A few pics of my car, Orion by Marquez Design

[jonny51]

SEMA just ended and I thought I would share a few pictures of my car,it is not completed yet.It was blocked once and shot with an exopy sealer.

These pics were taken outside in the parking lot of SEMA.

Looks sweet. I don't care if Fatlife says there overkill, I like the mono blocks! Wheels look sweet!

[mazspeed]

Awesome :thumbsup:

[71Nova]

I just noticed your exhaust outlets. They are very trick looking. Did you make those or buy them? What color are you going to go with? Do you have any interior or engine pictures?

[Rybar]

That looks effen sick :hail: Man the rubber and the stance is menacing! :eek: Great Job :thumbsup:

The car is being built by Marquez Design,they fabricated that.I never took any interior or engine pictures.It will be painted green with a hockey stripe.

[slck6t9]

Absolutely SWEET!!! They are doing a great job with the build. I especially like the exhaust.

I haven't been commenting much on this forum but I really have to say that the stance and the wheels and tires look absolutely amazing! The flat gray makes for a way cool sleeper effect... you sure you want it painted? How about some flat clear coat and a stealthy look? :thumbsup:

[trapin]

Jon...that's about as killer a stance as you can get. Mean looking. That's going to be a terrific car. I love the fact that you're going green too. It'll really set the car apart.

[rocketrod]

Awesome looking ride! Whatever happened to the other Camaro, after the fire, you were having built?

[907rs]

As I've said before Jonny, congrats. The recognition the car received is well deserved.

And to everyone that hasn't seen this car in person, pictures do this car no justice. You could study it for an hour and not see all of the tricks Pasqual and the boys incorporated into this thing.

[Stuart Adams]

Awesome car. Love it. Even without paint - one of the best camaros at SEMA.

[Sales@Dutchboys]

What wheels are those?

[jimhamptons]

Jon, congrats on a nice car!

[Steve68]

What are mono blocks?? what wheels are you running, they look like Fiskes, car looks awsome, what color green are you going with, Deep Fathom Green Metallic myself, 69 color, Steve

[jonny51]

Thanks for all the nice compliments!The wheels on the car are HRE 843R's.

Rod,we still are working on getting the other 69 finished and then it will go up for sale.

Monoblocks are the brakes (calipers)

[fatlife]

Looks sweet. I don't care if Fatlife says there overkill, I like the mono blocks! Wheels look sweet!
:lol:
yeah well, they kinda go with the theme of the car which is overkill but hey its definetly killer! IMO its too low but man is that a nice car. I am really impressed, that is definetly what a high-end PT car should look like, not these over-the-top street rods that we see so often these days. Marquez really outdid themselves and is showing that they are really a high end shop! I was really impressed by the engine bay too(post some pics of that too). Man I might be leghumping here so you might want to copy and paste this post and put it in the archives but that is a badass car. Even if it is more of a trophy than a street machine(maybe its both?). I like it :thumbsup:

[youthpastor]

Ditto! killer car, stance and wheels are everything!! :thumbsup:

[rwhite692]

Jon, It really looks great. I was blown away with the work that Pasqual and his guys have done on the radiator support, the tight panel gaps, and with the front and rear bumper mods. Awesome work everywhere you look on this car....and it's not even finished yet! ...Boy, I can't wait to see what kind of car you'll build for Quinn someday! -Rob

[BC69]

Awesome! I LOVEEE the exhaust!!! That just looks for professional and seemless!! Really a great job!!!

The welds on the intake and manifolds are swweeeettttttt :thumbsup:

[Huxsol81]

Jonny,
your car is right on in my book! :thumbsup:

[Datsbad]

Johnny , I wanted say simply awesome . I loved the wheels(I wonder why?), brakes (again ???) , the cage, the interior etc... Boys seems like I saw that all somewhere before... :lol:

I really doubt that you will be driving it at the "show stance" but it sure looked great sitting there.
The Turbo exhaust was amazing along with the front rad support .
The rear exhaust was great also , definately one the highlights on the car .

