Basically a box stock build with paint work and black washing. I cut the tires and part of the wheel tubs to lower the ride height. Anyone who's built one of these Camaros knows they sit high in the rear. Not esthetically pleasing. 

Valve covers were shot with gold and Alclad clear yellow for the anodized look. Four link/wheelie bars were painted Alclad polished aluminum with black wash. Rims were stripped and painted Alclad pushed aluminum as well

 

If anyone has reference of this car I'd greatly appreciate it. Wanting to know if the tin work was raw aluminum or painted matte black. 

 

Anyhow, on to the pics

Great looking build so far, can’t wait to see the end result!
Can you show pics of what you did to the tubs? Also, I think you may have made the same mistake I did on my build of this car by extending the yellow too far down the hood. I ended up not having room for the “Levi Garrett” decal on the hood and had to leave it off. Maybe check that? I’d hate to see it happen to you too.

I'll cross my fingers. I did use the decals as reference on where to stop. The part of the tubs that angle down is what I removed

Getting closer to wrapping this up. Lowered suspension to get a better ride height. Decals next and some minor details and it should be wrapped up in a day or two
