I don't care who you are...that is AWESOME!! nice work again

I just noticed, that looks like a "Blum" hinge used for cabinetry....trick. Love crossover stuff...

Thanks for all the comments!! :thumbsup:

Another trick mod we wanted to try on this car was the 'split' fender detail. Seems counter intuitive to actually add split lines to a surface on these cars, but this one just seems to work quite nicely with a nod to the clam shell style hood of an F-type Jag.

Fender will get a machined insert in a contrast paint finish so we created the pocket below the split line to accommodate it.

Wow. .. Subtle details make is what make certain builds stand apart. Outstanding.

With the detail matched on both sides, we moved to the rearward details.

Green taped area will be replaced with a machined section in steel with the 'Camaro' lettering.

Tailpanel insert being machined from steel - backside pocketing to remove excess weight:

Face side. 'tailpanel insert' sounds fairly simple at first, but the piece had to be thin enough to weld to the surrounding steel while holding the subtle compound directional curves that the original had... the thickest part of the piece was about 0.42"

That fuel filler/latch combo is killer...

The whole thing has me amazed...

Inspiring as always! :hail:

Beautiful Job! I love the slit and badge on the front fender and the tail panel, hell I love it all!
