GAP Racing - Finished product for 2013 1968 Camaro

[GAP Industries]

Thought I would post a previous build that we finished at the beginning of 2013. The car came to us as a roller that had already had the quarters replaced. The owner had an idea for the car that included a Big Block and stock suspension. The project evolved really quickly into a really neat car.

Nice work Tim, great attention to detail. Love the tire and wheel sizing.

[U-turn]

Cool color! 528 aint no joke!

[will69camaro]

Glad to see a project posted. Can't wait to see one of your big builds pop up here. Very happy to work closely with you guys and have you be a part of my project.

Onto the car. What brake pedal is that? I love that look. Car looks great in pics and just as good in person the few times I've seen it.

Not a big fan of red, but for some reason the deeper tone of red befits the car and I like it. Nicely done!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Vince@Meanstreets]

Looking good GAP!

[meenaggie]

Will, those look like the pedals from Clayton Machine Works.

Tim, nice to see some of your other projects on the forum. I need to start a thread for my '68 camaro. 528 HP at the wheels is impressive for that combo and looks great as well!

[will69camaro]

Yep you are correct. Couldn't wait so I texted him to see what they were. May have just added another item to my build. Those pedals look amazing.

[GAP Industries]

Thanks for all the kind words. I am starting a build thread for all the large project we have going on. Just had to update my storage device for all the photos. I already spoke to Will on the pedals. They are a really nice piece.

[califconstruct]

Nice Ride.. love the detail:clap:

[Ovidiu]

That is some outstanding work Tim, car looks awesome.

Thank you Ovidiu.
I will start a thread for your car soon

[Dave95z28]

What headers are you using with the TCI subframe? What diameter are the primaries? They appear to work great to put 528 to the ground through an auto.

They are Hooker Headers. I will get you the part number tomorrow. We tried a couple different sets to find one that fit correctly.

Another killer build. Very nice.
