JCG Fat Bottom 69 Camaro
 

Gonzo's 69 Camaro build!!

I want to thank Ben Hemrance on doing a fantastic job on the rendering. He will be working on having a rear view of the car in the next couple of weeks to compliment the the FAT BOTTOM tattoo. Ben took some serious heat from his wife one night because he got caught looking @ Nicole Austin "COCO" booty pictures on behalf of his research :D I think he hit the tattoo right on the nail. LOL

We don't have specs on the car yet because we have not gotten that far. One thing for sure is that we are running the New Gen Lite wheels from Driverz INC. I really luv those wheels!!

I can't wait to watch this one come together. Rendering is killer :thumbsup: :cheers:

Gonna be sick! I wish they made some fat bottom rear quarters. I would have jumped all over them!

Awesome rendering, Ben!

Cris, I REALLY like how you incorporated your logo stripe design as the stripe package on the hood. Very slick.

Ben you smashed it out of the park again,,,,,, that said Chris made the job that much easier with your talents and your uncompromising commitment to build fit and finish...... The beautiful job he does stretching the fenders and doing all the detailed little custom touches that are common place over at the shop are really nice to see (and I've seen some of them first hand at his shop)....

This guy is certainly one up and coming builder,,,, keep an eye on him as I think you're going to be seeing a lot interesting things develop from his shop in the next little while ;-).....

This one will go slow.. we have to find time to work on it between customers car!! I would like ot have it done by the end of this year :unibrow:

We might have qtr panels in the future available.. I want to finish this one to ensure that it looks right & has intrest to justify tooling cost!!

Scott, Logo with stripe on hood is all Ben.. He did an awesome job!!

looks great - can't wait to follow this build up.

I can hear Queen cranking in my head! Looks great so far!

Thanks for your compliments Albert & also with your input on the rendering!!

We have some awesome stuff coming up for Warpath!!

That should be a killer car when done. Looking forward to the updates.:thumbsup:
Nice rendering as usual Ben!!!:cheers:

555 Big Block
 

I still have this motor lying around my office.. I think we will slam it between the fram rails of Fat Bottom.. Need the torque to move the additional rear weight..:D

I want to run an LS motor but I think that this 555 with TKO 5 speed might work for the time being.. What you guys think??

Nothing wrong with a BB with high power/torque ratio!!!:thumbsup: :unibrow:
I'm all for it.

We estimate about 700 hp & 650 ft/lbs of torque :unibrow:

Thanks guys and thanks to Cris for giving me the opportunity. As much as I loved doing this car....I think I liked doing the RESEARCH for the "Fat Bottom Camaro" tattoo. Yeah...."research"...that's what I told my wife too. I'll be allowed back in the house next week...I hope.

Sounds good to me!!:thumbsup: :unibrow:

If you put the "tattoo" above the rear bumper, and between the tail lights would it qualify as a tramp stamp?

Matt

Yes!!! Sounds like a DAMM good idea to me Matt :D

nice job
 

Great job BEN:thumbsup:

NOW SHARE THE" RESEARCH" :rofl: LINK WITH YOU CAR BUDS... :unibrow:

Tom

Matt-The tattoo has a tramp stamp of the JCG logo!

Tom-all Cris told me was "Coco"....nuff said:unibrow:

Ben, I noticed that, in fact, that is what prompted my question. I couldn't make out what it said though. Your research really must have been very thorough.

I certainly got lost on google for a while. Damn Coco and her evil powers.

Car looks awesome too. HA!

Cris, as always, amazing stuff. Hurry up with the quarter panels already!

Greg and I are hoping to get over to your shop before the West Coast RTTH event---can we bring our cameras? Will you be at the event?

Doug

Now you understand why Ben is in the dog house :rofl: Sure hope they let him in soon so that he can finish the rear view of the car!! Of course he is going to have to do some more RESEARCH :D

We have been working on the panels this week!! hope to have them done in the next couple of weeks..

You & Greg are more than welcome to stop by the shop with your cameras :unibrow:

I will be @ the West Coast RTTH!! I just registered to today.. I will be driving my old 69 that I sold to my buddy John..

Awesome rendering, I love the tattoo

That's what your car network is for Ben good buddy LOL,,,,, this way when they want to throw us out we have a place to hang our hats ROFLMAO.... On second thought you better do that research in the summer if your coming this way though,,, awfully dam cool other times of the year....

Great job buddy...

Could you give me the dimensions of the cart that you are using for mock-up? I love the way you use the C-channel for mocking up the ride height. The set up is simple but effective.
Thanks Clu

PM sent..

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Having personally seen this 'body' (not the chick in the rendering!) I can say that it looks WAY better in person than in the pictures.... It's bad Azz for sure!

Now if I could get my arms thru this T-shirt I could type better... :woot:

That looks FREAKIN' incredible :hail: Looking forward to seeing how this project comes out!!!

Here is another one with the company logo!

Thanks Greg! Sometimes I worry that I over did it on the fender stretch.. but good to get other peoples input..

I am ordering new shirts just for you Greg! one that will actually fit :lol:

Should be a killer build Cris!! I look forward to the progress pics.:thumbsup:
Great job on the rendering Ben!:thumbsup:

Are those Firebird tail lights?

That rendering looks great . I like the tail lights.

Awesome look---can't wait to see it in person---you got skills Cris---See you in May at the GG show right?

Doug

Ben did a killer rendering for you Cris. I tried finding your shop when I was down there for Delmar. Got off the exit and somehow ended up on "Car Dealership row" and then ended in a medical complex. Time was short so we had to get back on the trip, no GPS in the rental.

Nice rendering! I'd like to see more pics on how you widened the quarters and fenders! :thumbsup:

Those are Firebird taillights in back Matt..
