Netcong Auto Restorations Custom Camaro SS

This Custom 2010 Camaro designed and built by Netcong Auto Restorations, LLC., New Jersey, was featured in the May and June issues of Popular Mechanics Magazine. This car drew crowds at the Pocono 500, Route 66 Rendezvous and will be the featured vehicle at the 2010 SEMA Show this November.

With the assistance of sponsors and suppliers the Netcong Auto Restorations created a one of a kind jaw dropping high-tech Camaro. The exterior features custom paintwork, one of a kind hood and lights, side vents, a custom rear featuring an extra set of taillights as well as custom spoiler. The interior features custom seats, headliner and details such as a complete high-tech package. 

Netcong Auto Restorations installed FLIR night vision, WIFI, a laptop that stores in the glove box, PS3, Gmeter, visor monitors and a rear monitor, switching system for video inputs, speakers and a complete trunk redesign featuring a Kicker speaker system with a custom tool kit by Stanley.

Mechanically the car is now equipped with a Paxton Supercharger w/intercooler, MTI coil overs featuring Bilstein shocks, MTI short throw shifter, SLP Performance upgraded Brembo brakes/rotors and sway bars, GM Performance Parts exhaust system and body kit. The car was finished off with BBS wheels and Cooper RS3 tires.

Daily Record Newspaper Story - Chosen from 200 auto restoration shops nationwide to design the ultimate muscle car for Popular Mechanics

Netcong shop puts muscle into car restoration

NETCONG — As if being chosen from 200 auto restoration shops nationwide to design the ultimate muscle car for Popular Mechanics last year wasn’t enough for Netcong Auto Restorations owner Phillip Brazer, 2011 has proven to be another banner year for the shop.

Opened three years ago by Brazer and his wife, Dana, the shop recently welcomed new talent to work on cars ranging from convertibles to Rolls-Royces to Packards: Sussex County resident Hector Rodriguez, and the couple’s teenage son, Grant.

The shop boasts its own in-house auto upholstery, interior, convertible, and vinyl tops department, providing a one-stop-shop for owners of antique collector show cars, custom cars, hot rods and street rods, Restomods, and classic and sports cars, among others. The shop also performs work on late-model cars, trucks, motorcycles, and boats.

“Now we really are full-service,” said the Hillsborough resident. Netcong Auto Restorations recently opened a state-of-the-art restoration facility in the Landing section of Roxbury. The shop also maintains a facility in Stanhope.

“We had to expand to accommodate our new custom interior services,” Brazer said.
When the shop was asked by Popular Mechanics to customize the Camaro for the magazine’s annual car makeover feature, Brazer considered the prestigious project a tribute to the young shop’s success.

Project Camaro began when more than 200 auto restoration shops across the country were asked by Popular Mechanics to submit design proposals for a high-performance muscle car.

Netcong Auto Restorations again was commissioned this year’s feature. The project included customizing a 2011 Ford Mustang GT convertible and a 2011 Victory Hammer S motorcycle.

Leading monthly magazine Popular Mechanics commissioned Netcong Auto Restorations, LLC., once again for the magazine's annual Car Makeover feature, that ran in its 2011 May and June issues. Both custom vehicles featured at SEMA Show in Las Vegas

Last year, Popular Mechanics put one shop to the ultimate test: After conducting a nationwide search for a custom shop capable of turning a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS into something special, Popular Mechanics selected Netcong Auto Restorations of Netcong, New Jersey. Phil and Dana Brazer, the shop's owners, then subjected themselves to our deadlines and the harsh glare of scrutiny. The amazing machine that resulted featured bold styling and enough chassis modifications to shame many purpose-built race cars.


This year, Popular Mechanics approached the project a little differently. they liked how the Brazers did things, so we threw them a new challenge: If the Camaro was about no-compromises speed, then for 2011, we wanted style and comfort to come first. We wanted the ultimate weekend getaway car.


To that end, Popular Mechanics bought a 2011 Ford Mustang convertible, a red GT model with Ford's 412-hp, 5.0-liter V-8. At just over $34,000, the GT can hang with modern supercars without breaking the bank. But the project and its challenge didn't stop there. Popular Mechanics wanted to be able to mix things up after hitting our destination. A motorcycle was needed, something big on style and comfort. Enter the Victory Motorcycles 2010 Hammer S: old-school looks and a modern, 97-hp V-Twin. Thanks to modern suspension geometry and braking technology, the Hammer S stops and turns like a real bike, not some relic from a bygone era. We ordered up an Aluminum motorcycle trailer and told the Netcong crew to think about how to make our Hammer S a long-legged highway custom.

The finished car was featured at the Pocono 500 June 10-12, 2011, held at Pocono Raceway, which has long been recognized as one of NASCAR's most competitive speedways.


The vehicle was also showcased at the 22nd Annual Route 66 Car Show in San Bernadino, CA, September 15-18, 2011 and at The 71st Anniversary Sturgis Rally August 8-14, 2011.