I do have to say that I am surprised that unfinshed cars are allowed into SEMA and that you would want to show it unfinished.

Either way great car , I also like the green paint !

[Datsbad]

Post up the front and rear tire/wheel sizes when you can
Also is that a Alston front chassis?
And what size are the turbos?

[camcojb]

I'm pretty sure the car will be driven at that height. The front fenders were modded (two fenders to make one) and the rear inner fenderwells were sectioned to all the wider track width and complete tire clearance at that height.

The front subframe is one of the rare Wayne Due subs he did before closing that uses DSE components but allows the 275 front tire clearance.

Wow , I looked undeneath and it sure didnt have much ground clearance.
Either way , Nice car for sure. It has many touches I like :thumbsup:

I had thought that Pascual told me that it was at the ride height they were going to use, but I could be wrong.

[Stuart Adams]

Johnny, clear out your PM box. Great car. Sits very agressive and is "All Business."

[DRJDVM's '69]

Absolutely awesome. You have to see the car in person to really appreciate alot of the subtle mods Pacual did and the craftsmenship that has been put into this car.

It was great to meet and talk to you at the show too.

Ned

[crc]

Jonny,

It looks great as is! I might be coming in late, but are there any build photos?

Jason, how ya doing? Good to meet you at SEMA. No time to talk, maybe next time.

Alot of cars are not finished totally, the business represented at the booth is what SEMA is about. If the business has a unfinished car at their booth that is their option. It seems weird but its not a car show, the cars come with a business or theme or manufacturer. Last year Blowfish was all metal and not even close to being done.

Your car would look good there! Its an awesome car.

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Well......I dont really care what people are saying if I were him....Even though he got some ideas from another car...I think they are put together better than anything ive seen so far...

[Datsbad]

I agree, very well thought out car. I love it.... :hail:

[JayR]

Mean and nasty!!! And the wheels and stance are KILLER!!
Great work, Pasqual and congrats on the SEMA debut, Jonny!

[Ummgawa]

Pictures simply do not do justice to how wicked Johnny's car is. I could not be more serious.

[XcYZ]

Jonny,

It looks great as is! I might be coming in late, but are there any build photos?

Jonny has thousands of build shots and we'll be putting together something really cool on the build of the car that will show the countless mods. This list of mods is pages long. The craftsmanship that Marquez showcased on this car is on par with anything at SEMA. It has to be studied to be appreciated. :thumbsup:

Thanks Scott. I can't wait!

[Streetking]

Beautiful car. When I met Pascual 2 years ago, I knew he and his guys had the "passion" it takes to build cars like this. To me, this car is over the top and in a class of it's own. Cars like this are cars that you go look at, think about it, go look at it again and everytime you study it, you see more. It's not a "in your face" show car, it's a work of art. Congrats Johnny, it's beautiful.

I do have a a problem with Pascual, he is a lightweight, going to bed at 9:00pm in Vegas?? :D

SW

[jonny51]

Thanks again guys.I knew we had a cool car but never expected the response we got.Pascual and the guys have a great future.I do not have any interior or engine shots,I guess I zoned it.Here are some Scott shot.

[3kidsnotime]

The car is looking KINGPIN I like the epoxy look on it now..... A real killer when done im sure :thumbsup:

[fatlife]

what the hell is "kingpin" is this some surburbian word you hear your students saying?? :_paranoid

[rocketrod]

Wow! Those engine bay shots are incredible! :thumbsup: I love the DSE hinges in black. Nice touch with the radiator support closeout panel and the custom radiator support braces! What color did you shoot the fenderwells and firewall?

I should be out in Sacramento next year, maybe we can do lunch and you could show off your ride. I promise not to drool all over it!

[3kidsnotime]

what the hell is "kingpin" is this some surburbian word you hear your students saying?? :_paranoid
Sorry im must be dumb old and stupid im sure, Just an old word I have used for something that is done quite well..... I have used it for 20 plus years I did not mean to offend the skilled pro's :( Students???? im not a teacher.... im a builder There are 37 magazine articles on me saying I might be getting close.......

