Good Morning,
I just joined the group.. I'm from Ontario, Canada .... ever since i was a kid, I always wanted a protouring '69 Camaro.. and last year I finished building this one.. took 10 months -17 hours a day (while running three businesses) and a lot of YouTube lol
I did everything (welding, body work, electrical, paint, powder coating, tube bending, and a lot of head scratching and even more cursing) on cinder blocks in my house garage. Here are some of the "Important Parts":
Twin 72 mm nelson Racing mirror image turbo's (ceramic ball bearing / liquid cooled / ect)
376 LSX B-15
Terminator x Max
Snow Water / meth injection
2-10 lb bottles of nitrous
Tremec T-56 magnum 6 speed
Heitds Racing Independent rear suspension
Rack & Pinion steering
Hydraboost brake system
Cold Case Custom Radiator
Motion Raceworks fittings
Anvil Auto Wide Body Carbon Fiber Front Fenders
-Forged Carbon Fiber Inner
- "Standard" Carbon Fiber Outer Fenders
Anvil Auto C.F. Extractor Hood
C.F. One Piece Front Bumper / Upper & Lower Valance / Fender extensions
C.F. Header / Close out panel / Mirrors / door handles / cowl panel / Spoiler / Wicker Bill / Center gauge console / arm wrests / blah blah blah blah
You get the picture... I have pics throughout the build on my I.G. @BenSovie if you wanna see more of it..
I just got 5,000 kms on it (break in) and it started snowing.. so i'm fixing couple tweaks here and there... cause once snow is gone, I'm heading to dyno then the track! This is my daily driver (when it's not raining).. for the most part.. I am thrilled with it.. i still have a few things i want to do to it.. i wish i knew about this group when i was building it.. i might have more hair on my head, if i would have known.. hahaha
thoughts?

Wow, this looks mean!

Particularly like the engine bay. Looks super clean and functional.
