My car is probably too low for sidepipes,Derek. The exhaust system on the car now is pretty decent and all it lacks is running it through the rockers. Just too poor and lazy to take the car to my custom exhaust builder in Houston and have it finished.

See exhaust section for the sidepipes. Thinkin about you Ralph!

Mirrors were hand sculptured to fit the contour of the door. A little time here, but turned out nice. I love the view through them and they fit the car well.

Now that's a thought... a turbo 5.0 in a camaro... hmm, I do have a close friend that does turbokits on mustangs....

So has anyone tried to crucify you for putting a ford motor in your chebby yet?

**Little Bob** · 12-07-2005

I've been waiting to see progress on this car. I'm drooling over it. Can we get a better picture for desktop use? I love the combo.

Welcome back Ron. The car looks great. Glad you had the guts to run the modified boss stripe. The side pipes are bugging me though. You might want to consider coating them flat black. Or better yet, build a tunnel (or two tunnels) in the trunk pan so that you can run the exhaust over the rear suspension. Another member here is running a Watts 3-link and that is what he will do.

It is obvious you spent your time off the forum well Ron!!!

It looks great!

That's an incredible Camaro. I love the suspension and detail. The choice of power plants is awesome as well, along with the Boss stripes.

Have fun with it and let us know how it does on the street and track.

Am I keeping up with everybody’s questions? I apologize if I miss any.

Thank You everyone for your positive responses.

Matt, I haven't been lynched yet. Usually I start out with everything it has and keep out the little detail of a Ford engine. Smallblock 302, Twin Turbo, 6 speed, 600+hp etc. This sets the stage in excitement and then lift the hood. Some stare at it a moment (some longer then others) and look at me and say "IS THAT A FORD". I say, yep! Most people are good with it, but their are a handful that shake there heads and ask WHY would I do such a thing?

Little Bob, I can e-mail you some bigger images if you want. I don't put them on my web server because of space issues.

Steve C, I was trying to stay away as much as possible in how much cutting I did to the car. Tunnels were a little more then I wanted to go. I would have gone back to 2.5” pipe and run down the center and through the watts link. I was even contemplating splitting into two 2” pipes a side.

As for the handling and performance on the street, it’s awesome. A lot smoother ride then I thought it would be. Very smooth, flat and responsive in the local canyons.

I had a new mini cooper trying to keep up with me in the corners (key word “try”) I wasn’t even pushing on it hard either. Effortless…. The only issue I will have is keeping the backend stuck. This is me…. all throttle control baby.

You have a PM

I got a question for you all.....

I will be getting an appraisal on the car when its done, but based on what you've seen in the pics. What kind of $$$ are these going for these days.

I heard that a built red 69 with a 540 at the PRI show (Performance Race Industry) was going for $420K. Its nice and all, but damn! I would be just fine if mine was only half as nice.

**Damn True** · 12-08-2005

Looks fantastic.

I dig that stack dash. You wouldn't happen to have a template of the backing plate you made would you?

Question: What are the two knobs to the lower left of the dash unit?

**beyonda68** · 12-08-2005

That looks awsome! Love the paint job. Thanks for the pics.

Just from looking at the car you can tell lots of time went into it and money. So I would say 180k with labor and parts IMO. Again this is just from the pics. I really dig the car

Awesome to see that bad boy up and running. glad to see you spent your time well whilst you were away from the flock.

I've hit the mother load of wallpapers...SWEEEEEeet!

Car just looks mean! Great job and congradulations!

**RSX302** · 12-10-2005

Damn True, I was looking around for the template with no luck. Stack has 4 push buttons to toggle through the functions of the dash. I placed 2 on each side of the steering column under the dash for easy access. Works very nice.

**JamesD** · 12-10-2005

Car looks real good Ron. Cool to see you back here, I had figured you fell of the ends of the earth.
