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 ????

[Steve Holmes]

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

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.

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.

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

Acid dip it now!

[Rod Grimwood]

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.

[Steve Holmes]

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