Default 1968 Camaro Pro Touring

Were just starting on this 68 Pro Touring Camaro. Plans originally are an LS3, Heidts sub frame, Hotchkis rear sway bar and use the rear multi leaf springs, Full custom interior with digital gauges, tv monitor, full custom upholstery mimicking a 2012 Camaro.

Now that we have started the client wants to change some things. He just purchased a new Porsche 911 and he wants this Camaro to blow its doors off. So now a few more upgrades may include a turbo, and a 4 link rear and who knows what else.

Were open to suggestions and so the client. About the only request is an automatic transmission. Let us know what you guys are thinking and we'll throw it out there.

I'm having trouble posting pictures right now, you can go here to see the car here http://pinterest.com/pin/467389267548774934/

Default Update 1

We tore done the body and mechanics and have stripped the paint. A trip though the sandblast room and we'll be ready to start the body work

Default Not too shabby

It is a pretty solid car, but it has had some quarter skins replaced without fixing the inner wheel houses. I have seen this more than I would like and this car is just another one in that category. Ill have some more pictures soon with more of the progress.

If he really wants the car to be competitive with his 911 in a road course type situation he needs to be thinking full frame with IRS. Not sure what the Heidt's is doing but should be the Vette components up front not stock based solutions as well.
