Just joined thought I'd share my car

68 Camaro
632 BBC (World Crate Motor). Dynoed at 816hp at flywheel and 825 ft/lbs torque (albeit by World before it left their place and I know those numbers can be a bit elastic). Also moving to dual quad low rise will take some HP out of it, but that is for getting car registered in Australia and I want a dual quad look before going blown later on
Art Morrison C5 sub frame
Custom 4 link rear with panhard bar
9" with 35 spline Strange Det Locker and axles 3.55 gears
330mm Front discs
300mm Rear discs
Coil overs all round

2 1/4 headers into 3" H pipe system
Hydratech Hydroboost
Sub frame connectors
17x12 Rushforth Concept 1's with 390 Drag Radails on rear
17 x 7 Rushforth Concept 1's with 235's up front
Custom Body mods
- Flush mounted glass
- Flush mounted late model GM door handles
- Shaved drip rails
- side marker deletes
- Billet grille
- removed the dash and full custom metal dash, flowing into console, all way through to rear parcel tray and back to doors
- Metal hood liner
- All switches completely concealed - every one of em, all you will see is a steering wheel and 2 x dakota digital gauges
- Custom gauge pod
- Retrotek push button trans shifter (hidden of course)
- 4 leather bound buckets
Will be painted PPG Vibrance pearl yellow with ghost flames
Tons of billet all over it

Tons of photos up here

Absolutely amazing mate.
that dash and centre console is a work of art. i wish i had the tallent to build somthing like that out of metal.
i could craft one out of wood but would weigh some stupid amount afterwards.
love this build mate.
keep it up!
