Hey welcome to the board mate... Where in australia you from? I'm in north qld.... doing a 68 BB atm.

[cluxford]

I am in Melbourne, agree everything is way more expensive, I'm only just starting and expect a 18+ months to build but will be awesome when done.

There is another guy in WA also doing a BB 68 on this board.

i thought there were ristrictions on CI in australia, it must have been one of those thing that i heard from a friend of a friend kind of thing.

its awesome to see more camaro's in austalia, i have seen more ferrari's than camaro's lol.

Seems there is a lot off restrictions in Australia, so for example how would you build a pro street or road racing car ...what about hi end custom cars.
I guess I am getting confused because off hearing different stories from different people.

Guys you got it.....especially in Victoria...lots of restrictions. My absolute dream car is a 68 prostreet with blown 427 BBC fully tubbed with cage.

But here is what you can't do:
Engine protrusion can be no more than the horizontal plane of a 16 centimetre diametre circle at it's touch point rolled up the hood...confusing yes, but essentially means no more metal out the bonnet than about 3 inches

Tubbed...can't cut the chassis so that's out

Cage, can do a cage but means it's registered only as a 2 seater

Many people still do prostreet etc, and get plates on them, but get pulled over a defected a lot.

No restrictions on cubic inches. Well there sort of is, if the model came out as only 4 cylinder then you can only do 4, if maximum 6 then 6, if 8 then 8 .... you get the picture. So I'm OK for the 632 Ci in this car

All in all I want a really tough streeter that is show quality, can do this just got to play inside the rules...but means it's short of my real dream.

Also there are more and more Camaros in Oz which I agree is fantastic to see

[tomsullivan]

i never quite got any of those rules,

also on the engine coming out of the bonnet thing, my friend got done for having a hornet scoop on an XF and the scoop was only about 2 inches high, they said it restrictes visalblity, the kicker is my friend is over 6 foot, so that wasnt not really a problem.

Many people still do prostreet etc, and get plates on them, but get pulled over a defected a lot.

yeah you always hear all the stories about ppl getting puller over on the way to summernats.

but even with the restiction there are some mean cars being put together here in australia.

cant wait to see some pictures of this one.

[cluxford]

Will be posting pictures once it gets started. Car due to arrive in late Jan, body and chassis shop already to get started...so in Feb the pics will start rolling out

why dont u register it first then do the mods maybe an engineer cert for a few of the mods so when u get pulled over pull out the paperwork just my 2 c
