A Big Thanks To Ben Meissner At Street Rod Designs

Wanted to give special thanks to Ben at Street Rod Designs for this incredible rendering. This car has been decades in the making, going all the way back to high school in the early 70's. A friend of the family had ordered a 71 El Camino SS brand new with an optional custom color from Chevy. This was back in the day when you could do this. The color was a Cadillac special order called Nutmeg Firemist metallic. He went out of town for a couple weeks and left the car with me to drive. Cowl hood with black stripes, Cragar mags, black tonneau cover, I was in heaven. I've never forgotten that car and the rare color combo, and always wanted to do one for myself. I've attached a pic below of the color on a Yenko Nova.





The plan is to use a custom chassis from one of our vendors and as many parts as our supporting vendors can supply, and make this an official Lateral-G build. Just need the money tree to start growing so I can get started... :G-Dub:

Working with Ben on this project was awesome, completely painless. I highly recommend him for any artwork needs you may have.

Rendering is incredible

True art

What a great color and an even better story! Looking forward to watching this come together.
:thumbsup:

And it's not a Camaro.... yeeeeaaaaahhhh

Awesome. Cool color.

Great work, Ben! And, good luck, Jody! I think it'll turn out great. The color combination is spot on.

It was a real pleasure to work with you Jody. This car is going to be one sweet ride! I'm all about unique and I think I now have a new color for that bucket list COPO clone Nova I want to build one day. ;) I totally dig it! Looking forward to following along with the build thread!

My name is Scott and I approve this rendering!
My son recently asked me if I were to build another Chevelle, what would I do differently. I told him I’d do a shade of brown, to be different. I’m about to show him this rendering...Love it!

Someone buy the second gen Camaro project from Jody so he won't have a excuse not to start on the Chevelle. He has a factory 4 speed car he has been sitting on for years. 6K $ ?????:popcorn2:

Hate to tell you but that car belongs to you. :poke:
