Truly amazing build! The panel lines are sharp and paint lines straight. No "glue prints" on the plexiglass. Excellent photography. Looks like the real thing.
Didn't you just love the rubber smell when you opened the box to build her? Well done.

Being a photography buff, I like how he's got the aspect ratio and focus to scale the background exactly right...
Beudy mate.
Speaking of midlife crises (Crisis? What crisis?), I'll bring my LS 1 powered Commodore over and we'll have a drag race - it can do 0 to 60 in just under five seconds, and can carry five adults whilst doing it... (You'll win, of course...

No not "that" post midlife yet.
Incidentally, regarding Chevys, when the company wanted to reinvent the Camaro they turned to Holden Australia, who had developed the VE Commodore, so the Camaro used the engine, a 6.2 ltr V8 and drive train and chassis from the Commodore.
"Following the development of the Zeta architecture and because of its position as the GM global center of RWD development, GM Holden in Australia led the final design, engineering, and development of the Camaro. Production of the coupé began on March 16, 2009, in LS, LT, and SS trim levels.[22][23] LS and LT models are powered by a 3.6 L (220 cu in) V6 producing 312 hp (233 kW) for the 2010 and 2011 models mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with manual shift. The SS is powered by the 6.2 L (376 cu in) LS3 V8 producing 426 hp (318 kW) and is paired with a 6-speed manual. The automatic SS has the L99 V8 with 400 hp (300 kW). The RS appearance package is available on both the LT and SS and features 20-inch wheels with a darker gray tone, halo rings around xenon headlamps, a unique spoiler, and red RS or SS badges."