[fatlife]

I wasn't offended, just never heard of such a funny word, and I noticed you use it a lot. :cool:

[3kidsnotime]

I wasn't offended, just never heard of such a funny word, and I noticed you use it a lot. :cool:
Not so funny to some I think I actually picked it up from some friends at gm proving grounds quite a while back

[fatlife]

I like the fact that there is no T.V in this car :lol:

[TonyG]

Mother of God! It will be a force to be reckoned with. Now, if you will just paint it anything other than green..lol.. I would say flat black and let it ride!

Absolutely beautiful.

[awr68]

Jonny, it was great seeing the car and spending quite a bit of time with you and the Marquez boys. The car is a work of art and truely does need to be seen in person (a few times) to be fully appreciated...man they do killer work!!

Also, I wanted to mention that Pascual and his team are not only great at what they do, but also the nicest guys you could meet. Even after the SEMA thrash to get the car together and to the show, the dinner partys, and being at the booth all week, at closing time at SEMA yesterday they were still answering peoples questions with smiles on their faces! This is the kind of people it takes to 'make it' in the industry and world! Congrats to all that helped with the project, we all loved it!!

[Musclerodz]

Very clean Jonny. I like the idea of green. It goes with the rest of the car and will stand out in the sea of Camaros.

Mike

[judd]

Jonny, The car turned out great. I just wanted to tell you guys I had a great time. The bad thing is, I was just thinking of the parts I could have bought for the money I spent. Good thing SEMA is only 1 time a year.. See you at the same place next year.... Good luck. Clayton

[Diognes56]

Looks awsome :thumbsup: .

David

[jonny51]

Post up the front and rear tire/wheel sizes when you can
Also is that a Alston front chassis?
And what size are the turbos?

The Front's are 18x10 with 285/35/18.
The Rear's are 19x12.5 with 345/30/19.
As Jody said it is a WD sub with DSE parts.
The turbos are precision 61mm.

Thank you.We have over 3000 build pictures,after I sort through them Scott is going to be doing a page on the car.

[race-rodz]

green is the perfect color for the car.... how much time do they have into the car??

[quadfather]

i saw it at the show . it does look mean , lots of neat little touches . i like the panel under the rear as well as the front lower grill . where that piece come from ? was it hand made? THE HOOD LATCH WAS COOL TOO. :hail:

[XcYZ]

Thanks Scott,damn I didn't realize how dirty it still was until I saw your interior pics lol

lol, it wasn't dirty at all, the flash on the camera just gives a lot of contrast on the black.

Quadfather, Marquez Design hand built all of that. Wait until Jon posts a list of all the mods. It's nothing short of incredible, especially considering the thrash those guys put in.

[jonny51]

Thanks Quadfather,as Scott said Marquez built it all.That mod is actually the first mod he did over 2 years ago,infact i think Jody's old car had a version of it.The hood latch is from a VW.

[InMotionJosh]

What wheel and tire combo is that.....sizes?

[jonny51]

Yeah we have atleast 3000 pics to sort through.No plans to do a build book.

Mike,I guess everything is For Sale but it would take alot for me to part with it.

[slownova]

off the top of your head do you know what all it took to fit the 345s? awesome car man.

[Stuart Adams]

You have to modify the inner fender.

P.S.

I like the pedals....

[jonny51]

It was mini-tubbed with the standerd 3" dse kit.Then added another inch on the outter side.Next the leafs were ditched for a quadralink,the frame was C-notched to get that ride height.

