Thanks! I'll see if I have any. I believe it was a 05-13 Porsche latch.
Picking up where we left off, the next job was the side scoops. Always a signature feature of most '69s so we decided to use it as a nice contrast area against the yellow. Some sheet metal mods to the area to highlight more of a 'scoop' with a fabbed accent bezel.
With a fairly decent fabrication project nicely reduced to 4 images (), we turn our attention to the rear spoiler...
Stock as a visual starting point.
As with many of the features, we wanted it to look cohesive with the car and not a 'hey look at this spoiler'. We decided on a simple more 'blended' and slightly lower look with a stepped detail (this detail escalated as you will soon see...)
Step 1...remove skin. Makes any welding, hammer work and underside access a lot easier without the bracing in the way.
Hood followed suit with the theme we were building on the car. Keep it close to the familiar Camaro lines but with a modernized look. After 10 or so options sketched up, we landed on this one:
