Hi all my name is Dana I am currently building a 79 camaro with plans of totally modernizing it to make it handle well and be fast at the strip yet provide the comfort of newer vehicles. Here are pictures of it the day i broght it home:

And some of it today in progress:

Now I know some of you have done this kinda stuff before so tips and hints would be useful.
Plans are:
LS1/LS6 not sure if I will buy a crate or a complete swap from a wrecked f-body
4L60E or 4L80E ( have not gotten far enough to reseach it yet.)
Would like to do airride but also considering a 4 link since drag racing will be happening also.
4th gen dash, console, seats, seatbelts, HVAC steering column
Eventually procharger system unless I end up getting some extra money sooner then later.
I will also have a 8" touchscreen in the dash linked to a carpc that I will be building myself.
Alot ahead of me I know. A little about me: I use to be a very loyal honda guy I did several major projects on civics these are just two that I ahve pictres of anymore the coupe was my driver:

Thats what it looked like when I was done with it. Shortly after painting it myself I traded it off on my current driver a 98 camaro ss
and the other civic renovation I did was this one by far the biggest difference:

Thats it after I got done with it.
So I am definitely looking forward to doing a pro-touring theme with the 79 camaro.
