Default '69 Roadster pics

Was out running around this moring and went past the local bodyshop that does a lot of high end paint and custom work. Had to stop when I saw this '69 Camaro sitting outside! It's obviously a show car, and not designed for a lot of road trips, or daily driving!
All the body panels are welded together, with just the hood and trunk lid still opening. Looked underneath and it had 4 link rear with coil overs, and a 12 bolt. Front is all tubular arms, and coil overs, and brakes were big Baers all round. I could also see it's an LS with a stick trans of some kind.
The interior is also all molded in, and it's a 2 seater. The seats were custom stitched leather, and individual chrome rollbars for each seat. Full digital custom gauges setup. Bumpers were both tucked in tight against the body, and the yellow paint covers everything, even the inside wheelwells, and underside of the body. The suspension was all gloss black, with some chrome and powdercoated aluminum colored pieces.
Pretty radical build for sure! Just got these crumby cell phone pics, but here they are:


Gotta figure out why this interior pic is so small from my phone?

I wonder why anybody would do that to a Camaro.

Probably to make something different than anyone else has. Might even have been a wrecked car, and he figured this would be a easier way than fixing everything.

Not my thing either, but the workmanship is perfect!

It looks very nicely done, for what it is. But I wouldn't.
Why can't people just leave their Camaro alone, and keep it as GM intended it to be?
