Chevrolet Camaro MAKO1

[JJEH]

Guys,

I’m glad and proud to introduce to you my future project called

This is pretty close to what I had in mind. Thanks to Keith Kaucher (Kaucher Kustoms) for transferring my idea to paper.

The striking changes are:

Louvres in Hood
Gills in front fender
Paint job

Because it is supposed to be a homebuilt project I will not be able to build it exactly how I wanted. But it still will bring a lot of fun.

I hope I can hit the roads with it in 2014.

Let me know what you think

I like it!

Spiffy, as long as it's red, or deep blue - or maybe silver.

How about blue-gray blending into white.
I like your ride height - it would look good on 20's.

Why would being home built keep you from building it the way you want? What would you like to do that cannot be done at home?

And I forgot to mention that it looks like a beautiful project. What are your plans for the powertrain?

Thank you fellas

It's might hard to see, but it is blending into white. I chose another color as GM, simply because I don't copy. And I like this color better anyway. Also, not everything is possible on paper. So this is a pretty close rendering, but we will see how it finally comes out. The max. tire size will be 18", but I aim for 17". Why? Becuse I had my best experience with 17" wheels and wanna drive the !%#$ out of it on road and track

And I forgot to mention that it looks like a beautiful project. What are your plans for the powertrain?

Thank you dirty dog. What keeps me from building it exactly like I want it is $$$. So I have to reduce my wishlist a little bit for right now and will upgrade to a later point.

Originally I wanted to go with a 427, but I will choose a ZZ4 instead. This should be attached to a Tremec 5-speed and a 12 bolt rear end. You see, nothing fancy, I just like to build a Camaro "my way"

I have never owned a small block, but have owned my share of BIG BLOCKS with my last one being a 496ci. I love horse power and torque...says the guy who now drives a Prius. A great motor for GM based street vehicles is a 383ci with a custom crank. Gobs of torque and plenty of HP.

Have you ever undertaken a complete resto? What about body modifications? Do you have all the tools necessary?

Do you already have the car body? Hopefully you are not starting with an all original vehicle...pet peeve of mine. Nothing wrong with hacking up a car and building what you want, just don't do it to grandpa's car. Can you explain what the front end is based upon? Kinda like an RS, but it is totally different.

How many Ford parts is it going to have? LOL Nothing beats a 9 inch!

No to all of the above.

No.

Basis for the rendering is a 1973 Z28. Black headlight frames, black billet grille. And w/o side markers.

Right, I think abt. that. But it would be the only Ford part in this project
