Carter Hickman rendering of my new 73 Camaro track and street car

[camcojb]

I'll start a build thread once I get some of the cars projects cleared out of my shops, but for now I wanted to show you the rendering Carter did for me. The plan is a budget 73 Camaro ($25K to $30K complete) that will still look nice and give me a car to do track events with. I had it rendered in Silver, but may go with a flat color, not sure. I am hoping to make friends with Matt and Tyler at Anvil to run their carbon fiber body panels, and so the rendering shows the stripes in raw CF, which will be shot with flat clear.

As you know I've got one coming from Ben Hermance too, which I'll post when it arrives.

Nice Jody, what are the plans for the suspension and drivetrain?

That rendering by Carter is amazing BTW

That is going to be sick.

I bought the car from Chris Mock. It has already been minitubbed with a 4-link rear and DSE tubs, along with Chris' C6 front subframe and new C6 suspension. I have an LQ9 with CNC LS3 heads and custom cam that I had planned to put in the Vega; that will now go in this along with a T56 6 speed I bought from Steve Rupp.

thanks Chris. I've had 4 second gens previously, really like them. This will by far be the best one I've done, but it's not going to be real expensive. That makes the build fun as I can't afford another 6 figure car, so parts choice and decisions are more carefully thought out, vs my past thing of buying whatever I wanted..........................

Looks great Jody.
Does that budget include the cost of the car already with all those goodies or is that on top of the car cost ?
Also will it include the LQ9 and T56 already purchased ?
If so.. that'll be a killer low budget track car !

Sounds like a Killer project Jody. Those suspension parts sound interesting. Are there any available for a Gen I and any pics of the car/suspension?
