I have never done a ProTouring car; so this will all be new to me. Any pointers on where I should start?

What are you starting with? Some pics would be good and some idea of what you are looking to do with the car (i.e. show, daily driver, autocross, etc...)

It is still sitting in the trailer, but I should have some pics to post this weekend. I am looking to make it into a weekend around town car. Right now it sits as a shell on a body cart with the frame conncetors welded and attached to sub frame. Sub-frame has been blasted and refinshed along with all new tie rods, ball joints, bushings etc....

1972 Camaro. Got it out of the trailer today and it is sitting pretty in the garage. Where to start? Most likely with photos in the morning.

I have been looking for a while and found one in Texas. Man, fuel is expensive! I think it may have been cheaper to have it shipped.

Still trying to get my computer fixed... Here is one picture I was able to salvage out of the computer vs 12 year old ordeal. Anyway... I hope to have more up soon. What type of rear-ends will work in this application? Keep in mind that it has been back halfed and there are no mounting points as of this moment. Does any one know if the DSE will work without the factory rear chasis mounting points?

Welcome to the board! I would start with the suspension myself, brakes, control arms, steering components rear end etc.... how much are lookingto spend on this project? it will add up quick depending on what you want it to be in the end. It's an addiction!!!
