Hey this is Matt over at RideTech. In case you guys haven't heard we started the 48 Hour Camaro build today.
The Concept
The 48 HOUR CAMARO will be a build up like nothing before. The concept is simple, using the most current BOLT-ON performance products available a “common” 1st Gen Camaro will be transformed into a full out custom road and track machine - IN 48 HOURS.
Why in the world are we going to attempt to build a complete pro-touring type Camaro in 48 hours? Well, it’s NOT simply to see how fast it can be done…that really serves no purpose in the end. What we ARE trying to do is to demonstrate how EASY it can be to build a car like this utilizing the quality bolt-on parts from well recognized manufacturers.
The Car
A mostly stock, nicely restored 1967 Camaro will serve as the basis of the project. Of course, any car that has been around for over 4 decades can rightfully be considered “rare”. However, it is hard to image a more “common” example of what a large percentage of classic car folks have sitting in their garage.
