaned the frame up and sprayed it with POR15 and then truck bed liner.
The rear end is from a GSL-SE. I cut off all the 4 link brackets and welded on leaf spring pads. The rear leaf springs were sent to a drive line shop and de-arched 2". New rear leaf spring bushings were installed. All new bushings and ball joints were used to rebuild the front suspension.
Front shocks are bilstein for a camaro. Springs are 525# with a 2" drop. Front brakes have been converted to TurboII calipers and rotors. Rear brakes will be stock GSL-SE.

Sorry to dig up the past, but do you have any more info in the brake swap in the front?
