Default 'FUSED' 1968 Camaro by Roadster Shop

Introducing a new thread for a build we have been chipping a way at for a few months now.

The customer brought us a somewhat decent starting point for the planned build using a Wegner LS7 pushing around 650HP mated to a T56 and utilizing our FAST TRACK IRS chassis.
The plan would be a clean, stylish '68 picking up some contemporary design cues from European coupes without losing the distinct flavor of the 1st gen Camaro in a pro-touring package: hence the name 'Fused'.



The starting point:







Chassis in place right away.



Rear tub and trunk floor fab - not all of this is necessary with the chassis install, but with the plan for the car (ie, not needing to be original) and time frame, this was simply quicker.





Trick fuel fill location and truck latch combo:









Smoothing out firewall:

I cant wait to see this one come together. Love the rendering. I can already tell this will be one of my favorites.

Man, that is a nice shop too. Looking at the "GoPro" 2nd gen, i was looking in the backround, really admiring the shop. I hope to have a glass shop (well my own building) this nice one day....

Killer rendering Chris! Enjoy all the little details and touches you guys put on your cars. It's the simple little things can make a big difference. In this case the fuel filler & trunk latch. Slick idea. Look forward to seeing this one unfold.

I like the gas filler/trunk latch. The rendering looks great. Tons of mods, but in a very subtle/clean way.
