A long time back a friend of mine (smart dude, Cornell MechE M.Eng) toyed with the idea of building an IRS for a Camaro. I thought "Woo, that would be bad ass". And then life got in the way - we had a Mark VIII IRS, a back half on a jig, a ton of suspension calculations, some decent camber curves... and I graduated Cornell and moved to California, and Rob moved to Boston.

Rob still has the back half of the Camaro. I think his dad is planning on taking the IRS, but that could probably be talked about if anyone wants it. The back half is saw-zalled, so don't expect it to be pretty - and there's no fuel tank - but it's functional enough for anyone who wants to mock things up.

Anyone interested? It'd actually probably serve best as the base for a wicked Camaro couch.

As cool as it would be I doubt it would fit in through my door, plus I bet it'd be a bitch getting it upstasirs.

BTW you might want to mention where it's located..

That was my first guess, but I figured I'd be wrong somehow....... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Did somebody call me? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I figure if I can't get it into my apartment, I can get it on the balcony as "lawn furniture"... hehehe.

You probably have a hatch to fit it in your garage already.....

I'd like to see a picture of this thing! I don't really have any interest, just moreso fascinated by the idea of having the back half of a Camaro in my room as a couch (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Fourth pic on this page is the money shot...

Yeah, it's probably not what you expected, but I think it would still make a cool couch (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That's awesome! Just clean it up a bit and find a few random body panels, and that thing would be kickin'!
