i bought my project today!!! 1970 camaro rs... i personally think i stole this one!!! wanted to get opinions on my decision... only body work needed is a passengers fender, other than that its extremely solid!!! it has the wrong seats and no center console, but the rest of the interior is all there!!! and its also got a 12 bolt posi!!! gave 2k... did i do good???

now for the plan... please feel free to chime in on anything and throw your opinion my way, as im sure i will be needing lots of help along the way!!!

the plan:
body work first, which wont take long since there is very little... the roof can actually be saved, so i will blast the car and put it in primer including the interior...
pull the body and blast the frame... paint the frame... all new suspension (probably hotchkis unless you have better suggestions)
blast all the small parts... bolts, nuts, etc...
baer or wilwood brake system... 13" front 12" rear
zz502 engine w/ tremec tranny...
march pully system...
all new interior with covan dash and autometer guages...
polished vintage air system (including lines) and more polished/chrome under hood (booster/master...etc...)
mirror finish deep black paint w/ white stripes, including under hood and smooth fire wall
dropped down with 20" foose nitrous II wheels
just my first thoughts....
?????????????????????????
throw em at me!!!

Sounds like a nice project and at a nice price.

I think you should just sell it to me:evil: you 'll just be wasting all your time and money your significant other will most likely get upset with you. I could save you all that heartache:lol: I personally like DSE stuff and the customer service is top notch. It sounds like it'll be nice I really like the black but how about a pearl white or charcoal stripe. Another idea would be a stripe that matches the interior.

Looks like you did fantastic. The 12 bolt is damn near worth what you paid for the entire package.

Have fun with it!

Sounds like you got a great deal!

Your list looks pretty complete and you are taking it down to bare metal and starting fresh. You might want to check out DSE (Detroit Speed and Engineering) for some sub-frame connectors. Now would be a good time to add this mod if your stripping it down that far.

Good Luck with the Project
