Chevy Concepts — 1968 Camaro Convertible

Artwork by Tavis Highlander   –   Instagram @tavishighlander   –   tavishighlander.com

Owner: Dave Bragg
Builder: Bent Custom & Performance Inc.

This Camaro project has been finely tuned just about everywhere by builder Mark Bohlen. At the front he’s shortened the valance openings to look more proportional without the bumper. Foglights were custom machined and the chin spoiler was shaped from sheetmetal. The lower fender part line has been welded smooth. Side mirrors from a 2019 Camaro are frenched into the doors. Schott V10 wheels show off a custom bronze center, which will also be echoed in the hockey stripe graphic. That graphic has been tweaked a bit to flow better. Painting will be handled by Leo Vargas of Carroceria Americana, and the fully custom interior is being crafted by Albert Lara of Academy Interiors.

Powering the car is a big-block Chevy with 496ci displacement, AFR heads, Holley Dominator EFI, and a coil-on-plug ignition. The setup is good for over 700 hp on 91-octane fuel. Shifting is handled by a 4L80E transmission and stopping power is taken care of by 14-inch rotors and six-piston calipers from Baer.
