From Duramax to LSX

[tombar67]

I started the Camaro/Duramax build thread a while back seen here. https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46534
Long story short, it didn't go as planned. I now have new plans. Here is where I am at. I am now going with one of Nelson's twin turbo lsx group purchase engines. Tom sent me some headers/turbos for mock up. Let me know what you think.

Looks like a great project!

It is coming along. I powder coated the frame and ryno lined the wheel wells, trunk, floor, underside of the car, etc.

long live the red camaro!

seriously, I LOVE it, great detail, I'll be watching!

[dmc69]

very nice! wheels are sick!

[Motown 454]

Very Nice It looks sweet already. Keep us posted.

[madmax]

class 100%. wow. I may have to steal this to photoshop a rendering of my car.

I don't think i've ever liked a single red camaro. The color really pops and isn't too orange. you think 'is that red or orange' and then it's obvious that it's red. who needs flake to do that!


wheels are 100% perfect and look great with all the other exterior accent stuff. what are your plans for the interior?

Thanks for the compliments. The red is from the Silverado SS trucks. Interior is up in the air right now. Probably some corbeau seats, and custom panels, gauges, etc. Nothing to crazy. I want to drive this thing!

[dslhtrdr]

Nice job tom. I like it a lot. The red is very similar to the red I'm painting mine (viper red on top of a white sealer). I'm glad to see you got the motor you wanted for it (didn't I mention NRE to you when I picked up the dmax? Maybe not, but I'd like to think that I had something to do with the twin turbo idea...
