To each his own I guess but, I hate to see old street sweepers like a Motion Camaro modified so extensively. </div></div>

I also mean no disrespect,But I never thought an original Baldwin Motion Camaro thats known to be Real,Would ever go under the knife like this And get modified to the point of No Return,Dont get me wrong-It's your Car and the Way you are having it Done looks to be Top Notch-But to take a Valuable car with History and Prostreet it seems to be Drastic,I didnt even know cars where still getting built in the "ProStreet" style-everything in Magazines now is "Pro-Touring"-The Magazines Just started catching on to how these Cars where built way back when,Its actually Very popular and it looks like your Camaro had this look at one time..Or at least it was born with that look-which they Call "DAY2"I just have to ask because I know people on this Board are wondering,Why Chop up a piece of Valuable History to Modify it in a way as to De-Value the car in the long run?Im not trying to be intrusive,but why not take a Plain jane Camaro and do that up=That Baldwin motion camaro before it got chopped up would have Sold for a good amount in Just about any shape it is,But now its a toss up to what kind of value it still holds,Im sure Im not the only one who has asked you these questions....But Its your car and looks like you are gonna have some fun driving it-I look forward to your reply-Thanks.

Re: Camaro getting painted ...

His initial post states it was an SS. The Motion claim seems to have grown or followed after that. Has it been verified?

Also looks like it was already back-halved in the first pics posted of it.
I would strongly agree it would be criminal to butcher a true Motion car, but either way, it looks insanely awesome in the build.

Re: Camaro getting painted ...

(Ken.. Mikes car is a real deal Baldwin/Motion Camaro... and he still took the scissors to it.... that's balls.. )
Thats what is posted on the 1st page of the build..

Re: Camaro getting painted ...

Yes...there is no doubt about this car being told that it is a real Motion car. Even the owner has said it.

But here is my two pennies. Real Motion car or not, I am glad to see someone once again not bow down to a "trend". I personally do not like labels. Be it Day 2, Pro Street, Rat Rod, etc. It's okay to use these terms to describe something if the other person can't picture what you are talking about. But to use these terms as a fashion statement is ridiculous. I'm building a my Vega to look like something from my childhood memories, not because I think Day 2 is the latest and greatest thing.
The only thing I am confused about is why there isn't a tiny pulley on that blower? If you are turning that thing 1:1 or lower, it's a huge waste of free power..lol Good job.
