JCG Restoration & Customs 69 build

[Cris@JCG]

Here is another modification that we need some input.. See how the cowl hood rear was brought all the way down to the cowl panel.. Opinions guys!!

Thanks for the compliments Dave! The rear tires are 345 30 19's..
I gotta get this car done before the ZR69 is completed

What size tire is on the rear? Maybe its the photo. I know you stretched the quarters but the tire looks a little oversized by looking at the photo.
Fitment of all the panels looks top notch and the front bumper

The car was going to be painted Tangelo Orange with white stripes.. Now it is ??? the car will be one solid color with black Z/28 stripes.. Now we gotta get the tires un-mounted so that the color in the centers can be changed.. gun metal gray or black

Matt- She is a "FATTY" & the first car we stretched.. The owner started by wanting fatter tires in the rear but did not want to mini tub it beacause it is real Z/28( working on making the original DZ motor into a coffee table) so I came up with this idea & the rest is history

Ok
I have to say car is looking good.
One thing i see that i have a suggestion on.
the rear bumper doesnt cover the lines on the tail panel. if you look at the rear shot just below the bumper , you see the lines in the tail panel.
Idea - split the bumper horizontal and add about 3/4 of an inch or so to make the bottom half of it to cover those lines that are stamped into the tail panel... I see alot of modded body camaros and people miss covering those or making them go away in the metal work.
Keep up the good work..

Nice looking Camaro. It has been well thought out. As far as the scoop to cowl clearance issue have you ever thought of forming a pocket in the cowl area adajacent to where the scoop edge aligns when the hood is closed and extending the edges of the lower rear edge of the scoop downwards so that this area will ride inside the pockets somewhat,therefore eliminating the gap.

Thanks Mario & Doug but the credit goes out Palmer Paint & Customs on the latest body mods & body work on this one.. & the owner.. he just keeps catching the smallest details for us to make this car the best 69 we can come up with.. Right now we are dimensioning to make custom stainless washers for fender bolts to use 6 pt ARP fasteners for the front sheet metal assembly... The one thing we can't stand is when you tighten a fender bolt & it lifts the paint.. We are going to machine the washer with a tappered undercut to help with that problem.. & a few more items we are going to make custom..

Nice work. That looks hot.

Is that front bumper steel?

No guards for me.

As usual, amazing work Cris and crew. Car looks nice.
I vote no guards as well.
