This is a modern day Camaro mechanically, in a 50 year old Classic Muscle car body, the best of both worlds. Turns heads everywhere you go!

For anyone who likes what they see, I have recently decided I am going to sell this ride. Feel free to contact me for info. I will probably place an ad on here soon.

Default heater hoses

How did you connect your heater hoses, my LS2 passenger head covers the heater outlets?

Thanks! I have decided to keep it, and now I am working on a custom interior, stereo system, and vintage air. The interior is pretty good right now, but I want to update/modernize it a bit.

No heater hoses at the moment, installing a vintage air system.
