Default some pics of my 67 SOM ls1 camaro

well here are some pics of some of the last 7 months trying to finish up my 67 camaro, i basically redid everything from suspension to motor to rear end... the car is not done yet but i have some pics of how its been coming out....the car should be 98% done in about 3-4 weeks... most of the work was done by my friend Jose and I, Cris (ZSS2148) helped me with the cam install, i had a lil bit of help from my gf holding the door open while installing the door panels lol... will post more pics of when i actually wash the car, i love the way the car came out with the SOM with black stripes and powder coated black TT2's. car has 9'' rear with 3.70 gears and was converted from a powerglide to a M6....lots and lots of work was put in...the only thing stock on the car is the interior....i also installed covants guages which i will post some more pics later on.... let me kno what u guys think
it started from this:

Excellent work. Like the color choice! Personally though, I liked it better without the "RS" on the front.

Good Job!!

You have 1 bad *** Camaro... Keep up the good work.


The only thing I would change is the way the exhaust goes out the back, Dump it right behind the rear tires and it would look really clean.

I love how clean it is under the hood, I'm jealous.

Must say I would prefer fewer emblems on the outside of the car, but at the same time it makes it seem kinda sneaky and almost stock looking.

Nice car though.
