For me personally, I like the look with the Cragars better but either way, really nice job with the car.

I can't make up my mind if I like the Cragars or slots best. It looks great with either. I love this car.

I like both, obviously... The slots look meaner, the Cragars look classier. I want a different set of front runner 15x4 Cragars. If anyone has a set they'd part ways with, I could be a buyer. The Cragars I have were restored and the guy who restored them put new hoops on them. The holes for the valve stems are not in the correct spot which puts excessive pressure on the valve stem.

It looks like a street "Panther", on the prowl for it's next drag race meal... This is a super cool pic and angle.
Owning another LA, Granada Gold '67, you have set the bar very high for what I hope for with mine.

This car takes me back to the mid-late 60's when make it faster was all that mattered, wrinkle wall slicks would make it complete for me. I can picture trolling 4th St. for the next victim.
When the Yenko cars arrived in town we didn't give much notice knowing they were no challenge for our home built hot rods.

Nice work Chuck!

Thanks Mitch! It really does look like a wild animal stalking it's next prey.

Thank you for Sharing Bob. Compliments like that from guys who lived it are especially meaningful. I was born in the wrong era, I would've loved seeing stuff like this on the street...

For a person too young to have lived the glory days of hundreds of muscle cars roaming the streets, you certainly NAILED the day 2 look, congrats.

My reference to a Panther was a nod to what these cars were called for a long time while in development. Yours being a very early build came close to it.
"On June 28, 1966, the name Panther was officially changed to Camaro."
Interesting article about this here;

Thanks for sharing! I have read this story before... "What's a Camaro?" "A small, viscous animal that eats Mustangs."
