Scott Robinson's "Bionic Wasp" 68' Camaro

Image
  Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured  a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him.   The father and son

However, the original owner wanted to stay with the 396 and Mr.Thomas transformed Chevrolet's 396 into a sleeper big block that could terrorize any 427 on the street in 1968.   The 396 is set up with an Offenhauser Intake manifold with dual Carter AFB Carbs. A Comp Cams solid-lifter camshaft with the original Bill Thomas spec’s was installed during the rebuild .  The engine is mated to a column shifted Turbo 400 Transmission that feeds a heavy-duty 12 Bolt posi-traction rear end with
