IMO...it's not necessarily about who has the most custom pieces and fabrication. It's all about the total package. That looks like a fabrication shops wet dream. Customer has deep pockets and weird taste. They missed the mark on that car. I agree with AJ, razor set the bar in the completely fabricated world. They will be working bugs out of that car for years. Lexus tech....an all aluminum big block with hilborn injection in high school. Come on dude. Sometimes........

No not aluminum or injected but 700 HP yep all day and this was in the 90's.
For the $$ on that hardware those power number leave allot to be desired. That ultimately is my point.

In High school and into college I worked at MC Betts racing engines in NY. In the early 90's we built a Big inch aluminum Donaven blocked street car for Dennis Ferrara's son' (from offshore racing fame) We used throw away motor parts from one of his boats. It made over 1000 hp back then on pump gas.

Not sure what that proves but its where my reference originates. :cheers:

Yep, the backend looks fugly. Looks like somebody who wanted a Vette. Maybe when/if they mount a rear bumper it'll look a little better

better ??

That shop is over the top... Nice build also, lots of cool details (really like teh billet down bars), but a few things I would have done differently... The first paragraph is comical. :faint:

Yeah with all the fabrication done to the car they put a stock factory bumper on it? Atleast tuck it in some. Well they did take out the fangs.
I don't think I have ever seen those billet tailights used on anything other than hot rods or motorcyles. I don't think they belong on the Camaro at all.
I mean corvette taillights look better. And that rear bumper looks like an afterthought. Looks like its just stuck on there. This is what the owner wants and he is paying the bill so I don't want to rip on it too much.

Razor is hands down the BADDEST 69 Camaro. Waiting to see who can top it.


P.S. TJ and Tim If I ever come into the shop with ideas like this for my camaro please kick me out of the shop!

Agree, sometimes it's best to just not say anything. Hence my sig.

nice fab work, but...?!?!?
 
Like I said, nice fab work. But, it's all in the eye of the beholder as well.
In my opinion, that rear-end is just ugly and way out of place. :rolleyes: Not digging the hood neither.
