Love it but I would change the engine cover. I know it's a Corvette engine but the car is not a corvette. Maybe make a brushed aluminum insert for the sides where corvette is stamped. The insert could have Camaro on it or just be plain. That way the cover is still there brining people's attention to the fact that it's unmistakably an LS9 but it doesn't say corvette on it.

Or just remove the cover all together and show off the supercharger and everything in all their glory.

Agree... like the C A M A R O emblems Jesse Greening used on his car!

I'm glad the build style of this car is understated, because if its message was any louder...wow!

Yeah, Charley was out playing with his Duramax today........ We were talking about all the projects he has right now, I'd guess he has as many un-finished as finished, maybe more...............
