Nice!

[silvermonte]

Nice car and I think it was a smart move for you to buy a car that is already done and then change it a bit to the way you want it.

[71RS/SS396]

Here's an option for a dash if you choose to replace what's there. http://www.dashworksbypaulatkins.com/67-69_Camaro.html
I think you did real well considering the parts that are on this car.

Cool thanks

Nice project Taylor, and I think that dash Tim showed you would be an awesome addition. Keep us updated.

[TaylorRyanSS]

New goodies...

Plasti-dipped the rear decklid panel, installed a Defenderworx SS emblem that I hand painted (tried to cover up the 4 old emblem holes the best I could), and put 5th Gen Camaro emblems on the fenders

I see you got you're car.. Looks like a good place to start!!

[BMR Sales]

Glad, you got your car - those Dash options look interesting, that was the one thing I didn't like

[TaylorRyanSS]

Dash will come eventually, but I can live with it for now

I painted my calipers red. They were originally red but the previous owner painted them black. Now waiting on my wheels to come back from the chroming shop... I am having the outer lips chromed.

Those chrome rims are going to be a huge improvement.

Nice project.

[TaylorRyanSS]

Thanks

[ADiCarlo]

What wheel shop did you use?

[bonecrrusher]

Nice looking wheels!

[TaylorRyanSS]

[DButler]

What kind of exhaust tips are those?

[TaylorRyanSS]

Flowmaster... A little bigger than I expected, but I like them. I know I'll get some flack for them, someone already told me they look out of place haha

[DButler]

Just a little big but I like them...the more I look the more I like.

[TaylorRyanSS]

[H20cooled]

Awesome Camaro, its a great touch of old and new. Love the wheels.

[TaylorRyanSS]

Just ordered some billet RS style tail lights with sequential LEDs. Up next RS front end conversion!

[MCMLXIX]

What are you plans for the dash? Back to stock or custom?

I was leaning towards the Corbeau TRS for my 69.

[TaylorRyanSS]

Dash will not be stock. Looking for something somewhat stock looking but a little more modernized.
