Well I started the project a while ago and decided that I would put up the thread now that it is getting close to being done.
It was a nice car to start with, got it out of Nevada but it had just come from California before I got it. The body was in primer so you never know what your going to get under that. It did have a GM 350HO engine and 400 tranny with a new rear end so i figured it was a good starter.
Here is some shots and what I uncovered.

The rear tail pan had been crashed so off with the old and we installed a new rear section.

I wanted to do a few body mods to the Camaro but not go over the top. Simple things like smooth the bumber and french them into the fenders, weld up the valance and headlight area, make a cool lower valance, rear spoiler and vett door handles.
Here is the front bumpers.

Now you can see how the bumper looks and the design on the lower valance.

Here is the front with the lower valance and bumper all done.

Here is a look at the rear spoiler and making it lower than stock or the small short stock one.

Here is the door handle from the Corvette that was installed.

The project will get Detroit Speed Suspension, Baer Brakes, Intro Custom Wheels and BFGoodrich tires. Some Mercedes Silver paint from PPG and other goodies to make a cool driver out of this car.
I will update with some more pictures soon.
Thanks for checking it out.
