That is pretty funny, I guess he fill find out in Columbus. Maybe he should take the the car to the optima shootout after SEMA. Burn Outs and Donuts don't prove anything. Nice car for sure, but those tail lights look so off.

Those guys have a beautiful shop, man oh man....

This shop is only 20 minutes from my house and I stopped in about a year ago when the car was about half way finished. It's nice to see that they finally painted it. The only thing original on the car is the fire wall. Almost all the original sheet metal was out by the dumpster. I can tell you from being there that this shop is amazing. The owner is a billionaire that has a large stake in Michael Waltrip racing.

Thumbs up

Pretty cool fab work.
Especially on the cowl induction hood. I like the color. Not too shabby.
Did not go to the link to check out the other photos though.

As Stuart noted:

This is the car that will set the standard for all 69 Camaro pro-touring cars to come. It is designed to be the most capable, stiffest, most well engineered, powerful and drivable 69 Camaro on Earth. All others will be just contenders for the title.
lol, the arrogance is kinda funny.

Nice shop, nice car too. The tail panel does not do it for me but whatever floats your boat.
The statement on the website is pretty bold considering the quality cars being put out all over the country. Both by professionals and private builders. Some of the cars on this site alone built by "back yard" builders are just as nice if not nicer and deserve more credit in my opinion for being built on real world budgets and without the latest and greatest equipment.
Anyone can throw a fat wallet at a pro shop and get a great car. If that is what they want then more power to them. But my hat is off to those that put some real blood, sweat and tears into thier car and see it through to completion.

Those are the exact same words I say each time I start my car up and roll it out of the garage.

Agreed, the arrogance is hilarious. I'm not quite sure how he puts his car ahead of so many others(kinda difficult to top the Baldwin Motion 540 '69 Camaro). He definitely has a future in writing Ebay ads.

Yep, the backend looks fugly. Looks like somebody who wanted a Vette. Maybe when/if they mount a rear bumper it'll look a little better. Some very nice details though and give the guy a few points on originality. Considering how many 69's have been done already, it's getting tough to generate a new look(bad or good).

Agree with your guys opinion on the tail panel:



This car doesn't compare to the Mule and many others on this site in my books. Less is more sometimes.

Bingo Some things are best left alone.
