Nice!

Did you see any signs of a decent heat exchanger out front?


John, you should add a PLSX watermark to these pics.

Looking over my pics and others I've seen there might be something in there, hard to tell.

I have a question on the ZL1. The front fascia, was it designed by GM first or the movie folks first? I'm not clear on the relationship between the Bumble Bee designs and the GM production cars.

The ZL1 does look very similar to the Movie version.

The production Transformers Edition Bumblebee is just the standard front fascia and not the same as the movie version. You would think that car of any would get the different fascia, although it was only like a $900 option... so maybe not. IIRC, Saleen designed the movie version.

Exactly did Saleen create the movie car front fascia or GM?

GM designed the Bumblebee nose. Saleen was just the contractor to put those Camaro body panels onto GTO rollers, since they were done pre-production and no Camaros were built yet.
