Thanks for all the compliments guys....

Thanks again, man.... hope to see you driving your Camaro real soon....

The splitter is being played with. The one in the rendering was thought up by Kris Horton. I like it... but like you said... who knows how it will look in real life. We have mocked up a few different ones.... But still undecided.
What you can't see is the rear. We are mocking up a rear diffuser (like the ford gt) Should be pretty cool.
The LS block is the one from the truck... not the "super" iron block. You have to excuse my "LS" knowledge.... my partner Brian is the Engine dude. lol.

This car is going to smoke Dyrdeks... lol.
I think we are lining up some dual photo shoots... and also may run them on TV... when or where..... I have no idea. But he can't drive anyway....lol.

We originally weren't going to do it. Matter of fact..we were going to two tone the car to keep the costs down(on paint)... but when we got the renderings... and the fenders were flared(as usual).. I came back to the shop and the fender was cut.. I said "WTF"...lol... and my guy was like... we HAVE to do it like the rendering. Thats what opened the doors...

We have the DSE quadralink with coilovers. The front suspension is Global west.... coilover.. drop spindles... ect. Stock subframe with a couple little tweaks... but not much. NO air ride... We put that in Robs car. I hated it. To finicky... buttons and what not.
The turbo kit is going to be built by ASP. They(Brian) are pretty good at it. I've attached a photo of a turbo kit he built in a 69 a couple years ago. Mine should be pretty similar. We are using Bullseye Power turbo's... We are a certified tuner for them... and they are from our area so we are going to show support.(I wish they would donate them suckers though)....lol.

Thanks. I decided to go old school because...... I don't know really. I guess they are just bad ass cars..the majority of my car club all runs muscle cars.. and they are a hell of a lot easier to work on. Not to mention the feel, sound of a cam'd out V8 is intoxicating. And now that you can really make them drive like a bimmer... but still have that OG look... and when done right... its game over. Looks, sound, acceleration..ect.
Not to mention... I am apart of a business that specializes in making them fast...
Mr. Vengeance.....
I live 5 miles from Gratton Race track. My plan when the car is done is to be at the track 3-5 days a week. Im not going to lie... I have(had) pretty high horsepower cars... but none have had the power that this car is going to have. I drive the piss out of my cars with no looking back. But I know how to respect the power... and i WILL have to go and really learn how to drive this car. My bimmer will lose traction at 75mph... and I can control it. Whether its sideways... or straight... But I know this car will lose traction at 120+.... so, The track is where I will learn how to handle the power. And believe me.... it will ALL be documented.
Thanks again guys...
I love this stuff.