[JohnnyGMachine]

I can'ty say enough good things about the guys at Marquez Design. It couldn't be any more appropriate to have the word "design" in the title of their company! It's always a pleasure being a small part of a build and working closely with Pascual on a project since he and I think alike..more like Pascual thinks like a designer and can actually make it! I've been designing and styling cars from diecast, to toys, radio control stunt vehicles and been involved and still am with designing real cars and when I see something Pascual has in the works I learn something from him and/or get really inspired. Everytime I hear "Hey John, you gotta see what we're workin' on next..." I know I'm gonna see or hear about something different and something exciting. The guys from Marquez are Muscle Car Visionaries and they will never be the ones following the pack. It was also great seeing the Marquez gang at SEMA. Jonny's car is nothing short of phenominal in every aspect. The car definately carries a theme, it's clean, well thought out, and it captures your attention for more than just a minute. You could spend atleast an hour going over this car looking for all the little "surprises".
Congratulations Jonny and Marquez Design for getting the car to SEMA and building such an awesome machine. Chris and I are probably 2 of your biggest cheerleaders! Thanks for opportunity to be able to be a small part of your success, I look forward to the next time.

Well done,
John

Jonny,
WOW! This camaro, in my mind, sets a new bench mark...its absolutely nice

Do you plan on beating this car up on the road course?

[61Bubbletop]

Yes, this car is full of little details that you really have to study to appreciate...the fact that many don't notice them is a testament to the worksmanship and design....badass car.... :thumbsup:

[HRBS]

Are those billet marker lights (on front fender) or stock ?

Jonny,

Thanks DJW32!
I plan on taking it out to thunderhill a couple of times.It is more of just a street car.If I were to do multiple racing events I would get a C5 or C6 vette.

[jonny51]

They are billet,it is part of Marquez Designs (http://marquezdesign.com) billet line.

I think one of the guys at Marquez built them. I could be wrong....

[jonny51]

who made your headers for the car the are awesome :hail:

Actually they were built by a guy named Ryan who has a shop at Infineon.His mother passed away when he was building them,needless to say he had to stop before he finished.Joe at Marquez design finsihed them up.

Kurt,
It was nice meeting and talking to you at SEMA.The car is being plumbed right now.It will be a complete driver then it will get torndown.There are a few issues that need to be addressed on the body as well.
I talked to Pascual today and we are going to decide what show's we are going to do.I am considering the power tour,I need to look into it more.
Thanks for the compliments Im glad you liked it.

Jonny this was absolutely my favorite car at SEMA this year. I know it's not finished but I just love that raw look. I love all the details that can't be seen at first glance. You've inspired me to get back to work on my project.

[Tom Fuehrer]

Jonny, Maybe somebody else already mentioned this but I think the added grill opening below the front bumper is perfect!

The rear pan and tailpipe treatment reminds me of Sick Fish but it is executed just as well. Very nice tie-in with the rear diffuser.

Don't be surprized if there is a '69 up in Minnesota that mimic's your mods someday (not Scott's either!).

Thanks for the inspiration.

[hectore3]

I'd leave it in primer.

[XcYZ]

Jon, what do you think about posting the flat black rendering? It's bad ass and I know it would be a hit. :thumbsup:

Pasqual PROMISED me a cool shot of the car in the shop. I nailed a great engine shot and with the rendering I will run a full page on your ride. :)

That car is sick and makes mine look pretty damn simple..

Awesome ride!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[will69camaro]

That is an awesome car man, best stance and look i've seen yet. I really like the black/flatblack rendering. That's the color combo i was considering for my car before i picked up another Hugger orange car and decided to do HO on this one. I really like it and keep us posted on even more progress...I love those tips and the mod to the lower valence on the back.

[jonny51]

Thanks!
We are going through all the build pics now and Scott will be putting together a site.We will post the build and and update it when the car is finished.

You have to be super cool to have a car like that, for sure.

Jonny,
Do you have any pics of the turbos mounted in place without the fenders and other body work hiding them?

I'll have to look,I have 3000+ pictures to go through.

[Fracture Critical]

Jonny,
thank you. Is there any concern about the paint or hood being distorted from the heat of the turbo? What is the point of the ripples in the tube from the header to the turbo?

Thanks again

There inconel expansion joints.

[rwhite692]

Aha! I stand corrected...:thumbsup:

[clill]

My friend makes the machine that makes those expansion joints.

[Bow Tie 67]

There inconel expansion joints.

