Default 69 Camaros...has everything been done?

Ok, first off I am not bashing such a beautiful and iconic car. I get why everyone likes them. Gorgeous body, parts are cheap and plentiful, easy to work on, bolt-on hi-performance parts, etc. That and the fact Mr. Stielow is the godfather of hot rodding these things. So, my question is like the '32 highboy and the '57 Chevy...has everything been done to the 69 that we need a new, let's say, car for the next generation? Or am I way off base and there's still some work to do? I'm trying to get psychological on ya'll's asses!!

There is no limit in my opinion......as long as it made out of metal. New technologies will continue to evolve and they will continue to be applied.

Your same thought could be applied to new vehicles as well.

As long as you leave the body almost untouched, go for it with all your wild dreams. IMO. Don't out think the room.

The ideas will never end! As long as you have builders like BBT , Roadster Shop, Ring Brothers, etc.... Look at some of the stuff Rogers doing at Ironworks! The car is timeless...

When someone drops a first gen camaro body on an F1 chassis and drive train... it's pretty much over at that point.
