Connection - 1969 Camaro at GAP Racing
 
Connection is a 1969 Camaro that one of our long time customers and friends. He has had the car for a while and we have built many cars for him since the purchase of this project. We are calling the car Connection because he is involved in the communication industry. Here is a run down of the project.

Here are some older pictures once we got the car back from the media blaster. The project came to us as an empty shell

You never know what you will find once the car has been stripped of all its paint and filler

Once we had the new rails under it, we replaced both quarter panels and fit a new trunk lid on it. Then installed the Detroit Speed Firewall panel. - Here it is on display at the Houston Autorama

Time to get rid of the dip in the hood. The car will have a smooth wiper cowl with no vents

Customer wanted the car to appear stock on the outside. We decided to clean up the drip rail a bit.

Wow, you guys are smashing out some awesome work! Can't wait to see this thing done.
Bit biased but that's the best colour combo