High end equipment, needed in this type of build. As an aircraft mechanic for the last 20 + years, it's great seeing this type of craftsmanship and mechanical packaging. I miss working on turbos. :(

Great car, was the roll cage custom built?

Great car, was the roll cage custom built?

It's a Chassis works prototype that Pascual designed.I am pretty sure that they are available now.

[sixtnine]

LOVE the Camaro! Correct me if Im wrong. Is that final color going to be Frost green from 1969?

[Sales@Dutchboys]

I sooo love this car It has the best stance ive seen.

[Rybar]

I sooo love this car It has the best stance ive seen.

I'll second that statement :thumbsup:

[Ricochet]

I have to say I'm pretty lucky to live about 20 mins away from Marquez Design. I was down the about 3 weeks and Jonny's car was on the lift. To be able to get under it & just see how well thought out & engineered this car is way understated. It's one thing to see it from the top - but to see it from underneath just makes it that much better. The attention to detail is about as good as it gets. Hats off to Marquez Design and Jonny for creating one of the best, if not the best overall 69's I have ever seen. Look forward to seeing it in color and completed.

Brent

[Rick D]

Hay Johnny do you know what the part # for your roll cage is? I like the way it looks in your ride and that is one of my next things to get going on. By the way your is just freeking AWSOME:hail:

[XcYZ]

Rick, call Chris Alston and tell them you want the Marquez Design 1st Gen cage. You can specify if you have mini-tubs or not, as well as tubing material.

[Rick D]

Cool Thanks Scott :thumbsup:

[Bowtieracing]

I agree this is one of the best looking camaro so far i have ever seen:bow:

Can we see some pictures of the rear panel build ? I would really intrested of small diffusior palel like you have.

I vote that you post all 3000+ pics on the internet...just a thought

[XcYZ]

Jonny sent me, what, close to a thousand pics of the build - and that's not all of them. We'll be doing something really cool on Lateral-g with the pics. :thumbsup:

[Rick D]

Come on Scott we want to see those pictures :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

One thing more,is the area between gas tank and rear axle closed with this panel to block air pressure when driving fast ?

Those pics are actually of the old setup that we had at SEMA.Since then Pascual has redone the belly pan.I have not made it out there to check out the new setup but I will let you know.

[bob johnson]

I haven't been commenting much on this forum but I really have to say that the stance and the wheels and tires look absolutely amazing! The flat gray makes for a way cool sleeper effect... you sure you want it painted? How about some flat clear coat and a stealthy look? :thumbsup:

I'll second that motion

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

third it..

[jonny51]

How about you guys primer the Cuda' and the Camaro and i'll leave mine like it is.:D

:unibrow:


What's the conspiracy with leaving this car in primer!:question:

Its so perfect you would want it to show, no? Primer is finer...when you don't have the cash to paint.

I love "in the build" cars more than finished ones, they look mean and they let your imagination float. But this thing needs to be finished....to the level the rest of the car was. (to the bolts!)

The color you chose Jonny is cool, its not so dark that it would kill the details and at the same time, it looks deep enough that it will/ should reflect every one of them. I love it.

Keep it up.

My 2¢

Lead.

[Bowtieracing]

Your car will be a model that many builders will look to in the future as an example of a well thought out well done car! Simply Amazing!:thumbsup:

Hey Jonny. Did Shawn Katt do your interior?

Yes Mike,he did the complete rear seat and coverd everything else except the front seats.I'll post more pics when it is done and clean :)

I think he does great work. He did mine as well.

[Musclecar]

That is one sweet looking camaro. I can't hardly stop looking at those rear wheels you have on it. I'm assuming you have the DSE mini tubs? I'm ordering the kit to do mine this week. Can't wait to see the finished product :D

[jonny51]

Thanks Musclecar!Yes it does have a DSE mini tub but we did a bunch more mods to get the 345's with that ride height.You will need to get rid of the leafs to get the 345's in there clean.

