This Camaro was one of our favorites at SEMA - here's a chat with Kenny Davis about the car.

What i like about the car is the three piece spoiler. I have not seen that before and how smooth it looks. Also sucking the bumpers in to the body looks awesome..

Incrdeible car..

And Brushed Nickel!

And Brushed Nickel!

Yeah, gotta say I really like the look of those brushed nickel bumpers. Really gives it kind of a flat, mechanical look, which would be perfect for a sans-chrome car like mine.

Is this a process that any chrome-shop can do or is it very specialized? I.e. Who could do this sort of thing.

I'm not sure, but I think nickel is usually applied before the chrome in the chroming process.

RROOFFLL!!!... yup!

So I'm guessing that this is the truck/trailer theft that we heard about that had some kind of super-secret, all-important, Uber-part for the Camaro and they really really wanted that part for the show.

Sound familiar? I'm pretty sure it was posted here.

Wonder what that part was and whether they got it, or got it replaced?

We're looking forward to hooking up with Kenny "Hotboat" Davis in the Redneck Riviera (Lake of the Ozarks) this summer...

[David Sloan]

Very cool car we looked it over at the show. They build killer cars.
Thanks Kevin& Kelle

Nice video, nice car (to say the least).

Great job coming back from the theft too. Thieves suck.

Right: copper, then nickel, then chromium. That's where the phrase "triple chrome plated" comes from.

I used electro-less nickel plating (but didn't brush it like Kenny's bumpers) on several of my suspension components. It's a cool way to inhibit rust without paint or too much bling.

kevin and kelly, thanks for the spot on V8TV . yes the bumpers are 1 step shy of chrome , we were really trying to get the industrial look across .
sorry for driving the mastershift and nickel so hard , i was nervous as a ho in church . but mastershift really stepped up to help us when our truck was gone and replaced paddle shift .
now the car is home and i have got all my honey-do projects finished i can get back to working on it and others in the shop .
again thanks to all who have said good words about the car

Is the 3 piece spoiler a ZL1 thing or just somthing he did??
Thanks

I've said it a few times in different threads on different forums - but I'll say it again - that car is beautiful.

I'm pretty sure the rear spoiler is a KD Hot Rods creation.

The shop owner I worked for a long time ago (over 8 years) did that to his '68 Z/28. It had been that way for over 15 years then. Very nice when done well. I have seen a few hack job versions.

[skeeters65]

So there were no original Camaros that were that way??
Thanks
