69 Camaro & LSA in NZ

[mistral]

Thanks Jason, yeah I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way, I’ve fixed up some way worse projects before, and we often struggle to be realistic about what the true cost of stuff is going to be.
The dynacorn body wasn’t just a bolt on & paint thing either, took quite a bit of playing around to get panel gaps & things right, but it’s all metal, no filler, so that’s gotta be a good thing!
I see your cars looking great, I’m looking forward to being at the driving around stage!

OK, so at times it felt like this would never happen, but I got there! It's legal, on the road, and drives better than I thought it could.
I'll get some better pics & get them up here, but in the meantime, here's the 69, LSA, T56, Art Morrison IRS, IFS, Baer 14" discs & 6 pots all round. Handling is excellent, very neutral with sharp turn in, stops great, in general nothing like a 1969 car!

Not really, Certifier has a few things he wanted changed but minimal.
Using Art Morrison gear helps hugely, it's pre approved, 1 of a couple of US labels that don't need
re-engineering, Detroit Speed is another I think.

I might have missed it in the thread, but did the seats come from a doner car?

Yeah VW Scirroco, they got reshaped & recovered in leather.
Manual adjustment, but they go up & forward a long way which is good for my wife,

I bet that car gets A LOT of attention in NZ and rightfully so
work of Art! no pun intended

Awesome build. While you took the entire further than would do, I can try appreciate the worksmanship.
