I agree with this, especially when you consider who owns it and who built it.

As always DSE did an oustanding job. Congrats and good luck at Columbus.

Reckley 07-09-2007 08:31 AM

Looks outstanding. Can't wait to see it. DSE just keeps getting better and better.

DCreations 07-09-2007 09:32 AM

The more I look at that orange on his camaro the more I like it. Very nice.

Hope to see it at DSE the week after Columbus. DSE :thumbsup: .

customcam 07-10-2007 02:34 PM

:hail: im speechless :faint:

steveo346 07-10-2007 02:47 PM


I BARELY noticed that is has the r/s and standard park lights i wonder how the hell they did that...i had always thought about but damn it looks sweet...to use the r/s ones as fogs perhaps and the bottm park lamps as they were indended as park lamps....very very nice camaro indeed:woot:

i would give my right testicle for that bad boy:bow:

wiedemab 07-10-2007 02:50 PM

Look at the build pics a little closer. I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread too. The lower lights are no longer lights. They are brake cooling ducts.

buickfunnycar.com 07-10-2007 03:02 PM

Car is SICK,SICK,SICK!

Singlehandedly brought the 2nd generation Camaro to the forefront...seemingly overnight.

Thanks Jr...now everyone's gonna want to do one!:_paranoid

XcYZ 07-10-2007 03:20 PM

I've been hinting at 2nd Gens for a few months now. ;) I knew that between the quality that DSE is known for coupled with one of the biggest names in sports would make for huge publicity.

Isn't it cool. :thumbsup:

Slammer 07-10-2007 03:20 PM

SICK! i love it, the olour suits it well. :yes:

MODO Innovations 07-10-2007 03:34 PM

This car is awesome.:faint:

DSE has done it again.:hail:

With that being said, that is one of the baddest ass dashes I have ever seen..........that car is SO clean it's insane............I love the interior mods and stereo integration into the car.

:hail:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..................gots me a few changes to make on the Regal now..........................

XcYZ 07-10-2007 07:22 PM

Is this start button out of a Viper? I'm pretty sure I've seen this (or something very similar) before, but not sure where. I've been thinking about doing something like that with my car.

http://www.detroitspeed.com/images/P...alejr-437L.jpg

zbugger 07-10-2007 07:34 PM

Looks like the start button off a Honda S2000. I kinda like the touch.

Stuart Adams 07-10-2007 07:36 PM

Only fitting having a Sony stereo system after he just signed a huge deal with Sony. Bad ass car for sure.

Scott, I like the engine start button also. The more you look the more ya like.

XcYZ 07-10-2007 07:39 PM

Allen, you're right, that is an S2000 start button. I'm liking it... much fancier than the temporary start button I'm using now.

L8ONBRAKE 07-10-2007 09:54 PM

Looking at that car makes me feel inadequate......

yellowrallys 07-10-2007 10:50 PM

How about those "no name" Fikse's? Gotta be careful with those endorsement deals. :unibrow:
Super slick car, built by the best in the business.

HotRod68Camaro 07-11-2007 06:48 AM

this car is officially my all time favorite build. :thumbsup: Makes me wish i hadnt passed up a 2nd gen i was looking at a few months ago.

Martin71RS 07-11-2007 11:03 AM

and just to show that great minds think alike:

Great car! Nice attention to detail. Everything from bigger tail lights to the combination of three different front end styles (but with out the extension). I have really liked a lot of their stuff, but this one is definetly up there.

OLDFLM72 07-12-2007 09:51 AM

Engine compartment paint?
 
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR!!!! But, why is the underhood light gray/silver? Is it a traditional "Trans Am" thing?
I think it would have looked better with a satin or semi-glass black (like Penny)... or match the stripe color... Am I the only one? Just one too many colors for me... but then again I probably have the biggest beater/driver/PT wannabe on the board so what do I know... JMHO ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR!!!! Wish I had the funds to have DSE do half of what they did to Jr's car to my 71 Formula...
V/R,
Ty

it's a NASCAR thing.... most all the cars engine compartments and undercarriages are that color. Why??? I don't know?!!

wiedemab 07-12-2007 10:04 AM

Maybe it's a cleanliness thing. You know - to find any leaks etc. I can see where if everything was a dark color it might be hard to see to work under the hood too.

I'm basically just making up reasons, so if anyone knows the real reason why a lot of race cars (NASCAR) are white under the hood please fill me in.

I just spoke with the powers that be at one particular race shop and asked why they use that color, here is what they told me... and I quote...

"We've used that color since the beginning of our inception. Why, I don't know. It's a PPG color called "Chassis Gray". We've used it when we raced at a previous shop and just carried it over when we started this deal. Maybe the car owner wanted it?? Don't really know..."

So there you have it in a nut shell... why do they use it? 'Cause they just always have.:unibrow:

You have the coolest job, Kevin. :woot:

68protouring454 07-12-2007 11:16 AM

to easily spot stress areas and cracks in welds and tube, it will show instantly in the grey, then compared to a dark color

Sweet camaro. I like the gas cap on the body.

Rodger

I think Jeff Gordon has got some nice Chevy muscle too. As far as Jr's car...it looks awesome. Can we get a test ride in it?

LL CUSTOM 07-14-2007 05:42 AM

I think it will have a very good shot at Columbus. Of the other's I have seen that will possibly make a showing [ the Ring brother's, Alloway ect.] I think it has the cleanest exacuetion. Not a lot of bling and extra dodad's. I like it very much. And hopefully it will be more about the car and not JR's PR group.
The car and the shop that built it deserve to be judged on their own merit:yes: :yes: you all have a great day :thumbsup: later Larry

I would have to say that this car was one of my favorite cars. Very well down and they even have a webiste that show's the complete build of the car.

There are plenty of over the top idea's in the car without all of the bling bling. Just look at the website and you can see all of the craftmanship that went into this project.

Heck this car made me go out and buy a 2nd gen Camaro yesterday.
