Yes, the current set of tires does touch the frame at full stop. That is just one of the many outstanding issues I will have to address before this car is done. I am beginning to come to grips with the fact that I will probably need to get different tires and rims. These are 16x8 and pretty tall. The original Camaro rims were likely 15x7 and not quite so tall. I will cross this bridge when I get there.

As for the brake lines, I did consider running them on the inside along the X-member but that posed a lot more headaches than I felt it was worth. (Passing lines in and out of the frame, etc) While I am worried about heating up the brake lines, I am more worried about boiling the fluid in the master cylinder itself. I may be worrying too much. I have a few friends who can't imagine a hot rod without dual exhaust, but for the "family hot rod" I am okay with having just a single pipe.

By the way, I am hoping to order a muffler and a box full of bends tomorrow.
