How hard would it be to Clone this?

I was thinking about getting a Project camaro, and I saw this.

Orange Pumpkin SS LT4


How hard do you think it would be to find the paint, the SS body panels, rims, and everything. I doubt I'll go for a LT4, I'll probably do my own powertrain. And how much do you think if I got a somewhat clean LT1 Camaro, how much would doing the body conversion with paint will cost?

Find a black '97 SS, and just repaint the outside and buy stripes. Then paint the wheels. The paint job for everything would likely be around $10k I'd imagine.

Finding the white leather seats would probably prove difficult.

I would pick up a black 93-97 car, get quality aftermarket (or if you are willing to pay for it OEM) hood, spoiler, and wheels. Get the wheels powdercoated and the car painted. If you don't need bodywork a good paint job can be had for $1500 from the right place.

The orange is hugger orange. The white is arctic white. The wheels are just white 17" ZR-1's. The white seats can be bought almost at any time on eBay. There's a company that makes repro. covers on there. For the body, all you need is an SS hood and spoiler.

Is that really Hugger? I always remeber Hugger being lighter. Are there different shades of it. Like you know Alpine White III, is 3 coats of Alpine White.


I wonder has this been cloned before, I mean I really like this car and I can't figure out why.

Yeah, that's definitely hugger orange, it just photographed funny. I really don't know the history of those cars, there's either 1 or there's 2. But here's the other good pic I have:

Gotta say that I like the one with the white wheels and orange grill a lot more.

Gotta say, that is one nice SS. I know they made quite a few white with orange stripping, but how many orange with white stripping were made? I'll take the orange with the white stripes any day.

They were a one-off thing made by GMMG. There were only one or two. Any others exist purely because they owners of the cars made them that way.
