I'm envisioning an engine bay that all you see is a motor (cleaned up of course) with just body colored coverings all around it that are seamless. As much work as you've spent making the car look like it was all made from one gigantic block of metal (or fiberglass) I think that would set off the engine bay nicely.

Great car, though. I've been subscribed for a long time. I love watching this build, it's very inspiring!
thanks
i was going 2 do as you are saying
but i didn't want it 2 look like i was trying 2 hide anything like when some people make a cover for the entire engine bay with just the engine showing

and maybe thats were the twins will go down the line

Yeah, I guess that option would work too…IF you're into that sort of thing. LOL

I've loved the build, not only from an f-body point of view, but you've got a lot of great ideas that would work on old muscle as well. That car's going to look great at any show you put it in! The skill is top notch!

Gotta say it's not my favorite mod to a Camaro..... and I'll leave it at that.

HOWEVER.... I respect anyone that can pull off fiberglass work. Stuff is harder to work with than a lot of people think, it gets expensive, and it's very time consuming. Also, to undertake a project of this magnitude is respectable in it's own. Most people would give up not even halfway through something like this, and this thread alone proves that you're in it for the long run, and I can't knock you a bit for that. Best wishes for it to come out exactly as you hoped for.
