Great site, found you guys on the 1st of November. The work displayed here is awesome. I've learned much in a short time. My car sat for 39 years, in 3 different garages. I bought it in 1971 for $2000.00 USD. Loved the heck out of it, but marriage and the kids came first. 3 houses, 2 kids through college, and a business later it came out of the barn on May 29th this year. It has 47,000 miles on it. I could not believe in what sad shape it really was in. It never was outside, was always on concrete, un-tarped, with a cover on it the last 15 or so. Decided to got the full route as I'm only gonna be here once. Can't seem to get pictures to attach. What's the trick, goes halfway and stops?? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
It's a 67 Camaro coupe. I stripped it down to a shell had it blasted and found very little that had no holes. The only thing that will be original is the firewall, toe-pan, pillars, rockers, roof supports and hood. The rest is new. I put a AMD front subframe with Heidt's upper and lower control arms. Disc brakes in the front, bought SSBC but gonna change over to Wilwoods. Have a new Patriot crate motor with a B&M 400 to go in along with a Gear Vendors OD unit. Just purchased a Heidt's IRS unit for the rear. Been reading a lot lately hoping not to overlook anything. Need to find a forum with a "Things I wish I did different" thread. But this place seems to have lots of friendly folks in the know. Things have changed alot since 71. Lots to learn. What are you building?
thanks!
