With the exception of the import power and that exhaust....the car looks absolutely beautiful.

We could try painting the bottom part of the intercooler black so it isn't so obvious though. Most of the '67-'68s without the front bumpers don't have this FMIC so they look good without it. Still researching ideas to redo the exhaust tips.
I actually want to expose my IC in front and will not run a bumper. If you are worried about protecting it, some people make a mesh cover for the 2 vent openings there. I personally like the industrial look of an exposed IC. Painting/coating it black would be good if you wanted to hide it too.

You really did a fine job on the interior. That screams exotic to me, something we don't see often in these muscle cars.

Thanks! What I meant with the intercooler exposed is that literally the bottom part of the intercooler comes out of the vent, hard to describe in words. But its not flushed. At least to me it looks funny. I'll post a pic of the bumper removed and see what you guys think.

Oooh, I thought you meant you didn't want to see it. That must be a big IC! Yeah, throw some pics up when you get a chance.

I also respect the fact that, after building such an interesting and "controversial" car to some, you are taking suggestions and opinions with open arms here. Very cool.

Those are cool, but I don't think possible for the setup on this car. The exhaust side exit will interfere with the subframe connectors. The ground clearance on the car is pretty low as it is already, and running 3" exhaust piping reduces this clearance.

they are available in 1-1/16 to 1.5 inch thickness.. i think that ought to clear

https://www.drgas.net/category.php?cid=45&catid=5

also the very reason they are on nascar cars, where they are called boom tubes.. is to disperse the "crack" from fumes exploding in the exhaust and mellow the boom to a rumble.... it will do the very same on your "ricer-spec" monster engine.... (no disrespect intended :-) )

Would you be willing to share the paint code on this 67' Camaro? This is the color I've been looking for and its on a 67' same as my car. Thanks, Travis
