I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been reading everything on this site for a couple of weeks now, what a great source of info and some incredible cars! i have 2 projects going on right now 1st one is a 1969 gto judge clone almost done. its old school lots of cam and compression and converter.it doesnt go around coners very well, but its fun in a straight line. 2nd car is what brought me to this site,i picked up 1969 firebird for dirt cheep.I always wanted a 69T/A. cant even begin to afford a real one so i am gonna build one. its a basket case right now needs just about everything. plans are ls1/6 speed. nothing real radical just want a nice driver. i will post a couple of pics

I have seen alot worse. At least it looks like it is all there. My dad and I built a 69 Camaro starting from a shell. No doors or anything. We had to put quarters on it also. It turned into a nice Pro Street car 2 years later. Welcome to the site

You call that bad? Looks like a nice start to me you need to check out motown 454's carcass that he started with.https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32094
