My 69 Camaro. Noob build.

[camarodude87]

Hello everyone.



I wanted to start a build thread. Mainly for advise and to start my progress on my car. I have owned the car for about a yr now.I should of walked away but I did not. Car has a 6.0L LQ9 with a 4l60e. Crappy wiring and stock suspension. I have owned 4 Camaro's before. 3 3rd gen and one 4th gen. I always wanted a 69 since I was young. I am now 29. I have no welding experience but I am eager to learn. Just wish it wasn't this way. I pretty much stumbled into this tear town today. I went to pull out my back seats to find out my car smelled like mice. Well one thing lead to another and here I am. Entire interior out and discovered my worst fears. Not surprised though. Having flash backs from when I was debating to throw the car on the trailer or drive away. (13hr drive one way). I am honestly looking for advice, good or bad. I know I want to keep it drivable. I have read that many times from others, but the wiring and so much more needs to be addressed.

Day I bought her.


I know the car needs work to the outer wheel wells and the driver side rocker. I will be asking for advice. How would you tackle this. The OCD me wants to tear the front end off. Pull engine and trans and go from there.

Thanks for your help. Ray
