      NEW here....

      Let me start off by saying this is a great forum. I have been browsing this forum for some time now and decided to join. It seems people are very friendly, helpful, and have many good suggestions and ideas.
      I will be turning 30 very shortly and WILL be getting a project Camaro. While growing up I spent a LOT of time at my fathers performance shop (I droped out of school and worked for his bussiness for 8-9 years) My dads '69 Camaro ran 9.2's back in the 90's. It now sits in a barn with a fresh paintjob and needs reasembly. (NOT FOR SALE, dont even ask) That car brought trophies home from Autorama and several other big shows back in the day. Cars have been a part of my life since day 1. My Grandfather owns a Chevy Dealership and my Mom always drove the newest, coolest cars. Cars are in my bloodline...literally.
      I am in the process of obtaining a 67 Camaro 6 cylinder in stock untouched shape. It sat in a barn for 12 years and was a california car until its move to Michigan and the barn. It is in great shape with a small rust hole in the drivers side rear window and the trunk floor has some small rust holes. Otherwise it seems in great shape (until I actually take it apart I won't know for sure)
      I plan to put '07 Corvette Z06 rims on it (18's front/ 19's rear) and would like to know what I will NEED to complete this task. I Know I will need a mini tub kit....what are some suggestions? I will be on a limited budget, but I don't expect it to see the road till next spring/summer. I have plenty of tools...Tig welder, Milling machine, Bandsaws, air compessor, and more. I want to give the car the proper stance first and foremost. I will also be upgrading the suspension and brakes at the same time.....Drum brakes suck!
      What are some cost effective ways to get wheels, brakes and suspension done? I would love to buy a new subframe with all the goodies, but I think it's a little out of my price range. I have seen others on here use the stock subframe with new suspension components bolted or welded on. I will be doing different stages of upgrades thoughout the years.
      1.) Wheels, Suspension, Brakes
      2.) Interior, Trunk, Firewall clean-up,
      3.) Engine & Trans....undecided....
      4.) Under car detail, a few Body mods, and Paint
      If anyone has suggestions, I would Greatly Appreciate them!

      Thanks in advance,
      Tim

      Heres the car....
