Wow! Serious talent right there!

Great project and looks like good progress so far. Mine is about the same level as yours. Good luck and look forward to seeing more pics throughout the build!

Justin@EntropyRad 03-26-2015 07:30 AM

Those door cuts
 
That looked crazy with the patches..but you made it look seamless afterwards..nice work!

Wow! Great over the top build! When you get it on the road be careful of those Nittos the Invos aren't the stickiest tire in the world....your build deserves some Falkens, BFG Rivals or even the Michelin Pilot Super Sports are all equal to the level of your build. My Vette racer buddies really like the LG coil overs over the Pfadts better adjustability/response but your level might find JRI shocks appropriate.

Gotta agree with the others pretty amazing build.

windycitychev 03-27-2015 06:08 AM

This is one awesome project with some sweet skills

waynieZ 08-24-2016 11:51 PM

Work got in the way. Making slow progress, but hoping to pick up the pace now.

Amazing fab skills. It's looking killer.

Ron in SoCal 08-26-2016 02:28 PM

Incredible dude. Thx for the update :thumbsup:

frankv11 08-26-2016 11:52 PM

Way over the top. That thing is insane.
So how much of the original Camaro were you able to save lol

gnx7 08-28-2016 11:30 AM

Just stumbled upon this build thread! You are killing it for sure..... :bigun2:

Noticed the FD RX-7 parked on the street. Is that yours?

What rear brake setup are you going to go with?

Cheers!

simon455 08-28-2016 12:50 PM

Awesome Job, looking at it, Makes me wanna convert my ladder bar firebird into killer pro touring machine

The only surviving parts were the A pillars. I thought a lot more of it would be usable but as most here know things change as you get into a build.

Superlites for the rear brakes. Something I worked with Ron Sutton on.
The FD was mine, I really liked that car. :(
Trying to get this thing ready for paint so not much exciting to show right now.

Had the week off so tried to make some progress. Body is not 100% yet but I really needed to get some parts on this car and out of every room of the house. Painted the underside and Raptor lined the fender wells and center tunnel.

Amazing job! It's hard to believe it is made up of so many different panels if you didn't see it all apart. Beautiful work.

spode 12-18-2016 09:25 PM

Finally getting some parts on this thing. :)
Back to work this week but trying to keep the ball rolling.

Weight check. Still missing a lot of stuff but looks reasonable so far.

Awesome metal work , what you did with the rocker is awesome I love that body line, the fender vents are sweet too , the whole car is done nicely and not too over the top , some guys get too crazy with those mods and the end result is an ugly car , what you have done here is beautiful, very nice job.

The lines look fantastic

I just went thur the whole 11 pages of the build, I says to me self? The guy sure has ALL the mad arse skills to pull this build off ! Wow! I love it when someone can just dive in and cut ,modify, and put it all back together to make look perfect. I realize it's not easy ,but the creativity and execution is simply amazing ! Love it all ,and thanks for sharing 😎

FathomGreen69 12-23-2016 05:01 PM

Incredible work man. You've actually managed to improve the looks of maybe the most beautiful car on the road. Stunning craftsmanship on par with any of the big shops in the country. In your garage, no less! Kudos to you, can't wait for the next update.

syborg tt 12-30-2016 07:16 PM
