the only thing that takes away from the beauty of the car is the riveted cowl. i think it makes the front look like crap. imo. if thats not the original cowl hood that he cut i would say put the stocker back on. but other than that car is bad ***.

The air cleaner sticks out of the hood about 4 inches, so stock hood will not shut!! This is the second motor he has built for the car and the old motor/intake combo needed a 6 inch scoop to clear. He has talked about a 4 inch scoop for the future maybe?

I am glad that he didn't do a pro touring Camaro like all these other guys that think big wheels makes the car look better!!!

But seriously whats up with that hood and "Sweet Bitch" ???

Being a musclecar guy myself, I can appreciate the time and effort that went into the build, but the "sweet bitch" comment on the spoiler is really low class.

Other than that, it's a nice ride.

Agreed. The remark takes away from the entire car, and the scoop screams pro touring but the wheels are screaming no.

Nice ride!! I echo the comments on the hood and spoiler. Also the lettering on the valve cover has to go. Not only do they take away from a great looking engine, but over time they will start to curl up and fad. Trade the slapper bars for a set of Caltrac bars, get them dialed in and his traction issues will be greatly helped out.
