well lets see.a quick run down on what Jason wants.he wants the Camaro the exact same color as his Mustang which is a metalic red,the 454 will be machined and stroked to 496,for a trans he was really leaning towards a 6 speed.the int will be black,the buckets seats will be a diff type of racing buckets seats so a harness can be used,he wants to have crome dipped stock looking wheels.we will have to get a diff hood as well since the big block will sit higher than the original sbc.Jason really wants to be able to drive this car to Car Craft and go to other car shows as well.

What branch of the military is he in and also what style of car does he like ie streetrod, prostreet, pro touring. Just to give us something to go on. Very cool you are doing this for him I wish somebody would do that for me.

Jason is in the Army.what he is primarily looking for is something along the lines of a street rod/pro-touring.maybe someday after his car is up and running and he is out of the army we would go drive the Power Tour.this car is def a good thing for a guy like him over there.this project def gives him something to really look forward to when he comes home for a month in October.this will be his very first time doing any car project like this at all for him.he REALLY wants to be involved in the actuall reassembly of the car, so Daryl and I have to be patient and not get ahead of ourselves lol.I have the engine block all stripped of parts except the main caps,I put those back on.the heads,well the only thing I took off the heads were the rockers,other than that I will let the machine shop dissasemble those.I can def see why the 781 heads are so desirable.those intake ports are friggin huge lol
As Mike said it'll be a cross of street rod/pro-touring, it may change once Jason starts to drive it, this is his first car other than the Mustang he drives now but thats just a stock car. Here are a couple more pics of the car, one of Jason ( the owner) and a pic of a car similar to what he wants less the hood, wing on the back and will have a set of ralley stripes.
