Just wanted to say hi and post some pics of my 99 Camaro. By day I work at a place called Bennett Coachworks. We have some pretty cool projects under way so I'll have to take some pics and post them.

Thanks guys! Some details about the car. I got this car to use as a nice daily driver during the Summer. I was going to add rims and exhaust and that's it. I guess Wisconsin winters are to long. I started to take the car apart to do a few more mods, and well, you get the picture. Engine got a freshen up, and I added a little more cam, headers, 3inch exaust, ported heads and intake. Since the engine was out, I cleaned up and painted the engine bay. I added better pads and rotors, adjustable shocks, bigger sway bars and springs. Since I'm a fabricator, I had to do something one-off on the car, so I made a custom air filter lid out of aluminum. (Pics below). I also built a custom strut tower support out of 1.500" moly tube. There are a few more things on the to "do list" but for right now I'm enjoying driving it.

Thanks. Bennett has a cool history, I'm having a good time working for him. We get to work on everthing from G-Machines and Hot Rods to Pebble Beach type cars. Are you from Wisconsin?

^^^^^^

Im in Delafield/Pewaukee Lake. Was down to Bobs shop years ago with my dad and one of his friends. He was having a old plane redone by them. Cant remember what kind of plane though, vintage of course.

How long you been there?
