This is my new build project for Camaro Performers Magazine. Going for a more affordable version of my orange Camaro and I'm also shooting for a unique look.
The car will be shot in a satin steel blue paint and there will be no chrome trim. The hood and front panels will be true carbon fiber and the stripes will be left bare except for a coating of flat clear. The Grand Sport stipe is nice racing cue and will be painted in blood red satin from Hot Rod Flatz.
The engine will be some varient of a 5.3L aluminum mill that I'm working with Turn Key Engine Supply on. The trans will be a manual. To hit my budget goals the front suspension will be a modified factory subframe. Won't skimp on the wheels though since they can make or break the car, so Forgline rollers wrapped in Toyo R888 rubber will be on all the corners.
The fenders will also carry the Track Rat tatoos.
Right now the car is a mess, but we've started on the bodywork and hope to make some good progress.
The CF panels are in house and we are making progress on the bodywork. At some point it will start looking good. Right now it just looks like a lot of work.
rust, bondo, bad bodywork --- but we will fix all of that.
Aluminum rear wing. Adjustable and functional.
Simple, some sort of cage, Flofit seats off of Ebay, gauges by Classic Instruments.
Will let you know

Yea, I want to see it done too..
It was put on hold until after SEMA 08 so that I can get my orange Camaro ready to do some track duty.
Now that the quarter is on it should more along faster.
Looks like a top notch project in the making.
15 Stars, Very Cool, I can't wait to see it when it's done
