***Gordon, we need a build thread from you!

Wow what an awesome car, we really need a build thread?? Oh and only 700hp N/A that's all

Oops, typo, yes 19" rear.

Front = 10.0X18 6.25" backspacing.

The wheel/tire package is the same is Mayhem.



*Gordon, thanks for your for your support! We look forward to seeing the finished Camaro soon!

I like it Gordon!

The surprise/wow factor of walking up to that car in the pits or at an event will be off the charts. Focusing your resources on the engine compartment, underbody, trunk, and interior with historic paint and killer drivetrain and suspension will really spin people. While paint adds to a car's look, it limits most owners desire to use them...........properly.

Gordon,

I have had many dreams of finding a perfectly patina'd Camaro and this is it.

You sir have built my Dream Car.

I hope you never change the paint and please if you ever decide to sell it please think of me.

The photo below is from the day I received it from El Paso. A nice, dry, (basically) rust free old Camaro