[Musclecar]

I won't be running the 345's. I already have intro Hammer5 wheels on my car and I am sending the rear ones back so they can take the spool out and install it in a 10in rolled lip wheel which will make it 11in wide. I probably won't be able to go over a 315/35/18. They won't look as kick butt as your's do but they'll have to do :D

[Leadfoot1]

Thanks Musclecar!Yes it does have a DSE mini tub but we did a bunch more mods to get the 345's with that ride height.You will need to get rid of the leafs to get the 345's in there clean.


OK,

That one i need clarified! What do you mean by "you have to remove the leaf to get the 345's in clean". I have 345/25/20 on a 13" rim (coming in!) I tested the tires in the hole (custom tubs, like old Pro street style) and the only thing that seems to be in the way is the rear of the leaf / after housing if you will (in stock location). I have at least 1" of clearance on each side (seems to) I had some offset shackles at one point in the build but the guy who did my tubs said we would not clear with a gain of space that tiny. I sold the shackles as i had an opportunity to do so and brought the car back home thinking i had to change my rear set up. (i was prepared to do it anyway but only if i needed to)

I then tried the tires in again (mysef) and took measures, thats where i realized i probably could have used my Offset shackles!!!:mad:

The tubs are finished parrallel to the floor at the 1/4 panel (they don't curve down to the wheel lip) so i get all the space thats available to drop it on the ground.

http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/Leadfoot1969/?action=view&current=DSC05045.jpg

They are not finished yet (we kept some of the middle part of the original tub because it is part of the convertible bracing and adds/ keeps rigidity) it will be welded and finished smooth as the trunk is near perferct.

Anyway, it has been a questionning nightmare for me since i decided to order my Forgelines. I can't wait to get them mounted (maybe this week?!!!) to check this. If they don't fit, i'm going with an Airbar...If they do, i'm getting new offset shackles, ATS tall spindles to mount my Z06 brakes and SC&C A- arms with a new QR steering box.

Hopefully they'll clear!!!

How much clearance would you have needed Jonny/ or more specifically, how much we're you missing? I suppose the outer part of your tubs is kinda like mine? Whats the story...

Thats at the front of the leaf in stk location;

http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/Leadfoot1969/?action=view&current=DSC04998.jpg

And i have the same out. Thats 14.1 inch of rubber.

Thanks Jonny, and, oh, your car is Bad A$$. :bow:

:)

Lead.

[jonny51]

Lead,what i was trying to say is if you are going with a DSE minitub kit I am pretty sure a 345 will not work.If you switch to a quadralink you can get the 345 in there with there kit.Musclecar mentioned he was going the DSE route.We did the DSE mini tub kit with the quadralink but added an extra inch in the outter tub and C notched the frame.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i121/luma51/camaro/MarquezCamaro004.jpg
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i121/luma51/camaro/102_5832.jpg

[camcojb]

I had the DSE minitub kit with leafs on my last 69. I got the 345-18's from the Mule ad and bolted them onto 18X12.5" Fikses, but they did not clear the leafs. They hit hard enough that the tire wouldn't turn if you bolted the wheels down. That's with the spring offset hangers that give more clearance for the tires. 335's were fine. There is over a 1" width difference between the 335's and 345's in an 18" tire. If I would have spaced the 345's out enough to clear the leafs then they would have rubbed on the fenderwell.

The Mule cleared the 345's, but it had the quadralink. It's possible it will clear in the 20's, the tires may be a completely different width.

Jody

[Bowtieracing]

That is briljant work - again!!! Those widened deep tubs are fantastic idea.Thank you again sharing this :cheers: Could those 345 with 13" wheel be used with off set leafs ? Oh i just read jodys post.. so maybe not.

[Leadfoot1]

Neat!

And your tires don't hit the outer tub with that "slope" to the fender lip?

Lead.

[camcojb]

Neat!

And your tires don't hit the outer tub with that "slope" to the fender lip?

Lead.

I think Pascual cut and sectioned that area of the outer tub to make the inside wall a lot straighter so you could have the low ride height without rubbing. It does not have stock wheelwells under the 1/4's

Jody

[Musclecar]

How much tire will I have on the ground with the 305/35/18? Anyone know?

