I'm sure Doug will get around to beating it, but I don't think it's really done much performance driving yet.

Then agian, maybe I missed something.
Autocross.

Current owner states it's been clocked at over 185mph. Confident it'd do 200mph.

160 mph at Road Course.

If everything is supposed to be unfair. Then why don't you do something with the design of the car that is ground-breaking instead of a stock looking yellow camaro with a black hood?
just a suggestion, i appreciate all that this car is to date, keep going!

We decided from a styling persepctive to keep the car and proportions very stock. That is what we like and also what the majority likes. Once you start cutting, choping, frenching, wedging, flushing, for every one you excite you probably push away 10 others. And like I said, we love the look of a 69 Camaro.

I would have to agree completely. I love to push the envelope as much as the next guy but in the end the car we remember from that era still looks good in our head.

PS but the cutting chopping an stuff is still cool too!

Thanks for sharing

Well... there's design, and then there's design. The car needs to be recognizable as a 69 Camaro, and it has to be something that other enthusiasts can claim as their own. Keeping the outer sheet metal as GM originally intended will help with that, and so is one of our base requirements. We are showcasing the Auto Metal Direct replacement parts (both in aluminum and steel), and it's hard to show off replacement parts that get tweaked.

The car has enough new technology in it; plenty enough to keep Frank and I up at night wondering if we can get all of it done.

I'm sure there will be other projects that tweak the sheet metal for a different look.

John ,it's Auto Metal Direct.

I still think you should look into V160 Getrag 6 speed transmission, FWIW there was an update between some years, can't recall what year, and they have different gears,plus SW managed to get his 6 speed Supra to break 240+mph,setting records so I know it's worth looking into

A 69 Camaro is a damn good looking car with stock sheet metal. Chopping up a great foundation it like sending a super model to a plastic surgeon. It turns out great once in a while. There are clearly some examples around here that turned out great and tasteful. The Kalis Camaro comes to mind. I like it but it could hurt it's marketability when it is sold.

Spoken from the man with one of the simplest exterior cars we have done and the most requested car to duplicate!

OK, so time to update. We have been crushed at Prodigy Customs finishing (4) projects, (3) 69 Camaro's all of which are headed to RTTHs for their debut. We also have been readying the Bull Run Racer for Bull Run 2010 with a new Magnum 6 speed and lots of tinkering, and Lucy is ready to kick much ass this year!

John has been working on the Isis System and plumbing of a absolutely gorgeous black 69 Camaro we are finishing for a member. This is one of the cars coming to Pigeon Forge. While we have all been slamming on the other cars we have been working out the final details and sources for Project Unfair preparing for the eminent thrash.

Tomorrow is a big day for the project. I am flying to New Jersey to meet with Pat Musi to finalize the details of our engine build. Our RHS Block is already at Musi's shop. Our Mast Motorsports 6 bolt heads are shipping this week. The national sales manager and my close friend Tom Razzanno (who's SB2 headed SBC 427 68 Camaro convertible we are finishing right now) will be at the meeting as Manley will be supplying their killer rotating assembly. With the bulletproof list of parts and Musi building the motor, John and I are very comfortable of our power goals will met and the durability of the monster. I still cannot believe we are building a car and Pat Musi is building the engine...pinch me!

John has our traction control system in hand and is working through that. Our Holley fuel injection is on the way to John (exciting stuff for sure).

Last week Michael got the rear clip / suspension in the car. The installation went really well. The frame rails fit the floor perfectly. This week Michael will be doing the tubs and outer body sheetmetal. Then Unfair goes to John who has boxes and boxes of header and exhaust material from Cone Engineering. We are familiar with the quality of Cone Engineering products as we used them on Larry's MotiV8tr. At John's he will be doing pre wiring and plumbing while we wait for our drivetrain to arrive. Unfair will head back to Prodigy in a few weeks for body / Paint and get ready for final assembly. Things are gong to move very quickly now so the update will come faster.

Here is some automotive jewelry for you


The Art Morrison sports a slightly relocated Woodward rack. Our front pulley sits BEHIND the rack the way we have it set up. Michael should put in the rack this week.


I just love calling it our 5 link! I think I am unnaturally attracted to the rear suspension!


The boys are Xing out the rear clip in preparation for welding.


I was extremely impressed with how well the Morrison frame rails fit the floor. Just awesome quality stuff!


We have a little closeout work to do around the multi link brackets.
