Some of the latest progress pics on this Camaro: got the doors/recess wrapped up and gapped nicely, also removed the door handle and locks.



Next up, the hood!
The plan here was a bold, diving recess with lower openings to allow for some much needed airflow around the monster motor and turbos.













The plan then was to widen and fill the recesses on the upper cowl, picking up the new body lines from the hood. The design progressed a little further to merge the left and right recesses into one large one.

Time for more pics of the progress of, perhaps the most malevolent vehicle in the shop: "The Truth".

Finishing up the metalwork on the hood and windshield cowl. You can see in this pic how deep we managed to get the pockets to extend into the already packed engine bay:





The lowest faces of the hood scoops will eventually be opened up and receive a machined bezel and mesh.

Attention then turns to the front splitter and lower valance opening.

Incorporating the 'winglets' on the splitter:











We dont always engineer our standoffs, but when we do, they are cnc cut and airfoil shaped...







With the main shape of the splitter locked in, we now begin the lower valance (or lack thereof) and the opening shape:

This car was so cool before all of the extra mods, but now it's way cool.
