Finished on its 2nd anniversary

[MarcJan69]

So 2 years ago this week I bought a 69 Camaro on EBay. It was a unfinished project that sat in a portable tent for years. It had a new interior but not having a steering column, every kind of animal lived in it big and small. I had to gut it with hazmat suit. The paint could of been nice but from sitting outside moisture and temperature swings reeked havoc. I though it was just going to be a buff and touch up. The panel fitment and gaps weren’t to my liking so scraped the after market fenders and found real GM RS ones. Stripped it and new paint job. It now has TCI pro touring suspension with torque arm,Currie 9”, Wilwood all around with electric caliper parking brake, Hydratech hydraboost,LS 2 with a Magnuson TVS2300 Lingifelter ported heads and cam,Magnaflow stainless exhaust with Ultimate stainless headers, McLeod rxt twin disk, Rocket racing Attack wheels Nitto 05r’s, Trucklites in the front Digi tails rear with Eddie bezels, full JL Bluetooth dsp amps with subs and every speaker panel The Shop makes, Alcantara headliner, custom leather and Alcantara seats, German square weave carpet, leather wrapped 5th gen console, all gray tinted glass (no film), Kindig spoiler and push button start with proximity fob. Basically everything was done at my house less paint and upholstery.Attachment 194616Attachment 194617Attachment 194618Attachment 194615Attachment 194614

I hope this works adding pictures to this thread, here it is after paint.

[MarcJan69]

I think I am finally getting the hang of postings these pictures…. Hopefully I’m doing it correctly.

[MarcJan69]

I’m not sure how they started getting out of order but anyway here is the interior.

[MarcJan69]

Here are a few miscellaneous random pictures , I don’t think I have much mor to show.

I think this about sums it up, this was my first pro touring build…… it won’t be my last. Got my eyes out for a 68 GTO.

Here are the before pictures, I messed up by creating 2 posts on accident.

Beautiful car! I just picked up a set of those same wheels. Love the way they look on a first gen. Curious what size you are running on the front?
