Default Re: Woodfin's 4th gen Camaro no-box package

I like the appearance of this 95 Camaro and the "newer" bodies are easier to find in good condition. Plus, the pricing for a core car is very reasonable. In addition, the engine set back and 101" wheel base makes for excellent drag weight bias. Plus they have a good aero shape.

Yet, even with all those advantages I fretted and fretted over the poor access at the rear of the engine. Some for you may have experienced this same fretting with other situations.

I have good news! It is a big advantage to build a dedicated, trailered race car because the street equipment is no longer and issue. Some creative "carving" around the wiper linkage and cowl area will be a big help with engine access.

This photos shows the V/6 still in place and you can get an idea of what it will look like with the cowl trimmed back to the windshield. Then under the windshield trimmed back to the firewall.

Stand by for more.
