Just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Tommy, I'm from the Baton Rouge Louisiana area. I just picked up 72 Camaro a few weeks ago that is currently set up as a drag car, I'm planning on converting it to more of a pro street or pro touring car. It has a really straight body and decent paint at the moment, The interior is what I'm going to start on first after I get my blower motor dropped in it and running. I have a 700 hp 468 big block with a 671 Bds Blower. The motor was in my Jeep with 9" of lift and 44" tires, I couldn't play with it much with that much power without slinging the driveshaft and u joints out from under it. I can't wait to drop it in the Camaro, It has small block towers in the car now so I need to order some big block mounts and springs. I have been wanting a 71-73 Camaro for a long time now and finally got my hands on one. I'm a gearhead and have always enjoyed muscle cars and hot rods and have owned a few in my time but this is my 1st 2nd gen Camaro. I have been reading a lot of post and I really like this site so far, Looks like there's a lot of friendly and helpful members on here with a lot of useful info on the 2nd gens. My Camaro has a aluminum dash and a roll cage in it that I will be concentrating on getting looking better and a little more on the custom side. I would much rather it have a factory dash in it and put some nice gauges and interior in it, but from looking at some of the pictures in the interior section on the forum I have some good ideas of what to do now. I'm looking forward to being a member and getting to know some of you. If anyone has any suggestions or pictures of some custom aluminum dashes and consoles please feel free to post pics. I would love to see them.
