Ha ha ha, yes a slightly ironic point that Rod! Lets hope he has more fun with the Camaro!

Jesus Dave, just clicked it is near same colour as that headache you/we were working on at Festival. Yours is a real car with real engine. Bet you can start this one real easy, and it sounds right as well. You said it was coming on, but mate this is just amazing. Can't wait to see it in real life.

Latest pics from Dave. The Camaro looks stunning! The motor has gone back in, soon she'll get fired up for the first time.

Here are the latest pics of Dave's Camaro. Dave has been busy with lots of non-racing related stuff the last twelve months, plus he has been working on a couple of F5000 cars for customers, so the Camaro has taken a back seat. But he is getting back into it now.

The car looks good with these wheels on it, and when you think about it, these are the correct wheels for a '67 Camaro, as Minilites didn't really come on the scene until 1969. Regardless, it looks great with either set.

Its been almost a year since there were any updates to this build thread. Car owner Dave was trying to get the car completed for the 2013 New Zealand Festival of Motor Racing, but when he ran out of time, the build was put on pause. With a couple of other little life drama's, he has only just recently started getting back into it, but expects the car to be up and running for the first time in a couple of months. This is how it looked earlier this year.

Final colour is a closely guarded secret Mike. I don't think even Dave's wife Shelley is allowed to know!

You really have to admire the work of a craftsman when you see what they start with and how it ends up.

Great looking car Dave - do we know the final colour yet ????

And further more Steve, he's already entered and paid up for Denny Hulme!! that's the kind of HMC commitment i luv from you all!! offcourse others have going cars and will leave it too the last minute!!

But yes, amazing job and this Camaro will certainly be spectacular!!

Nearly ready to start applying primer to the outer shell.

by **Steve Holmes** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 4:05 am

Looking much nicer!

Check for clearance, by chucking a fat Minilite and Goodyear tyre up underneath.

With paint removed, the rear quarters and wheel openings are showing signs of a couple of pretty hoary looking repairs.

After some hammer work and a bit of welding, things are looking better.

More updates on Dave's Camaro. Its currently at the painters, getting the final body prep done. Its also getting the last of that hideous yellow paint removed.

Whether its mechanical fuel-injection or multi-carbs, its all pretty horny to me. Both set-ups are fairly pricey and a bit tricky to set-up, so I have a lot of respect for anyone going down either of these paths. I don't know much about Crower, is it quite similar to Hilborn? But its a very nice old-school set-up. Dave has to run very short trumpets, due to him having to use the original cowl hood. But its definitely some nice eye-candy.

I agree - a set of horny carbs sitting on a big manifold beats a few tubes connected to the intake trumpets anyday.
