Some more updates - wrapping up the spoiler as the last main piece on the rear and moving to the sides:

The side detail on this '69 will be a little different than usual as it will start on the quarter and run into the door sheetmetal.
http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2864/8...755238d9_b.jpg IMG_1049 by Roadster Shop, on Flickr Nothing quite like cutting a giant hole in the side of a car... :_paranoid http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7353/8...a40493d7_b.jpg IMG_1095 by Roadster Shop, on Flickr Note that the insert main shape doesn't just follow the door profile straight back, it follows the contour of the door while twisting to match the profile of the lower quarter... http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2819/8...c6bb2f67_b.jpg IMG_1155 by Roadster Shop, on Flickr http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2826/8...c0dc294c_b.jpg IMG_1162 by Roadster Shop, on Flickr Next up, the inner edges and the other side! |
Side skirts and scoop on body look great..
|
:cool:³
What kind of GPA do you need to get into Camaro69 University? ;) |
Looks Awesome !!!!!!!
|
Very nice!! This is really going to be over the top now
|
Looks sweet.
|
So, so sick!! This thing in now on that other level
|
Wow, the execution, as usual for you guys, is brilliant.
|
The body looks so nasty, much more of a match for that insane engine hiding under the hood. Incredible work and attention to detail.
|
Some of the latest progress pics on this Camaro: got the doors/recess wrapped up and gapped nicely, also removed the door handle and locks.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7330/9...fae995e6_b.jpg Next up, the hood! The plan here was a bold, diving recess with lower openings to allow for some much needed airflow around the monster motor and turbos. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7334/9...3cc210d6_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7296/9...13ab6a4e_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5542/9...ea262a8e_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3760/9...2ac75e9f_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7372/9...64fbc029_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2882/9...2c59f349_b.jpg The plan then was to widen and fill the recesses on the upper cowl, picking up the new body lines from the hood. The design progressed a little further to merge the left and right recesses into one large one. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3801/9...3f3a6514_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3684/9...6e347b3a_b.jpg |
Awesome work!

Looking Sweet! Nice work.

Time for more pics of the progress of, perhaps the most malevolent vehicle in the shop: "The Truth".
Finishing up the metalwork on the hood and windshield cowl. You can see in this pic how deep we managed to get the pockets to extend into the already packed engine bay: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2833/9...5b6c32eb_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5536/9...a6a584a6_b.jpg The lowest faces of the hood scoops will eventually be opened up and receive a machined bezel and mesh. Attention then turns to the front splitter and lower valance opening. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3742/9...87b6a099_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3693/9...35b1ee5d_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7368/9...0f48d663_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5476/9...0355aeed_b.jpg |
Incorporating the 'winglets' on the splitter:
http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3783/9...812a7ec2_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5508/9...ce9e6fce_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2834/9...28a9f99a_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3668/9...4eb49ed3_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3831/9...2df6cc82_b.jpg We dont always engineer our standoffs, but when we do, they are cnc cut and airfoil shaped...;) http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3827/9...53f2accb_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3752/9...fc0b55c8_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2836/9...775bd260_b.jpg With the main shape of the splitter locked in, we now begin the lower valance (or lack thereof) and the opening shape: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2818/9...c0a989dc_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7291/9...1ee42c0e_b.jpg |
This car was so cool before all of the extra mods, but now it's way cool. :king:
|
Well I guess it's time for another trip to see the shop!!! :confused59:
:king: |
Fab question - Is that splitter 0.25" aluminum or thicker ?
And the rounded leading edge was that really formed solely by hand operation of the grinder/sander ? Looks pretty nice if so. |

Nice job.
|
I really like that design. Pretty cool!!
|
Unbelievable! Awesome car! One question, who makes those hood latches? Thanks
|
This...

Great work as always RS! :cheers: |
I'm more impressed every time I check progress! The recessed cowl the width of the hood vents with cowl induction overlap looks like it was meant to be that way. The splitter is really nice too! Great job!
|
If a camaro mated with a Lamborghini... LOL. Looks awesome.
|
can you tell me what the length of the wood you used for your stands? Are the lifts the same size front and rear? I need to make a set asap.
|
This thing is all kinds of cool. Man oh man---Camaro envy--I have it for this one bad.

And picking up where we left of with the lower opening, finishing up the opening edge and spoiler:
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7311/9...6cb5d708_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7438/9...f7812500_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5332/9...21840be1_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2886/9...670d4271_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5492/9...fa8109d2_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5454/9...951ccfa7_b.jpg As possibly mentioned before, it will be getting a custom mesh set back within the opening which will match the main grille. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5500/9...18aa6b23_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7292/9...44c1f1a9_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5499/9...f615c7af_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7415/9...80183717_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3666/9...7c9dd118_b.jpg |
