Totally digging the invisible soft top on the 68, do want!
Needs to turn the engine bay from 11 down to about a 9.
The '69 looks a little...well...thin. Someone took "adding lightness" to the extreme.
"How much HP does it have?"
"Well that depends; how many horses are pulling it?"

I promised my mom I would build her a '67 someday. It'll be about the time that I win the lotto......
Cool cars. I think I would take a early Camaro over pretty much any Mustang and most Vettes.

I don't get it. It's new? Body is old? Or is it all made from newly made refurb stuff? How do you register it then? Or do you at least need a scrap car somewhere to get the vin?
Horray for kick *** jobs though

I wonder about that too. Its at a point now where you can have a "68" Camaro, thats 100% new. Which is sweet. But it makes registration a bit more complex. My guess is that unless you start with a OEM Unibody, its a "kit".

The 68 was a rust bucket. I'll have some before shots of it pretty soon.
The 69 has some original parts going on it, but for the most part it's going to be entirely new.
As for the "customs" on the hood, it actually says "Iron Horse Customs".
This is somewhat of a client "bait" car I'm told there is a magazine shoot already set up for it once it's finished.
couple more pics:
Here's the 69's body
Next car arrived today, owner of this one swears Elvis bought it and had it custom painted this color.

Thanks
sure beats taking it up the *** at a bank/office/IT department/laboratory and every other **** hole I've worked at.
The coolest part of this job comes this fall... when we start building these
powered with something like this:
Only bigger,we're talking full on trophy trucks
