LS7-Powered '67 Camaro And Other Cars... Pics-----> (56k, Not So Much)

So the guy that is painting my GN has some pretty cool works in progress in his shop at the moment including a VERY nice LS7-powered '67 Camaro. I took some pics of it along with the other cars being worked on when I dropped off my car this afternoon.

Car # 1 (Owned by a local ban president)

I can make that happen!

Here's the car when I purchased it back in 10/2008. It looked like this until noon today when I dropped it off at the body shop...



















Between Noon & 4:30 ppm, it changed in appearance a bit...










This time around, it's mostly cosmetic changes / upgrades. The car is getting torn apart and painted allllll black. There will be a few cosmetic changes made. No emblems or moldings will be going back on the car. The gauge on the hood is going away. I also have a HID headlight conversion and the LED tail light kit for the car. All of the lenses will be tinted and possibly the headlights as well. The Monte Carlo SS style exhaust is getting canned and a more stock looking cat-back is going in its place. Plus any needed gaskets and seals are getting replaced.
For the interior, I hope to get rid of that horrid digital dash and get my GNX cluster installed along with the 3-gauge pillar replacement and the 2-gauge console pod. I decided instead of going with the original Stewart Warner gauges used in the GNX that I would go a more custom route using gauges from Speedhut. This way my dash gauges will match the pod gauges. And they will have a stock-looking, yet custom-touch appearance to them (if that makes any sense). Also, some stereo work may get done in this stage as well.

The bulk of the work will be exterior with some minor interior. Later on, once I decide what route I want to go from a performance angle, I'll start that stage. And the interior will be redone later on once I decide what seats and console I will ultimately use in the car.

The Road Runner should be sweet when complete.

I like the amount of dynamat used in the LS7 car, that thing should be all kinds of quiet.
