One of the guys at work said, dang man that big engine what about gas mileage. I laughed and told him if you're worried about that go get a Prius! This winter will be fun, finishing up the Camaro and getting to know the Impala intimately! Probably work on floorboards first, then move to engine bay. Like I said got a sweet running SBC which I'm going to put in my 75/80 Chevy truck which needs a motor (
money saved on a rebuild ). As for parking room, main shop is 30×46, garage is 20×25, my first shop at mom's house is 24×30, but space is starting to get tight!

That was the evolving issue, although it will soon be just me and John the issue of space will still loom. Everything I have is space limited, Vette, Camaro, Camaro, and in the I'll build it one day part of the shop, Vette, Camaro! Like I said earlier this has been on my mind for a couple of years and last year on PT my youngest hurt his ankle so Robert ( 6'1" ) crawled into the backseat of the 11 Camaro so I could get him in an out easier, yep it's time to up-size!! Here is a teaser but take off the giant cowl hood. Or maybe just back stock. Comments!!Originally posted by Dan Barlow View PostPt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

While the wheels of the first one appear to be TT2s and alot of people have them they look perfect on this car . So maybe if you find a 5 spoke that is a little different it would satisfy being just enough orininality . I like the black but I like chrome bumpers eventually . Unless you make or find fiberglass copies . To me it seems like everyone has a traditional cowl induction hood . Even on non chevies . But if you could put some 68 -69 chevelle hood bulges in the hood or possibly 1st gen camaro hood vents , I think that would help break up the large expanse of hood and not be like everyone else . When the red vette got its body crack up I went looking for a 66 impala to put the suspension under ( a bro. In law has a nice unrestored 66 caprice ) but everything was out of my price range or the condition was too rough . In the end the non rust charactoristics of another C4 won out . This will be fun watching you work though !Previously HoosierL98GTAComment

Thanks for the opinion! I have always been a little reserve and have kept the stock appearance on my other rides it's just the way I like them but this time I going to deviate a little, not hard core custom but a little deviation from stock. Got a while to really nail down the final appearance while the engine, drivetrain, and suspension are pretty much decided, so like I said all comments are welcome. Yeah I think this will be a fun build stepping out of my keep it original thought process.Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

Going up to the lake to bring home the new addition to the fold, a friend in Montgomery had went and got it on his rollback for me. But sitting here I was thinking, it doesn't have a name! One friend said Road Hog. You all I feel have a warped mind like me so throw me suggestions, six pack to the winner!Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23
