Default 67-68 camaro mods post pics here! lowering springs, hoods, vallances, shaved, etc

I want pics of 67-68 Camaro mods... Everyone has seen 69 camaro mods bc everyone builds them... Now lets see some custom mods to the 67-68 camaros, shaved door handles, custom vallances, hoods, custom tail lights, billet grilles, 2" and 3" drop springs, different gas caps and brands. Mainly, i would like to see different vallances with intercooling set ups and 69 camaro fog lights... and opinions such as 67 or 68 camaro rs tail lights... which do we prefer? And something you dont see much of... exhuast choices, tips etc. Personally, im building a 68 camaro forged ls2 d1 procharged and intercooled... i will get pics up as soon as i get the engine back from the shop... let me know what you think. thanks

I don't like looking like everyone else and there's not many hood options....I went with a Stinger hood like used on 67 Yenkos and 68 Baldwin/Motions (only seen one other one in person). I also deleted the rear spoiler (something else almost everybody has)
I cut my front springs 1 full coil and dropped it 2.25" (looks alot better now)
There is a company (forget name)that's grafting the 69 lower valance to a 67/68 for the marker lights and deleting them in the grill.

Yeah its a cool blue.. too bad im tearing it down to redo it. Im thinking more of a deeper darker blue, maybe cobalt or ultrasonic or electric blue. I pulled it all apart going threw everything. i should make a thread on it... hotchkis 3 inch drop springs, ls2 forged d1 procharger, intercooler, ported head, ported supervic intake and elbow, 90mm polished tb, dougs headers, msd coils, 6 speed.. I might do DSE mini tub... sucks to cut frame rails, then i wanna run a rs grill, possibly billet, and sequential tail lights, i bought a DSE heater box delete panel.. lot of work that im doing myself. but No im not but i was thinking bout it. IS it pretty good over there?

Much more "grown up" and personally I like it....no cussing,no street kill stories, and such....check it out, lots of build stories....My favorite is a thread "turning swiss cheese into a Camaro". http://www.camaros.net/forums/showth...t=swiss+cheese

Go check it out and look around.

Not at the moment money is stoped currently. My son will be here within the next week so a lot of my time/money has been put there. I am runing the prodigy 4 link setup. Its made by airride. It came with the shell when I bought it. I think prodigy charges somewhere around 1600-1800 for the whole set up. Dont quote me on that though.

Yep the actual frame had to be cut down and narrowed some. Also as for the grills I like the look of the all blacked out. It really depends on the car. What color is the car/ or are your going with? Do you plan on having black trim or chrome trim for everythnig else?

Im thinking of a blue.. electric, 350z blue, ultrasonic, or cobalt... I wish they made a black billet grill... it has cleaner lines than stock.
