“Snowblind” TT 67 Camaro from EBMC
 
After I sold my Mustang, We were looking for the next shop car and decided to do a 67 Camaro to use at autocross events and as a demonstration vehicle for prospective customers. We found a suitable shell and had Ben Hermance do a rendering of what I had in mind and he applied some great ideas on it as well, this was over a year ago.
Well a customer came in, liked what he saw and bought the car and wants it done exactly like the rendering! So I still don't have a car of my own, but he will be taking it to many events and using it the way we wanted to. It will feature Art Morrison front and rear clips, 800 hp twin turbo LS3, T56 magnum, with triangulated 4 link in back. The car is getting vinyl wrapped in Satin grey, carbon hood with Satin clear, shaved drip rails, flush glass and Rushforth wheels in 2 tone. Everything is going the flat look and I know some people are going to love it and some people are going to hate it,but it was going to be my personal car and thats what I wanted!

What an awesome renedering :thumbsup: Really like the look and sounds like you have a great plan. And for what it's worth I think the "satin" look is going to be killer :unibrow:

Really diggin all the design queues and color except for the magenta. Different for sure, just not my personal preference. My style would run closer to a flat red. Car looks great.

The "magenta" is actually closer to a burgundy. The actual powder coat code is called "Crimson Red"

Thanks for the comments guys! It's a maroon metallic but I usually render the cars in a natural/outdoor environment with the blue sky reflecting some blue tones. That could be why it may appear Magenta. I can't wait to see this one completed. Thanks for the opportunity to help out!:thumbsup:

coolwelder62 04-06-2011 11:09 AM

I think the Rendering and the camaro are awesome.:thumbsup: That's what makes this hobby so great is everybody can choose what they like and the rest of are happy for them.You guy's do some great work.Can't wait to see more.Scott

The color seems to come in a couple of diff flavors:

Some of the metallics look really deep. I'm sure it'll look great fellas!

tones2SS 04-06-2011 07:00 PM

That should be a killer car.
Keep us updated.

Looks like a great project, would love to see this in progress, and see the rear clip installed.

EBMC 04-08-2011 11:48 AM

Thanks everyone, the rear frame section fit the floor contour very good and combined with the front clip we have a full framed car.

Yeah he does some great work, definatly a forward thinker in the industry.

69x22 04-09-2011 07:20 PM

Looks like it is going to be a nice car.

EBMC 11-29-2011 10:16 AM

Now that our 69 project is off to paint, were able to focus more time to our 67.

frame work for rear spoiler and bodyline added to rear valamce

trans tunnel and center dash mods fabbed, building firewall now.

http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...ouring/007.jpg

initial mock up of TT ls3, theres going to be a whole lot of plumbing under the Carbon fiber hood!

coolwelder62 11-29-2011 05:43 PM

Looking good.Trans tunnel is cool.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

rwhite692 11-29-2011 06:04 PM

Steve that all looks great. That intake looks very nice in there (looks to be a precision metalcraft, right?) Did you have it anodized black, or ?

CF hood, are you sure it won't melt? I was thinking of getting one for my project but not sure about the high temps w/turbos...also in my case w/Iron Eagle SBC the weight savings = throwing a deck chair off the queen mary

tones2SS 11-29-2011 07:49 PM

Nice update guys!
TT LS3 = much power and torque. How much power are you guys looking for from that engine set-up?

Flash68 11-29-2011 08:35 PM

Steve, that is killer man.... glad to see you back on that! :thumbsup:

Rob, it is a black anodized precision metal craft, everything will be black. Turbos are black ceramic, and all plumbing, valve covers ect. We will be lining the underside of hood in a product called lava shield, hopefully that along with turbo placement, we will be alright.

700 w/10 lbs boost. We will be dyno tuning when closer to completion.

rwhite692 11-30-2011 12:17 PM

Steve are you planning for an intercooler?

twin water/air

EBMC 12-01-2011 08:41 PM

Firewall complete. We were going to put some steps in it to give some design, but figured it would be busy enough under the hood with all of the plumbing and so we kept it smooth and simple

http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...ouring/101.jpg

Next up is fitment of the radiator, intercooler radiator and AC condenser. These will be pushed forward to allow as much room as possible for turbo plumbing. It will all be tight, especially with the RS headlight doors.

tones2SS 12-05-2011 07:36 PM

Great updates guys. Keep'em coming.

EBMC 01-06-2012 08:31 PM

The holidays are over and its time to get caught up! Weve been working on the front valance to figure how much room were going to have for pushing forward and packaging everything. (radiator, air induction, intercoolers, AC condensors ect ect )The RS doors create an even tighter package, but we'll figure it out.


The lower front valance is its own piece located with dowels to the spoiler corners

the fender will be carried to this line and the functional scoops will be trimmed back.

not much left of the original valance!

BODYSHOPMARO 01-09-2012 07:54 PM

cant wait to see it finished!

waynieZ 01-09-2012 08:14 PM

It looks very nice. Great work.

tones2SS 01-10-2012 07:47 PM

A turbo LS3 should move out pretty quick. She'll be a fast one for sure.

rwhite692 01-11-2012 12:48 AM

Man Steve that valence looks wild, nice job!

EBMC 01-11-2012 09:57 AM

Thanks everyone! Were really excited to get this car out there along with our "Tenacity " 69 Camaro. I think it will be cool to see two Camaros with completely different build styles side by side.

Cris@JCG 01-11-2012 11:01 AM

Steve- You got some damm nice Camaros going on their.. That is why I am now doing Fords!
