Carter Hickman rendering of my new 73 Camaro track and street car

[camcojb]

thanks guys. There will be a full build thread on this one, with a running total of every dime spent. Should be some good info, and fun to boot. I have the money in the bank to finish it now, but I'm holding on to that cash as business has been quite iffy the last year or so. If a screaming "got to have it" deal comes along for a particular item I'll need comes up for sale on the boards I'll grab it, but not sure exactly when the "build" will start................

Congrats Jody. You are to darn tall for a Vega anyway I am sure this will be a awesome build!

Nice looking car and rendering. The silver looks killer with the black fiber strips.

When you were asking about the vega, it sounded kinda like what I had years ago and I thought that it might be a cool and lightweight little G-machine. But this second gen Camaro will be ALOT better! The car looks great,greatlines and it will be a build that will be very interesting. Just dont turn it into a 100 thousand dollar showcar and you will be fine. I liken it to less is more. And you will capture everyones interest! Plus it will be a blast to drive! Im gonna follow this build like a hawk Jody. Lokss like its going to be a great build, and a great car!

thanks Tony. It won't be a 6 figure car, 'cause I can't afford one right now................ It'll be fun to put together a car most guys can afford to build, that will still be competitive at the track and the local cruise. I'll keep track of all expenses and show everything I do, so it can be duplicated by anyone.

I am really excited about this build. And that you are going to keep track of and post costs. I am shooting for the same kind of thing. Good looks, performance and a lot of fun. Like Tony said, going to follow like a hawk.

Do you have the car in your possession yet? Any pics of "off the truck" condition?
