Looking forward to some youtube videos. That will be very cool.
The rear end of that Camaro looks pretty mean. I like it!

Thanks man....
I can see it a bit...lol.

After we work on a couple spots.... the car gets completely taken back apart. All the suspension is getting powder coated. The suede and leather will be here tomorrow.... so the interior will be getting wrapped over the next couple weeks. We just bought a double stitch sewing machine.... so we can do it here now.

Kinda killin me... but i guess i have to look at it like an investment. Cheaper than farming it out................... i guess.

Thanks again for the compliments.

the rear of that car flat looks awesome! I really dig the diffuser concept, built in spoiler even if it does seem a bit Shelby/California Special-ish, looks really cool.

Everything is so smooth and blended well on the rear of the car, any thoughts of smoothing out the front dam/incorporated splitter design or will it be keeping the sharp lines as seen here?

Thanks! I agree, the car just looks tough...everytime I look at it in the shop I just smile and shake my head. Its hard to come up with something that looks different from the rest of the crowd especially when you are working on a 69 Camaro...one of the most popular hot rod platforms of all time. All I can say is its fun going into the shop everymorning to play with the beast!

The plan is to unleash her for SEMA.

I'd highly suggest reconsidering that front splitter. That car is going to be undrivable in a lot of circumstances. Grocery story parking lots will eat it alive and come back for seconds. A stock Camaro spoiler on a lowered first gen gets ripped apart frequently.

If that car plans to get driven, I'd reconsider it or make it removable. The gentleman I met at Cal Speedway had the right idea with his front spoiler, he made it removable...

Thanks for the advise...
This Camaro's chin isn't to bad. There is actually a few inches of clearance. Rolling in and out of the shop is no problem.
Im also used to slammed cars. The chin of my last M5 was seriously 1.5 inches off the ground. Drove it for 4 years. I don't think there will be any problem.
