Great attention to detail, I'm taking notes on this build. subscribed

Intake is sick! Nice work! May be a silly question but can u tell me the benefit of having this exhaust vs a cutoff or full exhaust? How is it controlled?

The benefit is I have a choice on what I want the car to sound like at any given time. The car should make more power with the exhaust fully open vs going thru the muffler. It will be controlled with a switch.

Any updates on this awesome project?

my first update in a long time.
Worked on a new front valance. I was going to just do a Marquez Design, however Tim suggested I keep the car all metal instead of putting fiberglass on it now at this point.

So we worked on a few ideas and this is the one that stuck.
I played around in CAD first to see what it would look like.
Moved the lights out 6 inches and made 2 openings.



The layout and the start of moving stuff around.



Tim metal finishing it up.



Mocked up on the car.

another small update.

Stripping the coating and primer getting it ready for paint.


Also wanted to make a rear spoiler that I could call my own.
its shorter and leaned back a bit, but plays off the original spoiler style.
Tim has it all tacked in place. it needs to be all welded and then metal finished.

Well I have begun to dismantle the Camaro and get it ready for paint.
I pushed it outside and took some pictures.

Here is the spoiler all welded and finished. I really wanted something that looked like it could of been from the factory. Its shorter than stock and leaned back more than a stock spoiler.
Also made sure that it had an edge. When the spoiler is built off the trunk it makes the trunk look too long and out of place in my opinion.

I took some shots of the car outside and even decided to take all the protective tape off the wheels.
