Just think how cool you will look changing tires tho.

So I decided to head out to LA and take a nice scenic drive heading north to visit Rodger. (Talk about a distance to drive to no mans land let alone fly in from Wisconsin.) First, because I needed to see the car and the photos were not giving me the perspective I visioned. Second, we needed to really sit down and go over all of whats been happening and whats to to come. Not much to do in good ole Bakersfield but with all the projects going on there it kept me pretty occupied viewing everything. So we spend the morning going over everything and come up with a couple of last minute ideas that at the moment was reluctant on and then Rodger takes me to lunch and this is what I came back to! (Rodger been saying TRUST ME for the last couple of months but this is out of line LOL) Soon you will see why he did what he did.
There has been so many camaros over the years that have had every mod to mankind and you really need to spend the time and design a car that is different than most without effecting the overall 69 look. Rodger so far has come through with every aspect of the notes and photo ideas Ive been sending him. Ive had my share of restored and slightly modified cars over the years but I still never had that all out, out of the box build. Some will hate it and some will love it but in the long run its my car and my decision.

Maybe they will figure out what we did by the project name.

"EL CAMARO"

Since the car is in California...

It would have to be "EL Camaro Real"

Pronounced RE AL for you non-Best Coasters. LOL

pretty please - i think it would look cool

Becareful what you say because some body will believe you (EL Camaro only in Texas) their are about half a doz here.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

this is shaping up to be the baddest, most radical (but subtle), most engineered Camaro ever. I am glad to bear witness to this machine coming together & hope "nvr2fst" can keep this up cause it's gonna be SIC......
i like the mounts for the LCA's, waterjet brackets & clean a$$ tig welds classic Ironworks style.

There will be so many hours of TIG welding in this build - that a guy could start out a beginner and end up teaching TIG as a college course! :rofl:

Thanks Brian, it's pretty nice for a Camaro I suppose. :D

Maybe Truck of the Year, if we put a bed floor in the EL CAMARO....

Dave, you have got to be pumped. I love those fenders---that looks awesome--never thought a "flared" (if that's what the kids are calling it these days) fender belonged on these cars--yours looks right. Props to Rodger for being able to handle a drag radial car build in his past, and something like this. Geez, in Bakersfield of all places---well, let's face it, what else is there to do in Bakersfield anyways? :lol:

Looks so good man---now, let's talk about paint color here---cause I am not going to go back an read the entire thread again---talk to you soon
