VooDoo is a 1969 Camaro that came to us for Vintage Air, Suspension Upgrade, new wheels, and a few other minor mods. It soon changed direction and turned into a complete build. We started making some body mods and noticed the car had a lot of filler in it. So then we had it media blasted. Once the car became a full build, we sat down with the customer to come up with a game plan. The car titled "VooDoo" will have a Twin Turbo BBC, Full DSE Suspension, Custom Cowl Hood that extends to the windshield, Goolsby Door handles, Custom rear spoiler, 67/68 Fuel filler, Raised fuel tank into trunk floor, DSE Mini Tubs, Forgeline wheels, and a bunch of other body modifications.

Also did more work on the rear bumper. We cut it down and made it tight to the body. Also added a little length to it to make it fit the look we were going after. Still need to build the license plate area and raise it up so we have room for the center exit exhaust. The bumper is going to be molded into the car.

Got it on the ground. Made some coil over adjustments. Still have a lot of metal fab to do. Next we will work on the twin turbo setup, the engine bay area, and start on the roll cage.
