ZLP955 Racing BITD

Great story on your car...... I have always wondered where some of the cars I owned or bought came from.

[ZLP955]

Thanks Bob - yes, if only they could talk......
Warren - saw that tracking update too. Funny, it often takes as long to move out from Sydney into the regional warehouse for final delivery, as it takes to get down here from the US. But getting close!

How it all going with FIASCO Tim is it painted yet , still cant believe you have it Down Under awesome  Ric.

Thanks Ric. Have made some progress but still not yet ready for paint. Too many other things going on to devote much regular time to it for now, but still getting stuff done.
I did a small update in the last week to the thread over at Yenko.net, as I found the remains of a ‘Dyno Tuned by Fiasco Automotive’ decal on a quarter window, and now believe the lettering was sponsorship for that company, rather than the car’s name. Neat to find the link, and the original owner lived in the same part of L.A. (North Hollywood) that the Fiasco shop was in, so makes sense now.

very cool update. Does that mean you may lean towards that fiasco paint theme?

[ZLP955]

Definitely doing it per ‘71 scheme, i.e. photos at start of this thread.
Here’s the update, from post #12 on: https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=153095&page=2
I hesitated to post any more updates here, because going with a day 2 build rather than stock doesn’t seem to align with intent of the site. Thoughts?

Well I haven't followed the Yenko thread, but I think The wild orange paint scheme with the decals and drag strip build would be awesome, even with the "Camaro" on the front spoiler. That is Camaro history to me. What a great car and story. Is that decal going to be reproduced and in one of your windows?

[ZLP955]

I may have confused you Austin? Am planning to paint the original CS with black stripes, then apply black vinyl wrap (excellent suggestion by Warren) to make the side panels, and include the vintage race decals shown in the yenko.net thread. So car will look as close as possible to the Petersen Archive pictures, not in the ‘second’ sunburst red paint scheme that was partly still present when I bought it. It’ll mimic the AHRA Formula Stock version, not the NHRA E/MP version with mini tubs, hood scoop, etc. Hope that makes sense?

I got it now, still cool with the throw back features of bitd. Your living the dream of having a 1 of a kind Camaro. wtg
