Previously I was the race nut. Foster Motorsports with a crew of 5 and 3 race cars.  We took every race weekend as holidays, never getting a real holiday.  We got to win a few times before going for the big $$$ car and built a top Sportsman 2003 mustang. The car made about 10 passes down the � mile track with a best 160 mph and 7.83 before selling it to a guy in England making it a legal street car there. So then the rest is almost history.

I opened up my version of what I would want out of a custom shop. Not your average backyard garage thought that�s where I started working on everyone�s car before the shop opened. Custom looks are what makes your car and you an individual.  Everyone wants there vehicle to look different than everyone else's, and that�s what we do. Quitting my full time job and building custom cars now makes me wonder what the heck I�m going to do when I retire. That�s a long ways away so I�m sure I�ll have time to think about it.

Starting a company with Paul who�s the graphic artist for the company and has also built some cool cars while we were growing up and not even old enough to drive. Killer Customs has been busy since the day it�s opened 2 � yrs ago and building award winning cars and trucks since. I can�t say it�s been easy but finding the right employees is the key to success.

This project started as a conversation in a coffee shop parking lot on a sunny Friday night last September. An innocent, �hi, nice car,� as I stood beside a 69 Camaro of another of our customers. And I guess the rest is as they say history. A deal was struck to meet with the owner, of a really solid 69 Camaro. Killer Customs was to come up with ideas as to how a 69 should look, at the first meeting most of the major ideas you see here were discussed.  The customer was very impressed with Killer Customs concept of trying to build a car that was more a European Super car with a good amount of American Muscle to back it up, rather than just a bolt together Camaro.  Six months of non stop work and an April deadline to have the car at the BC Classic and Custom Car show, finished!! Well it didn�t really happen that way but it was about 90 % done with some finishing work still needed on the interior and sound system.  Don�t get me wrong this is a 69 Camaro but with all the things that are modern, stylish and subtle but still keeping the cars signature and all that you loved about it with more a punch.  Some of the modifications are very subtle and some are in your face, but none are over done.  Everything is clean and smooth with some different finishes that you don�t see everyday, All the polished aluminum was glass beaded and then clear anodized, Black Chromed stainless trim, polished aluminum then clear anodized interior trim.

The drivetrain
Starts with 383 sbc with 200 hp NO2 fogger system Billet Specialties Tru Trac Drive system mated to a Tremmec t56 6 speed trans and then a Strange Engineering 9� rear end with 3:73 gears all housed in a nodular carrier located in the car by an Art Morrison triangulated 4 link rear suspension with QA1 Coilovers. The front control arms are tubular with Killer custom designed uppers to accommodate the taller Superior drop spindles also utilizing QA1 Coilovers. Wilwood 13� rotors and 4 piston calipers on all 4 corners will defiantly reduce the chance of any speeding tickets.

The interior
The dash started as a 59 chev that was extensively modified and smoothed, the gauge cluster is very unique, incorporating Autometer gauges with Killer Customs faces all wrapped in one off billet aluminum bullet holders Killer designed for 343 Custom Machining. Recaro seats that were recovered with perforated leather and matching orange leather underlay. Custom door panels and center console housing all the switches and Alpine head unit which controls a Brax amp that drives Boston Acoustics subs and Brax speakers. The rear seat was upholstered to match the front Recaros also, a faux Swede head liner was installed.

The body
There are too many modifications to list here but some would include shaved door handles, marker lights and drip rails. Split rear bumper with Killer Custom designed/built fuel door. Centered exhaust tips with license plate holder. The cowl vents were filled and smoothed, front bumper filled and fitted and of coarse the side vents, Killer Customs designed/built front air dam and rear spoiler, and much more. giving it head turning style.

The Paint
Sprayed with PPG the black is the same as the Chrysler 300 and the orange is a variation for a Range Rover pearl metallic orange then sanded and polished to perfection.  The attention that this car gets says it all, it has never been done before and all that follow will be a compliment to the over all style and design.
