Ok latley I've been wanting to sell my 1969 Camaro so I can start over and put my twist to the Camaro. I'm running in a few problems and I need your guy's help! So now that I'm looking for a nasty project 1969 Camaro car I've talked to people and they said that its going to take a lot of money just to get the body beautiful and straight and I told them ok no probelm. But this is my problem now, should I buy a complete shell thats been already done from a company for example: http://www.ss396.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=camaro6769&Category_Code=CONVERTIBLEUNIBODY does this have the same value and does it even have a trim tag? Gosh I'm in a 2 way road I hate this!

That would be titled as a kit car IIRC. As far as value it wouldn't be worth the same as a real Camaro, at least to me.

in todays car market i would look for a half finished car at half the price. sell off the parts you do not want and build the rest.

it may be harder to sell the Z28 for your asking price too. kinda sucks in the selling market but buying can be a steal :)

For less money you can go this route: http://www.musclecarmetal.com/home2.asp

or this:

...and have a "new" REAL camaro for less than the cost of the "kit car" shell.

I went with MuscleCar Metal (they are only 15 mins from me) and I am very happy.

Can't go wrong with either of the two listed above. I have seen Mike's work and it is excellent as well as his shells are titled.
