By any measure, Project American Heroes was an overwhelming success. It was a hit with the readers, a star of the 2007 SEMA show and after selling for $130,000 at the Barrett-Jackson West Palm auction—all of which went to the Armed Forces Foundation to benefit wounded veterans (or the families of those killed in action)—a hero to American service men and women everywhere.

Now it's time for Project American Heroes II. Unlike the movies, this is going to be an example of the sequel surpassing the original. For the second go-round we got a 1969 Camaro SS. It was originally a small-block car, but as you can see from the "before" photo, there was not a whole lot of Sport left in this once- Super Camaro.

Check out the photos from Super Chevy freelancer Arvid Svendsen. Bill Jelinek and his talented team from Route 66 Motorsports have already gone ballistic on the F-body and the goal is to transform the wasted machine into a show-stopper in time for its debut at the Super Chevy Show in Joliet, Illinois, on August 9. That means the car will have gotten a miracle makeover in just 118 days.

The car is getting the best of everything from Detroit Speed and Engineering and Classic Industries. Power will come from a mega LS engine from Turn Key Engine Supply. Baer brakes will stop it and another blog is coming to announce each and every valuable sponsor who is contributing to this worthwhile project.

Also show are some of the renderings for the finished project done by Eric Brockmeyer. There will be five in total, which will  go up on the dedicated website projectamericanheroes.net. Once up, members of the armed forces will have until June 15 to vote for their favorite version and the one with the most votes is the one we'll build.

You can follow along with the full buildup starting with the September issue of Super Chevy magazine.
