69 Camaro & LSA in NZ

[Gmc427]

Hiya All, started a rebuild on a 69 Camaro, like all these projects it immediately grew in every way, here's the car at the start.





Going to run a crate LSA, T56 Magnum & Art Morrison IRS & suspension.



Once we started into the original car we found the usual rust, old repairs etc. so ended up with bringing a Dynacorn shell down here.



And so now the real work starts!
I'll probably lean on y'all for advice, we just don't have that many pro touring builds down here in New Zealand, so I love all the info on this forum.

Thanks, Willy

Nah it wasn't bad at all, but all these great parts were rolling in, and the cost on a new shell was way less than I thought it would be. So do it right the first time!
And fixing a few old repairs soon adds up.

Yes, Hoppers using it for a race car.

Willie,
I ve been there like everyone on this forum. If I had to do over again, I would have done the dynacorn body. I think it's a better way to go. After two body shops and to much cash I could have bought the new body. In the end I'm satisfied with my build but it would have been cheaper. Some guys would argue differently but to me new metal is new metal.
Killer build startup ill be checking in on it
