The Camaro Club (UK)

Thanks to those of you that have followed along on my build thread here:-

http://www.classiccamaroclubuk.com/phpB ... f=11&t=151

Thanks also for such great comments, they're greatly appreciated. Well, it's come to that time where the project is just about finished after a good few years locked up in the garage. Just a bit of fine tuning, a few tweaks here & there, fit the crossram intake & it's all done. Woo Hoo!!!!

The car's been on the road for a while now in an unfinished state, shaking it down & getting to grips with it. I'm extremely happy with the way it's turned out. It isn't built to be a show car & I certainly wouldn't expect it to do well in the trophy winning department. There's very little "bling", minimal chrome, no big wheels & no fancy paintwork. What I set out to do was build a car that looked as if it's a bit of a time warp, with nothing fitted to it that wouldn't have been fitted "back in the day".

Sure, it looks pretty stock & that's the whole ethos behind a build like this. Most people won't give it a second glance when they see it as there's nothing on it that shouts "look at me". That suits me just fine :tup:. It's not what you can see, it's what you can't see that makes this car a little bit special. If anythings been added or moved, it's just been painted satin black to look as if it's all original. A case in point being the front & rear suspension, looks all stock doesn't it?? The engine also, just looks like a clean, fuelie headed 302, nothing special to look at at all. All very understated. Again, the interior is just as GM intended apart from the roll cage & a couple of additional gauges to keep tabs on what's going on in the engine department. It's really a bit of a "plain Jane" car.

I've been asked quite a few times now which shows I'll be going to with the car, unfortunately its show duty will be minimal. It's built as a driver & a strong track competitor & to say I'm pleased with it is somewhat of an understatement :pmsl:

Thanks for taking the time to follow the journey of the cars build & finally,
here's some pics of the finished article:-










































Thanks, cheers....Nige

Thanks for the positive comments guys, really appreciated, here's a few more,

I was asked what the badge was on the front fender, so here's an arty farty close up, plus the one in the rear window. For those that don't know, Nickey were renowned for building extreme high performance Camaros back in the day along with Yenko & Baldwin Motion.
