Nice work. You should post this in the "Conversions & Hybrids" section. Am sure that everyone there would like to see your conversion. That car is sweeeeet!

Let me know.
Nice looking car!
I would love to have those! Mine are so ruined. I was thinking about buying some. Are the GTA and Camaro ones the same?

Great car. What a great combo. They shoulda made that from the factory. Very nice detail work. Straightline is a great shop, I should know they do all my stuff. Mikey can probably do the cam swap with a blindfold on and in his sleep. He knows his **** no doubt. I'm gonna have to stop up and check out your ride.

Went to the track today (my second time ever) and ran a 13.96@108.46 with the Camaro. Pretty happy with the results so far.

Brought the Camaro to New Lenox to get the cam done. The guy who met me this morning was really correct so Im glad I went to Straightline to get this done. I feel the car is in safe hands.

Do you guys race around here on weekends? I'd like to see how the car does after the cam

Straightline does good work. As for racing, people either go to 66 or 41.

Or the street, if you know the right people. >_>
