Yea, like the Fairlane... even if I recieved a part for free the retail price of the part was added to the list.

It's actually easier to hit a budget in real life since you can buy used parts and get stuff on sale and GP

Best wishes in the new job, Steve. The new project has more relevance , for me anyway and I'm looking forward to ways to use up my credit limits! Just gets better and better for us.

That credit goes to the artist Ben... I just gave him my general idea and he refined the stripe idea and added the GS hashmarks.

very cool Steve. Now I need all your new contact info........

Cannot wait to see some build pics of the car. I saw "Penny" in person at SEMA and would like to say that it was one of my favorites from the show. Are you going to be using a Carbon Fiber lower front valence like on Penny and if so, where do you get them? I do not see them on the Anvil site. Do you plan on running the tall ATS spindles on this car, since you are keeping the original subframe?

I will also be writing for Super Chevy and I have three installments on the Fairlane left for PHR.

So, you guys with Camaros be sure to submit for the "Hometown" section. I will also be starting an Under Construction type section.

Thanks to the artistic skills of Ben Hermance we now have a plan for our next project car.. Project Track Rat.

Still working out the details but it will be more affordable Pro-Touring car. Not a dirt cheap car, but a fun and practical car that will most likely have a budget cap, including the car, of $40k. For reference that's barely more than my Fairlane build. No mini-tubs, factory subframe, etc.

Project Track Rat:


The car will be painted in a satin blue and the front panels will be CF. Hey, gotta have some style. All trim will be done in some sort of flat/satin look. Nothing crazy on the suspension. G-bar in the back, that sort of deal.

We also have Project Orange Krate in the works for Camaro Performers. It will be a 2nd Gen with the full pro-touring deal done to it (mini-tubs, etc). 427 cui small block (Gen1, not LS7).



Anyways, should be fun.. Camaro owners, make sure you send me your info. We are always hunting for features and for our Reader section.
