FINALLY finished my 572ci EFI 68 Camaro

[572Camaro]

I'm new to this forum. Thanks for allowing me to join.
This 68 Camaro took 10.5 years to build with long breaks in between. We started on August 31, 2002.., The final bolt was installed on March 27, 2014.
This car was built primarily with hand files, a welding machine, tons of sandpaper, muscle and grit and sweat, and good friends. High tech equipment just wasn't that available of affordable to us.
"This car was all about being high performance. It had to have excessive G-forces forward, superior handling, and must stop like a dog hitting the end of his chain."
We wanted the outside of the car to be sexy, not just pretty.
We wanted the inside of the car to have a new car feel, nothing too radical, simple but nice.
When it came to the engine compartment, trunk, and undercarriage, it had to have an industrial, almost nuclear quality about it. No engine covers or trunk upholstery to hide anything. We wanted the guts to show.
So here it is. Take a look. And by the way, many different people were involved in this build. Thanks to all of them, too many to mention here.
