And a nice red car to finish off with; what is it and who built it?

This is a 'project' that has (as far as I know) no official name. It was build by a guy in his garage based on a Chevrolet Camaro ; he called it the 'MIG' (for 'Made in Garage'  :)). I think his name was Terry Ward or something ...

That's it, yes.
Suppose MIG is its official name..
Apparently it was made by Terry Ward in Tallahasee, Florida using the doors, roof and windscreen from a Camaro whilst the rest of the body was hand-made.  It also uses various Camaro and Corvette C3 parts underneath, with a Chevy 350 cu in V8 and Porsche 930 transaxle..

Here are a couple more pics:

That's kinda cool.

I'm going to have to ask my buddy in Tally if he knows or is familiar with this.
