Question 69 crate Camero

Have you all seen the new 69 camero bodies being stamped? I have not read the whole story, but you can now buy a brand new steel-stamped Camero. I think its only offered as a convertable at this point but the hard top is in works. The same company is also looking at the 67-68 mustangs as soon as they work out things with Ford.

Bring $100,000 to $175,000 to the party and leave the I-6 at home.

Well, why not a muscle car in a kit? They've been making Shelby Cobra kits for decades now, why not make a kit for those unobtainable muscle cars like the Hemi 'Cuda or Camaro RS/SS? Maybe they could go on a Pinto subframe?

Hey Tim,
From what little i have read so far is the metal is a thinner guage. The panels are shipped to the Company. They are assembled in North Carolina and welded on jigs with machines. I will read more when i get my book back at work.

I had read a little diddy about this too. I think they're going for a whole new revolution kind of thing...Year One has a full fiberglass Chevy II they offer as well, and they did an incredible job with it. I think one of these kit Camaro's has been finished too.
