    Here's my 57 build. All accomplished in 7 months. Z-28 motor, 200r4 o/d, 75 camaro front clip, 12 bolt rear. Most everything new/replaced. I plan on registering it tomorrow. Just in time for summer cruising! Photos of build are here...

    Rear axle is 81 camaro, I believe. The rear springs/rear axle were installed by previous owner of frame. They are longer than stock, and the spring perches were reloacated. Should result in a smooth ride. I may wind up with clearance issues between rear tires and box. It is pretty tight there.
