Incredible looking, OP. It really modernizes the LT1 and actually looks better than the catfish front end in my opinion.

Heres another angle of my design . Due to time restraints I didnt even attempt designing a grill, just thru the Z28 logo in there for now. Im working on Marks idea now to blend the lower 1/2 of McNords design . Itll be up in a little bit.

Ive got alot of time contraints, so some of the texture and blending I had to skip over . I can go back later and refine.

DH... I had to do a Sunoco hood from scratch. Finding good REAL pics of an LT1 car with one to chop off of is, well , not happening lol .


On some classics

Here ya go Mark . This is the lower 1/2 of McNords bumper design grafted to the LT1 bumper . I threw on his wheels too ...as this was a dead stock LT1 car . I dont have time to properly color it right now , a 1/2 *** job from black to silver would look just really bad so chose not to .

Stock photo ( think this brangetas photo(been on my hd forever) , if so thanks


McNord style

Only thing I don't like is the shape of the fog light/vent hole. Instead of it being rounded like the ls cars shape it more like the outer edge of the headlight with a little point to it. I love the bumper maybe somebody can get it made.

That bumper looks way better than stock especially with the ccw's and the sunoco hood.

I'm not good with photoshop but i took an actual dick harrel camaro picture and used that bumper the best i could! I just like the edge's rounded more also the front lip looks big on the 6LE bumper but if there was a grill i guess it would be alright! It needs a billet grille for sure!

that with the grill set back a couple inches would look killer!

I'll make whatever you guys want if you have 10 pre-orders at $516 a piece... Brian (McNord) just needs a little Jack and Coke and Cash and we're good to go
