Default "SSAWD" Project Camaro

Hello I have decided to let the Cat out of the bag. I wanted to share our latest Project named "SSAWD"
It is a 1968 Camaro that we ssawd in half and added a 2010 Camaro rear clip, then we ssawd the roof of and made it a full time
Roadster convertible. next we we ssawd the front valance off and sectioned it so we can Fit the Large Procharger Intercooler in there.
Then we ssawd the floor out and channeled the body over a custom frame 5 Inches. Built a customer floor pan moved the front seats back
9 inches and made it a 2 seater pulled the steering column and pedals back 5 inches, layed back a custom windshield 6 inches,
We will be building a custom tonno cover with speedster humps, Building a LS motor to handle the Big Procharger,
Narrowed and mini tubbed rear end, Wide Body and ground effects kit, Oh yea Did I tell you
it will be ALL WHEEL DRIVE as well.
Get the name now.
"SSAWD" look for it late this year. may be a Sema Debut or LS Fest. I will keep you all posted.
Still have a few things to work out but it should be pretty bad......

Looks pretty cool. Keep us updated (but please quit writing 'ssawd'). How will the AWD work?

Thnx We won Best truck at Sema in the Grand Tourismo Contest a couple years ago. with this truck we built. It is a 38 chevy with 1,000 hp, gear vendor over drive, Air ride, Chopped, channeled, stretched, sectioned, ect.
Back to this project..
This is a real car I Promise. We have been working on it for about 2 years on and off.
We will be pushing hard to get it done as we have commited to have it at Sema this year. Late nights and long days are ahead.....

Based on the truck pic, it looks like this will turn out well.

Here is the rough draft of the Project. I have not desiced on the paint scheme yet but this is the first draft. I love the Hugger orange but seem like its been done alot. So I am trying to make up my mind on colors and if I want to go with graphics. I paint alot of graphics so I really think i will end up with something on it.....

Cool project. But the wheel proportions in that sketch kill it for me. It just does not look appealing for some reason. I am sure the end product will turn out great. Looking forward to updates.
