Kinda cracks me up when an Aussie does things to make his first gen Camaro different from others around town. You ought to try that here, mate!
Although what you're doing on your build would certainly stand out here in the states anyway.
How long does it take to get parts shipped, like your brakes? Does it have to go through customs and all that? I would think it sure would encourage planning things out well in advance. Here we're a bit spoiled - we can order things by Tuesday and they arrive on the doorstep in time for the weekend.
Love what you've done and the direction you're headed.
