The car was stripped down to the bare bones and received an eight-point rollcage, subframe connectors, and mini-tubs, all fabricated and installed by Super Pro Performance in Bayshore, New York. From there, the body was shipped down to Dynamic Speed & Custom in Gadsden, Alabama, where it received thousands of hours of fabrication, bodywork, paint, and final assembly. Barry Alford and Kyle Kirkman spent a great deal of time tastefully modifying the Camaro and finishing it out with a great selection of components. To say that Douglas is detail-oriented would be an understatement, so he was intensely involved in the build process, even though the car was 1,000 miles away from his home in New York.

Underneath the Camaro is a Detroit Speed hydroformed subframe outfitted with tubular control arms, triple-adjustable Ridetech coilovers, and rack-and-pinion steering. A Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear suspension eliminates the leaf springs and the narrowed 9-inch rearend and mini-tubs provide ample room for the 325/30R19 rear tires. Braking power comes from giant Wilwood discs, while traction comes by way of Michelin rubber. One-off 18×10 and 19×12 wheels from Curtis Speed are an awesome throwback to vintage magnesium racing wheels, but they’re milled from aluminum and feature custom knock-off hubs.

Horsepower comes from an LS3-based combination from Turn Key Engines, which has been opened up to 427 ci with a forged rotating assembly. A Comp Cams hydraulic roller offers an aggressive exhaust note at idle, especially with the combination of Kooks stainless headers and mufflers, tied together by a custom 3-inch exhaust built by Dynamic Speed & Custom. Aesthetically, the LS engine is as clean as they come, with custom Billet Specialties valve covers, which also cover the coils. Behind the well-dressed LS engine is a T56 six-speed transmission, prepared by Bowler Transmissions.

When it comes to the exterior, the car still carries on the Camaro legacy, but subtle details improve the proportions and add to the car’s long list of custom details. Barry Alford at Dynamic Speed & Custom handled the body modifications, which includes tucked front and rear bumpers, one-off door handles with C6 Corvette electric latches, custom front and rear spoilers, and much more. Alford also perfected the panel gaps and straightened the body in preparation for BASF Glasurit black paint. Every square inch of the car was sanded, buffed, and polished to perfection, and carefully reassembled with beautifully finished trim from Jon Wright’s CustomChrome Plating. Dapper Lighting headlights and Marquez taillights provide modern looks and functionality.

Chip Foose stepped into the picture to help Douglas visualize the custom interior. Dynamic Speed & Custom fabricated the door panels and many other interior panels. M&M Hot Rod Interiors handled the stitchwork and covered the custom components in black leather with suede inserts and red stitching. Dynamat was applied to insulate the cabin before M&M installed the custom carpet. The center console started as a 135-pound block of aluminum and now weighs 6 pounds after Valley Tooling and Machine built it to Douglas’ specifications. Kyle Kirkman at Dynamic Speed & Custom installed the Clarion stereo system and hid the head unit inside the glovebox. An American Autowire harness feeds power to the car’s plentiful accessories.

When the dust settled from this extensive build the result is an incredible mixture of subtle details and timeless style. Ultimately, Douglas and his tendency to be hyper critical paid off, as the car truly showcases the talents of everyone involved. Although Douglas rarely considers a car to be “finished,” he’s ready to start putting some miles on this meticulously detailed Camaro.
