Hi : I have been down this road quite an few times and have learned from my mistakes. The first and biggest mistake bing the lack of a written plan and budget. I have searched the net and have not been able to find any free Project plans that would help me write out my plans and buget for them.
So does anyone here have one that they could post?
Thanks for any help

Well, I do not have a "project plan" , but I do offer free technical calls on Monday and Thursday nights, and Pro Touring Camaro's are our specialty. While i do not limit the subject matter (many still call me with original restoration questions of which I have forgot many of the answers), we are best suited for questions directly relevant to modified ProTouring, Street / Drag, etc. We are working with dozens of builders and owners all over the world helping advise on correct component selection to achieve ones goals and budget.

Feel free to call four zero seven 832 1752 5PM to 10PM eastern Monday or Thursday

XLEXUS- Brainstorming like many members do so well on this website is a good first step. IMO the quintessence of "pro touring" that "pushes the envelope" on what can be done to a camaro is at www.officialbaldwinmotion.com (http://www.officialbaldwinmotion.com)

LOL! Theres "pushing the envelope", or "getting edgy" and then there is "falling over the edge". We pushed it with Project Prodigy we will admit, but that last Motion convertible..................................

the convertible at SEMA last year was not "raising the bar", at least not in the opinion of a single person I spoke with. That thing was goofy at best.

Jody- GM must like "goovy" because they gave it the "GENERAL MOTORS BEST DESIGN" award at the SEMA Show. :hurray:

The Motion Camaro is a SnoopDogMobile. Too much bling.

No, that award went to the red coupe Time Machines built for 2005 SEMA. It was out there, but the yellow car was MUCH more out there.

means nothing. And like Frank I think that was the year before for the red coupe. Everyone I talked to at the show was laughing at the car. Way overdone, no flow, rear of car was like a cartoon, and the exhaust and hood hinges............. well, I'm not going any further.

Honestly, you are the FIRST person I've heard of that liked it. I liked the original car they did the year before, but the convertible............... :wacko:

JUST MY .02 I was born and raised in NY, During the late 80's GN mustang days I spent quite a bit of time @ Motion. I know many of his Ex Empolyees from the 60-70 and 80's. His cars have always been a bit over the top visually.
In the late 80's and 90's he had a monte SS and some Iroc's mustangs and GN's all were a bit "Gordy" flashy. That had become his style and you can see much of it in the new coup and convertable. This is his style and give it or take it it is what is is. Most of the people who are intereseted in these cars are buying them for investment value anyway. To me the "Mule" is the best example of a protouring camaro

A little late, but I have always loved all of Motion's work. I like to think of it as in the sense of all those runway models wearing dressess that no one would ever wear or buy, but someone has to set the standard of what all of us common folk would dream about. That said I like my PJ camaro and the fact that it has a BB under the stock PJ hood. No bling, no fanfare and with grey 70 series rims, a real sleeper.
