My DSE equipped 68 Camaro (track car)

[drktrrs]

Bought this gem a little over a year ago and have finally made a good deal of progression. It's currently being built by Dusold Designs. Some of you may be familiar with Mike Dusolds 67 twin turbo Camaro at the top of the power adder section. The car wasn't in too bad of shape when I bought it. My original plan for the car was to just spend a little here and there to make a nice 68 to cruise around in. Well, after getting into autocross this year with my WRX and meeting Mike at an SCCA event.....plans changed for the car.

These wheels and tires aren't mine. They were on Mikes car before he upgraded. I love the way they look though. I've got a set of CCW wheels and BFG Rivals on the way. Going to run 18x12/ 18x11 with 335-30 rear and 315-30 front

The plan as of now is a fully built twin turbo 427 (est. 900-1000 hp) and Magnum 6 speed. Going to run big Wilwoods front and rear. As for paint...I'm leaning to do satin black with silver stripes down the side of the front fenders. I've got a Sparco EVO II US race seat, Ididit column and Sparco steering wheel. I've been so damn anxious with this whole process. Mikes shop is doing a badass job though. Can't wait to get on the track.

My block also came in. Decided we're going to build an LSA. Got the fully forged LSX376 B-15 block. Going to run a fully ported and polished ZL1 blower. Looking to make somewhere around 750rwhp on 15 lbs of boost.

I am anxious to see how it looks with 315s on the front! Keep up with the good work.

Yah, its going to take a great deal of fender massaging but we're going to make it happen. I'm pretty anxious myself. Got the tires in and I think my wheels were finally being made last week.

Got the cage going in

[boostin05blacksti]

Love it!! From one first gen. lover to another.. I also may have a thing for lsx too. Car is going to be slick man. Keep it coming..

[drktrrs]

I appreciate the comments. I know alot of guys projects take years and years to come together but I've only had mine for a little over a year now and its driving me freakin nuts. Being patient with the build has been a big hurdle. I will definitely keep posting updates on any and all progress. I work out of town for usually weeks at a time so I don't get to see it much.
