Just wanted to start by saying thank you to Marc at SC&C, the guys at SpeedTech, Matts classic, Tobin at Kore3, Jason at Rushforth, the guys from The Shop LLC and Chris Straub. Thank you for helping me put together my dream car that I 'mostly' did myself.

Thanks Guys !!
So... colour is french racing blue from the new Jag's. Everyone that see's the car, first thing they say ... "love the colour !!" Sometimes you just have to take a chance, and I am so glad I did

That passenger side over axle tube looked like a challenge. Way to stick with it, I've been there.
This project is a great example of what can be achieved in a garage. Huge props for an ultra clean build.

Thanks guys, this truly means a LOT coming from members of this forum ... you guys and the builders here set the standard on designing and building some of the nicest cars on the planet and I wanted to see for myself if I could build something in my garage worthy of this forum. Now as a reminder, I did not complete the body work and paint, nor build the 496BBC, but I did do everything else.
Another note, there is no way I could have achieved what I did without the assistance of some of the suppliers/vendors here (as mentioned above), and as well without learning from the SPECTACULAR builds here that inspired me with some of the cool ideas reflected in my car.
A BIG thanks to all ...
Sincerely
Steve

Beautiful car. How's the ground clearance with the x-pipe and the Speed Tech Torque Arm set-up? I am assuming its 3".

Oh ya for sure, actually I'm just north of you in Claremont. Lets hope the weather clears, of course the minute the car gets completed the weather goes for sh%$t

Dave, my real issue is the stupid supercomp headers. I had to jack the car up nearly 2" to get ground clearance on those. Looks like I'm going to have a local guy that built my exhaust build me a set of headers this winter.
As far as the X pipe, looks as though its a little more than 3" ... but close

Great job!! I hope you didn't hook up your hideaways! Those things look nice always closed, even in the night :) nice to see to see another local PT car. If you are ever in Scarborough shoot me a PM! Hope to see you around.

LOL Thanks Tory ... didn`t think I`d see this thread again, well the timing is fitting as `Finally Done`Part 2 is about to be posted ... this time all custom front to back designed and built by me and covered at local shop (New Image) in Toronto. Complete new interior, motor, tranny, etc ... VERY happy and excited to see how it`s all coming together

Very Nice!
I love the understated black & silver engine compartment! Great job on the entire car. Just enough bling, but not so much to look gaudy. Very tastefully done. AND it still looks like a 69 camaro!

Thank you .. exactly what I was attempting to achieve, will have the car back in the next 2 days from the shop and she`ll be near done
Thanks
