We have made some serious progress in the past week while I was on the road at Good Guys Pleasanton and the Super Chevy Suspension Shoot Out. It is always good to come back from a week on the road and see a lot of progress.

Both quarters have been completely installed and both inner fenders have been completed. All of the metal work to get the car back to a solid starting point has been wrapped up, so we can now move on to the custom fabrication.

We fabbed up the louvers for the stock hood to give it a little better look.

Cut the stock "gills" out of the quarters and have begun the new inset scoop look.

A few shots of the new gills/ fins that will go into the quarter opening.

Started with rough cut aluminum

Then began cleaning up and radiusing the edges

Once the shape was finalized, we went back and subtly curved the pieces to match the curve of the body.

I like all the changes. The hood louvers look sweet.

love the hood. Wonder how they would look on the side of a cowl hood

Very nice work guys. I like the louvers on the SS hood, but also like the idea of louvers on side of a cowl hood. I picture something to the effect of the louvers on a 66 big block vette hood. Functional louvers of course :yes:

Awesome work. Love the ideas going into this car.
Those hood louvers look 100% better.:thumbsup:

A little more progress on the Camaro.

We have finished up the gills in the 1/4's.

We have also begun the fab work on the rear spoiler.

Initial shape layout and beginning to fab the rear face of the spoiler to get an idea on the rear cut out.
