Can I ask what your plans for the car are? I know you stated in your other post, that you wanted to use it to play at Homestead, but were you talking able HPDE days, or actually racing it?
If you intend to race it, especially in vintage events, you better check the rules for the various groups, before making to many changes. With most vintage groups, changes like rear spoilers and big flares, can bump you up into faster race groups, where you may find it hard to be competitive. Generally, most vintage groups require cars built before 1973, to conform to the 1972 SCCA General Competition Rules. The 72 GCR prohibits large flares, most aerodynamic aids, wheels wider than 8", etc.
The modifications your talking about, could cause you to be moved up to a class, where you will be racing with 70's full frame Greenwood type cars, as well as 80's & 90's tube frame racers.
Check out the rules for SVRA, HSR, SCCA, etc., to make sure you'll still be able to legally campaign your car, was you've made the changes your contemplating.
Good luck with your project, and keep us posted about your progress.

Love the 67 Vette. Be sure to post some race dates at Homestead. I would love to see it run.

personally I would not do a thing to it. it looks sinister. super nice job. the only thing your car needs is a set of 3 inch black side pipes and an entrance fee paid at a local road track. I would kill to put a few miles on that car. nicely done. ARA
