The Chevelle has 255/70/15s on the rear compared to the Camaro's 255/60/15s. Just for giggles, I bolted the Chevelle's wheels on the Camaro to see the rake. Raised it about 1.5 inches, roughly.
The picture with all 4 wheels being Cragars was an edit, of course. A couple of notes- one, the 'someday' goal is a little bit more rake than even this and either L60s or 275/60s (depending on whether or not I commit to bias plies) and to do that, it looks like I'll need new springs. Obviously, that can wait until after the engine is done. Two, speaking of the engine, fret not- I didn't run it to get the car out. I just pushed it. Lastly, you may notice Dad's new driveway. No, he will not let me 'break it in' with a burnout. I already asked. Lame. ![]()

Don't be the first guy to leak oil on Dad's new driveway. Trust me on that, experience talking.

Haha, no mechanical work will be done on it there. Sometime this year we're going to drag it to my place so I can pull the engine.
