Well as some know i sold the Nova over a month ago and i have been searching for a new project. Well i found her and she was delivered today. A 1971 camaro is now in the old home of the nova.
I have wanted one of these for a long time. When i got the nova i actually was looking for one of these cars but the nova was just to good to pass up.
Kinda looking for ideas right now. The whole car the needs to be redone so it is a blank canvas. My wife told me it was the ugliest car she ever seen :hammer: . There is no paint on the car so it looks strait and the rust is not to bad. Hopeing i will not even have to replace any of the factory sheet metal other than the pans and they are not that bad.
My ideas for a no name project
dse suspension uca's lca's rear leafs (i want to be low)
No minitub but i want to shoe horn some 285's with a 18 x 10 on the back
18's on front also
for brakes i might go with a ssbc this time or wilwood.
drivetrain around a 450+ horse carbed small block (thought about a ls but i love a carbed motor)
Trans will be tko 600
4 color i really want to stick with a oem color. So tuxedo and white stripes are my color of choice but might go cranberry and tuxedo stripes (my wife is pushinig me on the red) and i have owned nothing but black cars for the past 10 years and my elbo can use a brake.
I am going to run fairly stock type interior with the exp. of a covans dash and vintage air (another wife request)
thanks guys for checking this out i will post pics soon.
