      Hi, Jim. In this video, Cam Bentley does some baseline testing of a stock ’68 Chevrolet Camaro. This is an important first step, before making dramatic suspension and tire improvements, to determine their effectiveness. Check out the other parts of this series (www.classiccarrestorationclub.com/videos/chassis-work/page/2/<http://www.classiccarrestorationclub.com/videos/chassis-work/page/2/>) as Cam and the folks at Hotchkis Performance add some modern day drivability into this sweet ride.
