Do you know your booth # for SEMA. If not I'll keep my eyes open for your car and try and swing by and say hi. I thought I read that Iforged is receiving your car for you so I'll assume that means it is going to be in there booth. One of my good buddies is a concierge for MGM. He can normally get the super hook up(free / buy 1 get 1 free bottle service) for me when I come to Vegas. If enough car guys are interested in getting some drinks and bull ****ting I can see what he can arrange. I'll be in town Oct. 30th - Nov. 6th. |

Im not sure what the booth number is.. but its the IForged booth.
Here's another update. It is getting real close. Soon I will be able to get some nice interior shots. My 10 year old daughter came by the shop today and was welding up her own project. Pretty cool.:captain: |
Very cool. She's coming along.:cheers:
That's a cool shot of your daughter doing some welding!! lol You should put her to work on the Camaro.:thumbsup: |

Nice project!!
I L O V E the pix of the daughter... My daughter loves to come help me in the shed... my son could care less... Had it not been for my daughters help - I'd have never gotten my lift put together -- (they'd sent me the wrong arms and try as I might I couldn't figure it out...) SHE figured it out! DOH! |

Well.... MANY fun hours at the shop the last couple weeks.
The Engine is done and buttoned up. She runs on her base tune..... can't wait to really start running her. Today the gaps got re-aligned and the doors, trunk, ect were installed. Unfortunately i didn't get any pictures of that. We have some nice ones on the shop camera... but they are to big to upload. So you'll have to deal with the Blackberry pics from yesterday. lol. 98% of the car is wired up. We are just waiting for my guy to foam and suede the center consul then we can finish the last 2%(window switches and heater controls) here is a couple pics of her after she DROVE from one end of the shop to the other. :D Only 10 more days before she gets shipped out to Vegas. The stripes are going on tomorrow... :willy: |
Here is a little clip of it in the shop running. Its a Blackberry video... and its on youtube... so expect the audio to be terrible. Fun to hear it though.
It should be up soon...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYaRhtmY-YQ |
The car looks great. Nice work...
|
Just awesome:thumbsup:

Stripes got lay'd and spray'd over the weekend!!:unibrow:
Only stuff left to do now is to put all the interior in it... wet sand it... put the bumpers on... align... and tune!! Should be all said and done by this coming Sat!! :woot: :captain: Thanks again for all the compliments. Myself or Brian (Allspeed1) will post a bunch of better quality photo's of the car.. and a bunch of up close photo's of cool pieces that weren't able to be shown with the blackberry. I think we have a thousand build photo's. Anyway.. thanks again. josh. |
Very nice Josh. You must be getting pumped!
Car looks great. That rear end looks mean!:thumbsup: :cheers: |

Here are a couple more. The car is just about finished. Just buttoning up the interior.... Its looking pretty sick. My guy Sam whipped up a nice cover piece and painted the shop name on it. Also... i didn't want to lug around a big lap top.. so i got a nice pocket PC to keep the tune in.. and since the car is being driven from Vegas to San Diego.. it will give us plenty of "final tune time"... we had to make the paint scheme on the lap top the same as the car though...lol. |
Looks fantastic....and you got lots of time to spare!

Well.... here she is in all her glory. These photo's were taken while getting some final detailing... so don't mind the compound stuck in the cracks.. or the dusty trunk interior, kinda dirty interior... or the screw in the center of the door panel(there is a bad ass emblem that goes there)....some places hadn't been fully buffed yet...ect.
We started to tune her.. but ran out of time and had to throw her on the truck for vegas. During the tuning.. we only ran 8lbs of boost. At a measly 3800 rpms.. she made 530rwhp... and 6XX ft pounds of torque. She sounds awesome. Good thing Me ad Brian are driving her from Vegas to San Diego. That should give us some nice time to street tune her. This spring she will get re-tuned at 14lbs...:unibrow: :willy: Thanks for the compliments throughout the build. Hope to see yous in Vegas!! |
Wow that thing is pretty ridiculous. That rear 3/4 view is just evil.. The only things i would probably do are black out the intercoolers/radiator in the front just so its a little more sinister looking and im not really feeling the asp badge in the back but damn you have a serious ride there...:thumbsup:
|
Awesome! they do some beautiful work . I love the quarters they look like they say get out of my way.
|
man that is so unique in a world of not-so-unique 69s!
Killer stuff man. |
Its always good when people successfully re-invent the '69 Camaro! :wow:

That is sickness right there!! Car looks great!:thumbsup: :cheers:
Did you say that it was 8lbs. of boost was at 530RWHP and over 600FT of torque?!!? lol :lol: That's awesome. Then, you are going to 14lbs.?!!?! What numbers are you expecting at that range? Will it be on pump gas? We need a video of this beast idling and revving please! |
That's another killer car out of your shop!
Those HP numbers are sick! |

Low boost is expected to be 650-750 at the wheels. There was some video shot... I'll see if i can get it posted up. |

Very nice my man. ENJOY!!:bow: :thumbsup: :cheers: |

Hopefully IForged won't be toooo bummed. We tried to get an alignment.. but the inground rack was tied up... so i had to drive her down the street to make sure it was some what straight...lol. The bottom quarter of the car got pretty dirty. She drove straight.. just the steering wheel was clocked a bit.:_paranoid Then straight onto the truck.:( I miss her already. Here is a couple crappy photo's in our Michigan weather. |
Well there MUST BE someone at SEMA selling the latest hi tech wheel alignment gear!! Maybe they'd do yours as a "demo" !!
LOL |
Looks Fantastic! Nice job.:thumbsup:
|
Looks so sinister!:bow:
