Default Project "SCAR"

One of the latest projects being built by Roger Burman at the Lakeside Rods shop is a 67 Camaro for Karen Leisinger. Karen has had several first gen camaros built, but couldn’t convince herself to purchase a 2010. So Roger and Karen decided to make the best of both worlds. The car will be powered by a Warren Johnson racing 500 Cu in LSX motor. Horsepower will be somewhere in the range of 1000+. The motor is backed up by a Gearstar 200R4 Trans and a Detroit Speed Suspension. Look for Karen and Roger at one of the Good Guys’ events. Keep checking Eric Brockmeyer’s website to see the rendering of “Scar”.

More info and pictures to come as the build progresses.

My policy is honesty, and I honestly hate it.

I am on the fence. I see some things I like and others that are not to my taste, but it's not my car so big deal. I would love to know more about the engine though.

I know everyone has their own taste and style, but I have to admit I don't see any of it in this build. Seems like a ton of money wasted on butchering an already awesome car.

This is a tough one. I just dont see why anyone would want to make a first gen look like a new gen. Seems a bit backwards.

Will you be putting the interior from the 2010 into it? Would like to see a 1st gen with this setup---I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone does it---who will be first---

Dare to be different. There are 1000's of camaros on here and to a non camaro owner/fan they all look the same!!!!!! Yet this one grabbed my attention. However if you had done this to a Falcon i would be dissin it too!!!!

I'd like to see more pic, seems alot of fab work, I just don't like the wannabe diffuser and chin spoiler is a bit too thick and looks out of place,but I like the rest. Was the roof skin modified as well?

Wow guys, nice way to be friendly.

Honesty may a good character trait, but so are charity, courtesy, and empathy, and each should be tempered by the others.

The fabrication work is intense! I also think it grabs the best of both generations of Camaro.
