Got another 69 Camaro that we will have a the privilege to work on here @ JCG.. The car will get a complete Pro-Touring upgrade.. The car arrived about 6 weeks ago but will blowing it apart this coming week.. Get it to the media blaster.. The list of parts are in the works.. Not too much custom work on this one.. Just bolt on parts.. LS supercharged,6 Speed Tremec, DSE, Wilwood, American Auto Wire, Forgeline, Marquez,Vintage Air, & some JCG goodies..

Carter is working on the rendering… I will have a 572 with 10 miles on it for sale here pretty soon!

Cris I will call you on that 572... Been trying to call you last few days crazy week for me last week...

Thats a lot of Middle East dirt right there.

Dirt? Soil in that part of the world is more like moon dust. Only place I've seen rain create a dust storm. :rolleyes:

How about a little background on the car and the customer. The car looks like it has a few nice parts on it already. I'd trip if I spotted that sucker running down the road in Kuwait!

Cool build. What kind of supercharger?

might want to design a water bath/hepa air filter system for that engine. sounds like another cool build.

Cris
Mario may also interested in the spolier. :unibrow:
Mike

Should be another killer build. Keep us posted Cris.
Did I read right? Only 10 miles on that 572?!?:_paranoid

The pics are as the car came off the container.. plus they did not strap down the car right.. The straps snapped & the car was moving in the container.. Plus 5 weeks in transit... She be a bit dirty!

The car was found in Kuwait in the mid 80's & a shop tried to do the work but was never able to get it right.. So the car sat for many years.. Then the car went to West Coast Customs in Dubai.. but were never were able to reach an agreement on the work their.. The owner contacted me after he found out that I was doing a 70 Chevelle for a friend of his.. The car has some nice components but now wants to step it up a bit.. He wants a Muscle Car that can keep up with some exotics he has in fleet of cars..

I have weekly conversation with my two customers from Kuwait & have been informed that Muscle cars are big their...

Magnuson!

Gus- You will be the first guy I call when we are looking for a LS!

I think this was the only time the car was driven...

Gonzo.... International Muscle Car Builder. :D :thumbsup:

This should be fun to watch. Is he keeping the hood Cris?

LMAO!

We will be running a standard cowl hood Matt..

^ Nice color Cris! :thumbsup: Oh, and the motor's not too shabby either...:D

Nice!:thumbsup: Let me know when it's ready for a shake down run. :unibrow:

god i want my car tucked like that but its a 67.

Man that thing is going to be a beast! I'm digging it.
Will that be the ride stance that is shown in the rendering Cris? Looks killer!

Cris that thing is absolutely sick!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Not bad for another daily driver! Huh!

If I let you drive this one.. you will have to hand over the keys to yours

Can be done! But requires more work...

Tony- It is our goal on the ride height.. 20x12 on 345-30-20 for the rear & 19x10 295-35-19 if they have it for the front..

Thanks Curtis! The owner asked for an estimate to re-build his 69 with upgraded suspension, LS supercharged, 6 speed, & etc.. When I gave him the estimate.. he asked for a rendering that would get him the warm fuzzy feeling on spending that kinda money.. I have always wanted to work with Carter Hickman & always liked the realistic veiws of his 69 renderings.. so I got my project approved today thanks to Carter's Rendering.. Motor approved & ordering the rest in the next few weeks...

Sweet motor! Whats the turnaround time for a motor from Mast?

I think about 4 weeks!

Looks awesome Chris!! You realize you already set the bar for what you did on the 68. Look forward to seeing this one come together! No doubt it will be a killer!

Gonzo this is an awesome rendering really like the color and the stance. This is going to be exciting to watch. I am from Qatar,not far away from Kuwait. I wish I could afford sending my camaro to get it properly built :D

Here is my version of what I would like the car built to on the colors & trim..
Carter hit it dead on the nail for me!

The owner will be looking @ having trim & bumpers in original finishes... The stripes will be silver with matching centers on the wheels...

Brent- Thank you sir! I have few new ideas on the engine compartment for this one.. I am very excited about this build.. Mast LS7 supercharged! I luv these engines... If all goes well.. I should have a LS7 for my 70 Z by next week..

We got 2 builds going on here @ the shop from Kuwait.. & got a more in the works for the future...

Looks great. Looking forward to JCG working their magic once again.
Love the black window trim which goes killer with that paint scheme. Keep us posted Cris.:thumbsup:

Thanks Tony! I have to bump the rendering to the next page..

The finial rendering is SICK!!! I am really digging this car. Are you going to print up any posters...cause I want one! :yes:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looks good Chris. I might be the only one on here... but I kinda like the lighter silver better......Just Sayin. Besides, don't you already have one in the shop already that color? Not sayin I don't like it cause I do....Just Sayin.

Jason what are you try'in to say??:D

I liked the lighter silver, too.

Man I gotta get a rendering done. Looks great! :thumbsup:

If it were up to me.. Silver would be my color.. It happens to be my favorite color for a 69.. but the car has an owner that the dark gray is the color he wants...

That I like silver, and if I lived in Kuwait you could bet your a$$ the car would be white.

Just busting your Blu Balz Chris.:lol:

Jason- You need to clarify something for Mario.. He thinks you are this young stud of a fabricator... Little does he know.. :lol:
