I'm writing this now with sore abdominals and strained cheek muscles. Reading this thread nearly killed me I laughed so hard. This is easily the most entertaining build thread I've read on this site. It got better and better with every post. Thank you for taking the time to document this journey of yours here. I look forward to seeing the '91 Tamaro at C5FESTVI.

I guess I must have low self esteem, because I'm about to comment about how unbelievably horrible your creation is.

Your creation is unbelievably horrible.

And another thought; just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Seriously. I think some are missing the OP's sense of humor. The OP knows this thing is an abomination and that's why it's so freaking awesome and unique. How many people here can say they've made body panels?

I stand by my assertion that this is the best build thread I've ever read. Both in the spirit of modifying the vehicle, and in the format in which the OP has laid out the progression of the vehicle.

Oh, I made my own dust shields while I was at it. Why wouldn't I just paint the calipers body color too

They turned out awesome!!! And my lights, wellllll I am a god after all

Cheers to everyone and keep all the positive words coming
WOW that's quite the light show! I love the passion that you have for your project. cheers.

Yea but some are taking it to the point where its actually being rediculous. I can say Ive made body oannels, cut welded and put everything back together and mine were meant to go there and it was a feat. So for what he achieved is pretty impressive. I have got many offers to buy my camaro and i always could sell it and move onto bigger better things but i choose not to because of what the camaro community is about and the great people that are a part of it

Underglow, I don't get it!

Locally in Vegas I install well, a LOT of LED's My customers all frigin love underglow, so here you go! I am the LEDgod so instead of using regular 5050 tri chip RGB LED's I went for more power I am using 3 5M or 16ft strips of 5630 LED's. That's over 45 feet of LED's!!! They are newer and brigher than 5050's but don't offer RGB yet so I used one red, one green and one blue. Each strip pulls 7 amps of current! I made 4 lighting pod's on plastic sheets and mounted to frame of car. Did it work?

Bam!!! See pic's below

So the comments lately have been interesting Um, I like how people can at least admit they have low self esteem and poor taste

To those that have actually complemented my creation and work, thank you. I am glad it entertains others as I it does me. Recently someone in Vegas took 4 photos and posted them on a Mod Motor Mustang and some local Speed Facebook sites. Between the 2 I've gotten over 300 shares, 2000 likes and like 3000 + comments!!! My babies famous!!! Can anyone else say there car has been seen by so many and so widely?

Thanks guys!!!

Couple car's I did last week :P

First pic with MGM in background is for those that don't think I have a "real" Camaro 5 years, 51k and its probably way cooler than yours

Next pic's are of two cars I did just last week. A 2013 IOM sitting on 24's, which fit perfect and a Lexus IS350 F Sport.

And the last pic, wellllll let's just say I'm cooler than you My car with unpaid girls during a video shoot.


Video with girls...

The Work Continues

Currently teaching myself woodworking and upholstery Oddly sewing is the easy part, it's the patterns that are tricky. I have decided to go a little classier, see inspiration photos below. Door panels I am looking at a Rolls Royce Wraith. For the dash and center console, 3rd pic, I am looking at a concept car by Bugatti called the Grenier. 2nd pic is before I install the arm rest. I think I got it pretty close, with my own colors and flair

When I'm done it will be the nicest interior anyone has seen

Here's a quick video, please watch in HD to see sparkle, enjoy
