Everyone has been asking what is going on at the shop and I have not been posting much. Well, we have been sandbagging a little bit. Truth be known, we painted 4 Camaro's last month, 1 every weekend, that are all coming together. The shop is a rainbow of Camaro's, Red, Black, Green and Silver. and 2 more will be painted this month. Michael, Andrew and Bob have been kicking ass and the place looks like a Pro Touring Camaro factory. At last count there were 13 Camaro's on the property getting the treatment!

So this is one we have been keeping a secret for a while. It belongs to our member Victone from San Fransisco and this is going to be one badd boy! Victor bought one of my body shells from me and contracted it as a finished roller. The car includes the best of everything including the full DSE treatment including minitub, Subframe, and Quadralink. The Engine is a new crate LS7 and is getting a little help from a cam among other things to up the power. Victor will drag race this fairly often and opted for a killer automatic. The transmission is the badd ass Bowler / Twist Machine 4L65 manumatic, sending power to a Mark Williams stuffed 9". A set of Anodize Fikses and BFG TA KDW2s give it "The Look".

The Red color is a secret, but is the redest red you have ever seen. Everyone that comes in the shop dies over the color! it literally lights the entire shop up!

We are waiting for some Mega Stop Tech Brakes, and doing a few more little things before this monster heads across the country to it's new home. We already miss it and it has not even left yet.

Victor has built a number of killer cars through the years and is a accomplished mechanic. So we did all the dirty work and Victor will be finishing the rest of the project.

Thank you Victor for trusting us with this build. It's guys like you that make guys like us look good!

Congratulations buddy! I know you cannot wait to see it.

I think I just pee'd a little. Frank - you guys consistently turn out awesome cars and I need to tell you that it's not just the paint-jobs themselves that catch my eye, it's usually the gaps and the mega-straight lines. Just awesome bodywork that you lay the paint over. Thanks for keeping the bar high for guys like me to aspire to.

Thanks for posting the car up Frank! I know everyone here is probably tired of seeing '69 Camaros, but I just had to have one! And blame Frank for posting it up.

I was originally going to give my '70 Chevelle the PT treatment but decided to put my money and time into the car I have always wanted. I was looking for a finished car and change it to my liking, but couldn't find anything to fit the bill. I called Frank to get his opinion on different cars I was looking at and ended up with what we see here. Working with Frank has been a pleasure. Absolutely no BS. He never tried to sell me on anything and allowed me to build the car I wanted. Thank you Frank!

Thanks for all the positive comments. It feels nice to see my project posted up after years of browsing these forums looking all sorts of wonderful projects. I can't wait to get it home and finished.

Vic, beautiful car. You picked out some great parts for sure.

When are you planning to have it home? Would love to meet up and see it since I noticed you are in the city too.

Thanks! I still can't stop staring at the pictures and can't wait to get her home. The car should be home next month, so shoot me a PM to stop by. It's just a roller with the engine/transmission mounted, so there is still work left to do. :twothumbs

I think it looks good with the polished lip wheels.

Since we are back on this thread, what's the latest with this car?

As for the painted front bumper, it is a painted steel bumper like Vegas69. I do think it looks great, ala enduro bumper with out using the crappy einduor bumper!

Project has stalled for a bit while Victor focuses on buisness. We finished what we were supposed to do in the pics we posted. There was conversatrion about us possibly doing more, but right now we have been looking for a good deal to get it shipped home to Victor.

Oh wow, apparently I fail at reading original post dates. What year is it again?!?!

Is this the yellow with that cool black/orange stripe you guys were playing around with?
