Amazing craftsmanship and fabrication but I'm not a fan of the front and rear styling.

Thumbs up

That thing is CRAZY!!! Some of the styling is a little "too much" for me, but it's definitely a great build.
Talk about a race car in a street car's clothes?!?!

KILLER STUFF!!! Hood reminds me of the mid-year vette GS race car hood or at least styled after that

Like I said earlier - wow - awesome work.

But... (zipping the old flame suit on)... I don't think that it is anywhere close to being the Baddest 68 Camaro in the Universe. Or even being a contender for that title. Especially with nothing but build pictures to back it up. The fabrication work is excellent and some of the styling is killer but (performance aside) the whole package just is not there.

Three examples from our own community
  • Tyler's 50/50 - the new Ironworks Chassis is awesome and while his aero design may not be for everyone, it is consistent and ties in throughout the car... it may not be finished yet but the potential is there
  • Carl's RS - a 'pure' looking car that just plain works - one of the original '68 Camaro PT cars that still sets the standard today
  • Bad Penny - if you want to be the man, you have to beat the man

I don't want to disrespect this project at all (I don't think that the building is calling it the baddest in the universe, just Al) - nor do I want to ignore a lot of other really really cool '68's (like Larry's) but hey... I thought it needed to be said.

That notwithstanding - it has the potential to prove me wrong.

I have to agree there, to me it's all about performance. Everything else is second place. Hard for me to consider 50/50 on that list in it's current form.

Just looked at the finished photos......I'll give it the most fabricated 68 in the world but I'd take Bad Penny over that car everyday that ends in day.

I like the engineering that went into this, but(flame suit on) the styling isn't to my liking.

This was on their HUB garage page.
