Hi, I'm new to the board. I've been browsing the site for a few months now and I've been working on my car for almost a year now. I didn't introduce myself at first because I didn't know if i wanted to go towards the Pro-touring side, or just do a standard Restoration. I'm in the tear down process now, and have been digging rusted areas out of this thing for about 2 months, and it just keeps turning up. I have mostly all the parts to put the car back together, just have to do the leg work first. The car is a 1967 Camaro Base model 327 with a 3 spd Saginaw. It was bought by my mom in 1970 after she graduated, and she drove the damn thing till 1989. The car was then stored under a large oak tree till I turned 15, and this is when my dad and I pulled it out and began restoring it. Due to the fact that I wanted a car to drive to high school, we never restored the car 100%, only body, interior, brakes, and some other small things. I drove the car for about 5 years, stored it up, went to college, and here I am. Due to the fact that it was stored a couple of years outside in the elements, It has new rust, and bad areas, that must now be addressed. The motor has about 200,000 on it. Plans are to use the original motor, rpm cam, heads, and rpm air gap intake. CSU Blow through Holley, Hooker Super Comps, Tremec tko 600, Procharger D-1, Custom Dash, Classic Instrument Gauges, 8 Point cage, Billet Speciality Street Stars, SilverStar HID conversion, Hotchkis TVS, and a tail load of other stuff that I've collected over the months. I will be doing all of the work, powdercoating, body, paint, and interior myself. So enjoy the pics, They are of the car when it was in great shape. To upload the build on a website, I'll post my progress. Maybe I'll have my car featured in a magazine like some of the guys on here.
