Real Deal Steel Expands Camaro Body Line With a Race-Weight Option

By Todd Silvey August 15, 2019Many of the most desired vintage and muscle car bodies are becoming difficult to find. These bodies can cost extravagant amounts of money, and typically require extensive rust or damage repair. When you are talking about Chevy body shells within the 50-year range of age, the years have not been the best of friends to what is now vintage sheetmetal.



For years, Real Deal Steel (RDS) has been offering an alternative to those tired bodies. The company’s all-new Chevrolet shells are available in several body styles including ’55, ’56, and ’57 Chevy, ’67 to ’69 Camaro/Firebird, ’70 to ’73 Camaro coupe, and the ’66 to ’67 Nova. On the blue oval side, they even construct a new 1940 Ford coupe shell.

The “Body In White” Returns

A new option from RDS, manufactured specifically for racers and chassis builders, is a race-oriented steel body. These shells are minus many of the unneeded panels that would be cut away during a race car build. They are now available in first-generation Camaro/Firebird along with the popular ’66 and ’67 Nova.
