BODYWORK/TRIM

During its thorough reboot this solid old panther was entirely disassembled and carefully stripped of its dull original pigment. Once that prep was complete an incredibly straight fuselage was augmented with a bit of fresh sheetmetal. As that massaged sheetmetal featured better-than-factory alignment a rich coat of Charcoal Gray 2-stage was detailed with orange pinstripes and a Satin Black top stripe. When that pigment dried labor-intensive hours were spent buffing a spectacular shine. And today this handsome Chevy walks a fine line between tastefully modern and traditionally conservative.

General Motors envisioned the F2 Camaro as a working mans Ferrari and thanks to a better timeframe and bigger budget effectively addressed many of the complaints enthusiasts had about the F1.

At the front of this coupe a stainless-trimmed grille hangs a bright SS emblem and broad chrome bumper in front of clear parking lamps a factory chin spoiler and stainless-trimmed H4 headlights. Behind that grille a smooth hood founds tinted and stainless-trimmed glass between hidden wipers and body-matched mirrors. At the sides of that hood a clean fuselage keeps extraneous bits to an absolute minimum framing factory door handles in straight rocker trim and flush marker lamps. And at the back of that fuselage a Satin Black valance centers a chrome trunk lock and LED taillights between a low-profile ducktail and second broad bumper.

Check the cars clean Satin Black engine bay and youll find a 396 cubic inch Chevrolet big block that ups the no replacement for displacement ante by a .030 overbore. Unlike those homogenized LS motors which seem to be the only pro-touring builds getting any respect this Chevy Orange stalwart is a pump gas torque monster thats just as comfortable cruising country roads as it is lining up at stoplights. At the top of the block a chrome Chevrolet-branded air cleaner feeds breeze in to a modern Holley 4-barrel. That perfect air/fuel mixture flows in to a familiar Edelbrock intake which is centered between finned bowtie-branded valve covers. At the back of that intake a modern HEI distributor sequences spark through pliable plug wires. Below those wires ceramic-coated long-tube headers funnel spent gases in to a large-diameter true-dual exhaust system. At the front of those headers traditional V-belts spin a rebuilt alternator opposite a chrome-capped power steering pump. Cooling comes courtesy of a lightweight Engineered Cooling Products radiator.
