This is where Star Wars comes to life again..... "Clone Wars"... ;) Or it reminds me of the movie Mars Attacks for some reason... everything looks real at first.

No... seriously....

it is cool to know that you can now build a new camaro with all new repro part's ,, awesome car !

only one thing I see that it would look better with , you kept a pretty much stock theme on all the trim and emblem's I would add the factory style rocker spear's it would complement the other trim , GREAT JOB ! :yes:

Re: 69 dynacorn camaro completed

Honestly from my perspective as a paint and bodyman with 23 years of experience,this project was a huge undertaking.All of the panel gaps needed attention,some were sliced and moved,some had to be welded and ground to the right width.Would I do it again...sure now I know what I am in for....for panel alingment,bodywork,blocking,paintwork was about 500hrs.

This is a customers car but the 502 seemed to run well..around the block and in the shop.I would have loved to test it for wind noise on the highway.It has a 4l80e automatic,aftermarket 12 bolt,and a chris alston chassis works subframe with rack&pinnion steering.
It doesn't make sense why he wanted a Z with a big block and a blacked out tailpanel....but he is the owner.

The drip rail chrome is a problem,that is the one thing that did not get test fitted..we are going to have to get some original moldings and the part that screws to the A pillar and see if we can make them fit.That is the worst part of the build.

Re: 69 dynacorn camaro completed

I am building a Dynacorn body from scratch. I have spent alot of time aswell working on alignment but there is nothing there that can not be corrected with a little time and effort. I am doing a bunch of modifications. Mini tubbing, shaved door handles, shaved drip rails, custom dash and console. Did you remove all the E-coating or did you scuff it real good and them epoxy prime?

Nice looking car for sure.

I see the outline of what appears to be cowl trim tag on the firewall in Pic number 3. I'd be curious as to what it says.

Just buy an original solid Camaro and not mess with all the BS. They are out there for sale every day. I took on a project that the previous owner got burned out after he replaced all the body panels from NPD, except the roof for $6000 and welded it up himself. Then I had to make it all fit and look decent. The original was so bad the ashtray was rusted away!!! After 2 years the car turned out great and a bunch of $$$.

Kinda relevant. The previous post is about the Dynacorn body.

I like to remove the coating, at least on the exterior surfaces. I'd be curious to know how much was removed on this project.
