Hello all. Long time reader, first time poster. That was weak. Anyway, here goes: I'm a rookie car builder in Michigan. I've had a 69 Camaro for a few years now that was just barely a driver. It was a California car until I bought it. Slowly, I repeat slowly it is becoming a respectable street car. I may even drive it again in a year or two!

Welcome to the site, Rook. The car looks good, but please resize the pic if you can, it's HUGE.

Be more concerned doing it right than doing it fast. It looks like that is what you are doing. It will be worth the extra wait to get it right the first time.
Welcome aboard!

Are there a lot of Michigan folks here? How about anyone from Mid-Michigan? Flint - Saginaw? Lookin for decent swap meets, car shows and cruises in the area.

Cool, the SagNasty. Other than in Midland, any other cool swap meets in the area this summer you know of?
