Did Hermance Design give you permission to use that rendering?

I do believe Ben did the rendering for him.

I'm thinking a PM to ask BEFORE an accusation is made....

Just thinking here...

Not really an accusation. I'd just never build a car someone else is already planning on building. Maybe its just me....

Good luck on the build regardless.

When it comes to the Camaro I think everthing has been done that can be done to these cars .. Unless your RS ,RING BROTHERS ,or Troy etc, Its hard to come up with something new. The average guy just does'nt have the resorces they have. I personally do'nt have the imagination these guys do so I have to look at others for ideas. I do'nt think thats a bad thing. I hope I make sense here..

Doom -- Good response and spot on!

I was at GoodGuys show this weekend -- I own a "belly button" 56 Chevy (okay it's a Nomad but it's still just another 56 Chevy) -- I also own a 37 Ford... My buddy is shopping to build a 34 Ford or 35 Chevy... so as we're walking around he says -- Geez! 34 Fords are everywhere! To which I replied - Yeah! Because "everyone likes 'em"! --- Later we come across a GREMLIN and he says -- "man! That's rare" -- To which I replied "Yeah... because nobody liked 'em then either"!!

LOL

When you get right down to it - our Camaros - Mustangs - Tri Fives - Early Fords are all "me too" cars -- but it's because we LOVE THEM!

I think the only time it matters if you "stole" someone's idea - is if you were building a SEMA show car... and you were both going to be showing there...

So I'll keep the Torque Thrusts on my 56.... and look just like everybody else - and LOVE looking at and driving it.

What the hell -- I stole the "look" of THE MULES original engine (Enderle 8 stack if I recall correctly) from Charley after meeting him and seeing the car a long time ago... THANK YOU CHARLEY! Well - and Mark too I suppose!! LOL
