Wow - this car is a throwback - not sure why I remember it being DGGM.
That's cool that you have kept it, I ended up getting rid of my Z26 project when I moved 1000 miles southeast.
Keep up the progress - the rear subframe fabrication, and the body swap a really cool.
While I cant call your project pro-touring - but its not far from it. There are a lot of guys doing similar swaps with the firewall/drivetrain/floorpan into first and second gen Fbodies - just with different bodies. So its pretty awesome seeing you do this to a Beretta.
You going to have any hood clearance issues? If so just cut a whole open and put a 6-71 on it!

Looking good my man. Can you get a pic of the Camaro floor where the ebrake cable goes through the tunnel?

Thanks! Is there any way I can get a look at the sheet metal hole the rubber grommet goes in to? I have the ebrake and that grommet on the cable, but I need to replicate the same hole in the sheet metal for a clean install.

Are you going to reinforce the front to back at all with some cross bracing?

@ bonecrusher......i wasn't planning on any front to back reinforcements.......i am leaving the inner and outer rocker .....only cutting out the floor pan where it turns into one sheet .......... the rocker should be enough front to back rigidity with the door braces holding the side to side while im doing the transplant.........
...It definitely wouldn't hurt to add extra braces might think about making another trip to the metal store...............
