My 71 Camaro project...

[Streetking]

As some of you know, I have been looking for a '70-'73 Camaro that was already done.. I looked at a few nice cars but in the end, I would have to make changes to each car to make it my own. I decided to get a nice car and build one myself. I decided to build one the way I want plus I was getting bored, all my other cars are already done. Anyway, I picked up this car from a friend of mine. He has owned it for about 4 years and planned on building a Pro-Touring car out of it but never got around to it. He even had a brand new DSE front subframe that went with the car. It's a '71, was bought brand new in Winston Salem NC. It stayed in the same area all it's life. All original panels except for the right front fender that had a dent in it so they replaced it when they painted it 4 years ago. I have all the original paperwork including the protecto plate. It is a original blue/blue car, but I am changing the color. I am leaving for LA in the morning for a week, when I get back, I will start tearing it apart. My plans are RS front, full DSE suspension front & rear, Baer brakes, mini-tubb, 4 point bar, LS7, T56, Vintage air/heat ect. I am planing on painting it silver w/blk stripes. Here are a few cell phone pics I took last night..

This should be fun to follow. You have great taste in cars and you always put out a nice finished project. Looks like a clean pallet.

Very nice....I'd keep it looking the way it is, just improve all the PT required stuff. Terrific starting point.

SW,

Who is going to be doing all the fab work?

[wing_0797]

Leave that great blue with white stripes the car looks awsome, Silver is to popular a color everybody wants silver and black stripes or some combination

[SD455]

I love this colour combo,and have never seen it before. Whats the world coming to when this is what a project car looks like!!! Great find!

[dropit69]

Damn i love that blue..i have a 73 rs or a 71 rs ill trade ya tword that one..lol.....they arent quite as nice but you are redoing it anyhow..

[Streetking]

Thanks for the comments guys. I am in LA until tomorrow and hope to start tearing it apart this weekend. I know the paint on the car is great but I just can't do blue/blue. I want silver..just because I never done one in silver..

[pointman]

SW- you have some very nice cars. Your 69 and Trans AM you completed were excellent. I really like the minitubs!
