Here's a 2-photo essay of the past two days in the shop... the car goes to the blaster Wednesday. We hope something comes back!

Kevin, what's the outline for the project?

Did we talk about that already?

Hey Scott -

The Royal Sport is going to be a P/T style Camaro that is obtainable by average enthusaists... we're loading it with a Gen III small block / 6-speed combo, a moderately modified stock flavored interior, and some trick suspension pieces. The car has some issues from the waist down, so we're going to be doing some surgery pretty soon. Imperial Blasting is going to strip the car this weekend, and we're off to the races from that point on. We didn't want to go the "mail order" Camaro route because I enjoy putting old cars back together, but we've got lots of work ahead of us. SEMA is the deadline, the car will be in the Royal Purple booth (it's their car) and we're chronicalling the whole build on our show and in a Build Book with Team Killen. We're also doing some cool stuff with eBay Motors, and a DVD of the whole thing when we're finished.

Sounds like a cool project! Keep us posted, as some of us don't get your show, ie. Direct TV.

Thanks HotWheels... it's been a long weekend!

Anyone know how to put a Camaro back together?

Shoot me HIGH res versions of those pics and a brief summary of what you are doing with the car. I might be able to get you a little more press. No promises but those pics are just so darn cool..

Thanks Kevin

Thanks for the interest, Steve. I'll beam you off some shots from the blaster, plus some tight shots of some of the "fabrication" we've uncovered. We're finishing our body jig today, and the de/reconstruction of the tub begins next week.

On another note, we're all really impressed with the Z069 car! We hope we can make this one come out 1/2 that nice!

Talk to you later,

Kevin Oeste
