Default 1969 Camaro LS1 T56 !!Eye Candy!!

Sorry for the crappy pics. This is a custom tube chassis 69 Camaro, Air Ride all the way around 18's front 20's out back. Paul Atkins interior. We built the motor and t56, Its a heads and cam, with rod bolts. Intake was from John Stewart at NX. We got the car back to finish wiring, and plumbing everything. The car should be on the Power Tour this year, and in a few Mags. Just thought I'd share the pics.

Thanks to John @ Speartech, and Scott Bowen @ In Tune Motorsports

Scott

Car looks amazing. Just one question, you have the maf on one of the airfilters, isn't the other airfilter going to bring in unmetered air.

Thanks for the comments. It was a really fun car to work on.

Vents: The valve covers are S&P

cook_dw: Tuner Seed in Antioch, TN

Justin @ EADPerformance: One side is a dummy. On a car that cost this much, some things are done for show. Just so that everything looks even under the hood.

Speartech: John, thanks for putting up with us calling for a day straight.

Nefarious77: I'll try to get some pics from Mark now that the front sheetmetal is on.

Will you be taking the car to any shows locally?

I'm right up the road and might make a trip down to Cleveland to check it out in person.
