'FUSED' 1968 Camaro by Roadster Shop

[RS-Chris]

Introducing a new thread for a build we have been chipping a way at for a few months now.

The customer brought us a somewhat decent starting point for the planned build using a Wegner LS7 pushing around 650HP mated to a T56 and utilizing our FAST TRACK IRS chassis.
