Two questions:

How did you fab the front clip/bumper and ....

Do the girls come with the car?

Hey Sam -



Thanks for the nice compliments. Sorry about the delay in the response, was out of town all of July.

1. To make the front clip I purchased a factory Firebird bumper and lower valence (from a same year Camaro) both made out of Fiberglass, hacked them to pieces to get "the look", then brought them to a boat builder to make a plug that could be further modified. This was then put on the Firebird for fitting and more molding. Then I took the plug to a fabricator (who makes the molds for Sea Doo) and he made a mold for a one piece front. We then took the mold up to a race boat builder and they made a one piece clip out of Carbon Fiber. Ended up being quite time consuming and way more expense than originally planned, but at least I have the mold if the clip ever gets damaged.

2. The girls were wives and girlfriends of Camaro owners. Wish they came with the car, but no such luck... Would have one for each day of the week...
