360 Fabrication’s “The Bully”
After 44-years of existence, it would seem that everything that can be done to a 1969 Camaro has already been done. Just when you think that you’ve seen it all… somebody does something a little newer and a little different that changes your mind. Only this time the creation comes from the least likely place. How about an American muscle fabrication shop in Abbotsford, British Columbia? That’s the Great White North that Bob and Doug McKenzie helped to make famous.
Starting from bare metal, the crew worked from the ground up to create this beast.
Brothers Rick and Daryl Francoeur had been creating and customizing anything with wheels and some things without for most of their lives when it dawned on them to work as a pair. They came together in 2006 to open their own custom fabricating shop, a place where they would be able to shape their unique ideas into reality. Rick’s 29 years of experience as an auto body technician and welder combined with Daryl’s years of aviation engineer joined to make 360 Fabrication Inc. one of the most sought after shops in the Providence of B.C.
Combining a serious race ready chassis with an ultra-powerful engine meant that good manners had to go.
Their ’69 Camaro creation, lovingly dubbed “The Bully,” caught our attention. The design for this project seemed to dwell on every evil intention known to man. Lots of raw horsepower and strength with a touch of bad manners for the street. There’s nothing polite about this car’s personality. It’s a brute and it was created to be a “Bully.” Job well done 360 Fabrication Inc.
The magic was in the details.

When it was all said and done, this was one of the baddest exports from the Great White North.
