My 68 Camaro Twin Turbo Build

[BrianMoseley]

Bought this bare shell when I was a freshman in college. 20 year project completed in 2022. Sharing what I ended up with.
It's a blast to drive, wish I had it finished 10 years earlier. I enjoyed the process, but never again...haha.
Will try to answer any questions if it can help others.

Very nice build. Love the color. Sits just right too. What the distance from the ground to the top of the fender arches?

[Steve68]

Nice ride,

I can feel the heat coming from under the hood,

[BrianMoseley]

Ground to fender arches: 26" in rear, 25" in front
The front inner fenders are heavily modified to enable that ride height with that wheel size and track width.
