"This car will be Stuart’s driver while we are working on his other 1969 Camaro to be debuted in 2008"........... :lol:

LOL, that is the nicest "Temporary Driver" on the planet. I'm not gonna lie I'm completely jealous of such an incredible build, but at the same time baffled at the fact that someone can afford two complete 69' builds of that calibur back to back from DSE

[Tom.A]

Very classy car. I don't see one thing that is out of place or that I would want to change. Detroit Speed turns some killer stuff. Congrats :thumbsup:

[Stuart Adams]

Thanks. Not the best time here to drive a 69 camaro, or anything for that matter. 115 all this last week. Really frickin hot.

Yeah those are amps.

[James OLC]

I was fortunate enough to see both the '69s at Detroit Speed last month and they are both awesome in their own right.

Great workmanship and creativity. Hopefully I'll be able to see the finished product of both one day.

Jody

I need to do that sometime, looks like you guys have a blast every year. My kids will both be in college next year, so maybe I will just have follow thru and not wimp out next year.

[victionone]

Stuart,

Beautiful car. I have been keeping up with the updates on DSE's site and was wondering what that bar in the trunk between the cage was. The amp rack looks sick.

[Ummgawa]

Stu...You da man!

[JamesJ]

Finally getting there. 3 weeks to go.

I am glad to see that its almost done, because that just means that mine is that much closer... :lol: :P

[Ricochet]

Ehhh.... It's alright I guess...:rofl: Just kidding Stuart!! Looks awesome. As said before..You think one is nice...you ain't seen nothing yet!! Then again - wouldn't expect anything less from DSE.

Top shelf is right, the car is badass. Love those wheels they are my fave. What are the motor specs? Looks like an LS7 in there? Just love DSE's attention to detail.

Nice job Staurt, your a lucky man :thumbsup:

Thanks, LS7 is right. Stock motor. I'll try and get some video on July 8-9. Might be driving it to Columbus from DSE.

How far is that? Sounds like a great road trip! A good warm up for next year's Power Tour. :thumbsup:

Thanks, Recaro seats. Stock everything else besides speakers/sub.

[NovaBlue71]

Stuart, It's been really cool to see this car come together. It's really sweet to be able to have some input on what colors we have used throughout the entire car.I know you'll be happy with the mods that have been done to make this car so much cleaner and better detailed than what you started with. Looking forward to meeting you next week when you stop in. Hey is it too late to call shotgun for columbus?:yes: .Take Care Joe.

[Jr]

How is the car? Where are the finished pics?

[XcYZ]

Here you go, Stuart. Thanks!

[NovaBlue71]

Stuart,glad to hear you had a good trip up to columbus and car ran great.Nice pic's with test car looks like you and daughter had fun:thumbsup: take care Joe.

[Stuart Adams]

Thanks Scott for the pic help. Thanks guys for the comments. Visiting the shop for a day and eating and hanging with the crew was really special. There are a few awesome Camaros, Novas and Chevelles to come out of their shop in the near future.

Driving from DSE to Columbus with my daughter was one of the best experiences in my life. We had so much fun and joy.

Traveling with the crew was awesome. I can't say enough about the quality and workmanship of the guys at DSE. The car truly ran flawless and got 21mpg in the process. They really care about you and the finished product.

I will get the car at the end of July.

Enjoyed meeting alot of people at the show and seeing some great cars. My daughter really enjoyed her laps with Kyle and Stacey in their test car. I'll post more pics of the interior and stuff when it gets home. Until then I hope all is well with everyone.

[Stuart Adams]

Thanks Joe. You are an awesome painter and I enjoyed the time with you getting the paint up to snuff.

[lil427z]

thanks rick k:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[mazspeed]

Beautiful looking car. Id love to see more.

[NovaBlue71]

Thanks Stuart, It was great to see your car taking shape and finished up for columbus. I really enjoy getting to see a customer wanting to be hands on finishing up all the little details before heading out with a new project.It was time well spent buffing it out for sure.Hope you get some more time to drive it and enjoy!take care Joe.:)

Funny, did you plant a bug in my car during our trip!!:lol: It came up alot, she has always loved 69 camaros, and she wants to have one built. Maybe in time. She will drive this one some which hopefully will satisfy her NEEDS and allow my wallett to get out of the ice bucket.

[camcojb]

Stuart,

I just forwarded your car pics to Don, and that pretty much sealed it for his next color. He and I have always loved blue and he was torn until he saw yours.............:yes: :thumbsup:

Jody

[mdprovee]

Another great looking car from DSE. Congrats Stuart.

[Rybar]

Stuart, your Camaro looks killer. :hail: Love the stance, wheels, engine and paint.....well pretty much everything is perfect. DSE sure does great work and very tastefully done IMO. :thumbsup:

[tones2SS]

Very nice car.
Color, stance and wheels look KILLER!!! She came out AWESOME!!! How do you like the LS7? I would like to see/hear a video if possible.:_paranoid ENJOY!!!:thumbsup: :cheers:

[slenning]

Congrats Stuart, another first class car from DSE!! Looks great. I toured DSE late last fall and saw both of your cars being worked on. I can't wait to see your other car done. Holy #@%! Stacey told me I could look at it but if I took any pix or talked about it she'd have to kill me:lol: I think she meant it:_paranoid



Driving from DSE to Columbus with my daughter was one of the best experiences in my life. We had so much fun and joy. .
I know just what you mean. One of my sons and I did the last half of the Power Tour this year. It was great spending the time together, we had a total blast. Glad to hear you got to enjoy the same situation. Nothing better!!

[Payton King]

I met Stuart up at DSE and got to spend a little time with the car. Most picures make a car look better...not in this case. That car was as crisp as they come. Nothing I would do different.

I enjoyed having lunch with you and your daughter. You and your wife did a great job. She was very pleasant and a beautiful young woman.

Stuarts other car is what dreams are made of...

Glad to meet the bunch at DSE and have Kyle and Stacy buy my lunch, perks of hanging with Big Dog Stu.

Joe, sorry that I did not have time to hunt you down. I saw you when I first got there and then I did not see you again before I had to leave for an appointment.

[68protouring454]

great car, congrats

[wiedemab]

There were some awesome cars at Columbus, but for my taste and what I would use the car for it would be hard to beat your car Stuart.

I really like the functional OEM look that is DSE's signature. Great car!

[Bad94]

Here you go, Stuart. Thanks!

Yeah Kyle Jr. is programming the volt meter and checking the dash. Very taleneted kid and did most of the work on the car.

The other Kyle is showing friends the oil tank.

More trip and car pics for those interested.

[wiedemab]

Great Pics! I'm sure that was a fun trip. I'm jealous!

[Rybar]

Stuart, the car looks fantastic. Love all the subtle but very trick details in the engine compartment. Really like DSE's style.

BTW what type of headers are those? Are they LT's or block hugger style? They don't look familiar. Also, did you use the DSE subframe? hard to tell in the pics.

Yes, its the DSE sub frame. The headers were I think Sanderson ( not real expensive if I recall) which were modified then coated. Thanks.

I love the finished product. It's amazing how far the car came since I saw it in May. Increadible.:hail:

I noticed that you are running aftermarket fuel rails on the LS7, who's are they and did you maintain the stock injectors or have to move to the taller style?

Thanks
James

[WILWAXU]

Awesome car!

Probably one of my favorites on the site. All the bitch'n parts and a solid driver.
