That car is kick ass:hail: Who did the interior? I like the use of the stock/modified gauge cluster and that engine bay is sick:thumbsup:

Bob was driving so slow he did not even require a helmet! Of course, they did not have one big enough anyway.....:rofl:

I know your back was in bad shape Alan, but damn, you could have called me......lol

Every time I see another creation from their shop it blows me away. I live less than an hour from the shop and I plan on making a treck out there one day. Great looking ride.

Thanks for the welcome, I have been lurking around on this site for some time, I just have never done a lot of posting on any site. The Camaro utilizes all of DSE's suspension components, the only changes to their parts is the upper coil over mounts are tied unto the full cage. We used a Fuel Safe cell that is an extra capacity cell for a Mustang. It worked out fine for the Camaro, getting it up higher so you can't see it from the rear and no extra charge for a custom tank. The wheels are Kinesis 19x9 and 20 x12. The engine made 720h.p. and is low compression so it will run on 87 octane. We are using a Walker copper and brass radiator, I have always had great cooling with their products on all of the big block street rods we have done. We added an oil and power steering cooler on either side of the radiator and made matching mounts for all that also match the valve covers and step plates. The rear bumper was lowered 3/4"to 1" completely reshaped and recessed into the rear body. The front bumper was lowered a 1/2" or so and we just fabbed a complete new bumper to achieve the look of a chrome enduro bumper. Many of these parts including all of the interior components are items that will be available for sale soon, we just have some finalizing to do to make sure the fit is consistent from car to car for all of the parts. Paul Atkins handled covering the interior. I will work on the photos but it will take a few days. We are running wide open right now trying to get several things ready for the Street Rod Nats in Louisville and getting Bob and the Caddy ready for Bonneville.
Thanks again

Not bad from a good old redneck out of Gadsden Alabama. You guys have had a heck of a good year and really put out some Bad rides. Congrats on the top 5 and most of all the RIDLER !!!!!!.

Thanks for the info Alan!!:thumbsup:
That is a KILLER car for sure. I LOVE the fact that it's got a big block as well.
I have a question about the big block? Who makes it? And are you running a methanol system? You said that the compression is low, it runs on pump gas (87) and makes that many horses?? :bow: :cheers:
VERY NICE!!