[Leadfoot1]

Thanks for the pic Jonny,

I now see what's been done. I can see the lip has been cut out and rewelded too, thats the thing i was not seeing fit.

Nice work.

Lead.

I just spent the last 90 minutes of my life looking at the pics

http://www.lateral-g.net/larue/

you get 1,000 pics and Johnny has 3,000 plus pics and you "Scott" put up a couple hundred. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Share the pics brother this has to be one of the baddest Camaro's i've seen.

I want more pictures. We know they exist - so you gotta share.

After seeing the pics of this car i've decided I am really going to try to find my old 67 Camaro.

Man is this car simple remarkable.

[XcYZ]

lol, Marty. Yep, Jonny and Pascual gave me a ton of pics of the car and build, I put together a good cross section of what we have. You gotta remember, of those thousands of pics, many were of the same thing from different angles. Pretty much the same as my collection of pics of my project. :D

I'll get Jonny to send some new pics to add.

[Mick Mc]

Marty
I glanced at this Camaro at SEMA and walked on. I stopped by ATS a was chatting with Tyler and he told me to go back, find Pascual and have him show me the details. (This is one of my favorite kind of cars, details that don't scream 'look at me').
I went back several times, no Pascual, but finally one of his guys said he would show me around. He showed me about a million cool things. We were crawling around on the floor in the middle of the show...

Very cool Camaro.
Big Red is still my all time favorite, but Johnny's Camaro has the coolness of the details.
The pictures on the wedsite are very helpful to pick out some of the details that fool the eyes at first glance.

Mick

Thanks Marty I appreciate it.I do have a bunch of new pics,I will post a few.We had planned to be finished by now but as everybody knows severel things came up.We hope to have it done for the powertour.

I thought I was the only one who gutted the rear deck and rear seat lean back for a stereo system. Ain't square tubbing great. :D I took an inch of rear seat lean back space just to make more room for the sub box. I won't be riding in the back seat anyway and my kids won't notice. Who am I kidding, they will probably be grown and gone before I finsh the car.:geezer:

he has the Wayne Due setup that uses stock or aftermarket a-arms, DSE coilovers, etc. and also allows a big tire/wheel up front. Unfortunately, they are no longer available.

[907rs]

If you ever do get the chance, you'd better have a couple of hours to spare, Jake. The meticulous details are all over that thing.

So... Where you talking about 2007? If so, today is Dec 19. Is there any progress pictures you could post? This Camaro is :thumbsup:

[DOOM]

This car is just off the hook can't wait to see it done, I've been following it for awhile now . I have a question, I'm starting my 69 soon and really like the way they did the exhaust . Would you know if MARQUEZ considering producing a rear valance set up like yours??? I hope this is'nt a stupid question, I no this is custom, but it would be great in a kit form!!!Once again the car is absolutly awsome:hail:
Thanx Mario

[DG.]

Really crazy car! I had not seen this thread, but really enjoyed viewing everything. I love the opening for the exhaust, the shape of it and all. :thumbsup: Not a real big fan of the taillights, also Marquez made I believe!? But anyway, crazy car, can't wait to see it finished!

Goodluck!

[Jr]

What ever happened to Orion? Finished or not?

[camcojb]

What ever happened to Orion? Finished or not?
not.......... maybe Jon can update.

Jody

[dave96dcm]

Updates?

[camcojb]

car was sold.

[fabwhitey]

Did the new owner of this car complete it ???

[WSSix]

Does anyone know what happened to the car after it was sold? Hopefully it will be finished one day.

I think it was probably one of the most inspirational PT cars and it wasn't even complete. Speaks volumes of the level of detail the car had.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

I hear it will make a come back next year...:yes:

[WSSix]

That would be cool:thumbsup:

[jonny51]

I cant wait to see that.

[Leadfoot1]

We are next year.....

???

Lead.

[214Chevy]

I'd like to know what happened to Orion and War myself. Both were some bad a$$ builds. Fabrication and the attention to detail on them were awesome.
