Grand Sport Super Sport 1968 Camaro

[customshop1]

I thought I would post the rendering of the newest project we are building at The Custom Shop. it is a 1968 Camaro Convertible with a Corvette Grand Sport twist.
LS1 with a Procharger ( est. 600 hp) Bowler perf 4L60E trans. Grand Sport corvette wheels, Z06 brakes, Corvette seats, Corvette door handles, Sony audio Video system navigation, 4 link, ect. still dialing in the final mods but I thought I would see what everyone thought.
We only have about 8 to 10 weeks for the complete build. Should be fun.
Hope you like it and I will post some pics while we built it.

Looks like a 69 in the rendering..... Are you leaving the 67/8 fender arch body-lines or tweaking like the illustrated model?

Pretty cool. Not digging the mail slot though, I'll be honest. I don't like them on the '10 Camaros neither. Other than that, cool looking.

Will this be at SEMA? That's not a lot of build time! Cool rendering!

I wanted to add to this post that the rendering is a modified version done by

Ben Hermance
Custom Car Designer and Photoshop Artist
www.hermancedesign.com

these photo shop mods were done by a local young artist and we like to appologize to Ben and his company for posting this without talking to him first.

Thanks for clarifying this John. Apology accepted.

This is sort of just a general statement about this issue:

There's a lot of people in the automotive and non-automotive industry alike that wouldn't necessarily be exposed to what it means to use artistic work without permission being granted. It's a lot like downloading music for free or burning a copy of a DVD from a friend. In the journalism industry it's basically plagiarism. Artists make money on the use of their creativity, skills and intellectual property.

If someone uses my art without my permission, first, they're getting my work for free when someone else paid for it. It's not fair and it's very upsetting to my clients and I have a duty to make every reasonable effort to protect them. Second, the art could be used in such a way that is defamatory or detrimental to my brand and could jeopardize potential clients and my livelihood. It's literally stealing.

I have to send out 2-3 letters every other month to people that have used my art in ads, magazine articles, web banners, event promos and even Tshirts without asking permission. It's frustrating when some of these people think that just because the image was posted on the internet they're entitled to use it as they please.

Anyway, this situation was resolved. Thanks for your cooperation John.
