      69 camaro college build

      So i started getting into cars after high school and decided i had to have a 69 camaro. So i got a piece of crap project car... and in my stupidity i thought it wouldnt take more than a few months to build, on a college kids budget... i knew nothing hahaha "im a moron"
      but unfrtunantly i didnt come from a car family so i had to learn as i went.
      so heres where i started... (I tried to include lots of pics as i noticed people on this forum seem otlike lots of pics, me too haha)



      from there it took 2 years of body work
      including a new quarter, new fender, new hood, shaved emblems, marker lights, and doors, body filled a few seems, and leaded the rotting roof




      from there it started to look like a halfway decent primered car



      it got 4 wheel disc brakes, new suspension including sway bars, z28 leaf spring, two inch lowering coils, polyuerathane bushings and a quick ratio power sterring unit, and rims and tires




      it also got converted to a 2 seater, racing seats, new stereo and all that fun stuff



      i just painted it a few weeks ago at my schools auto shop, raing stripes coming in a few weeks





      i also have an LT1 and t56 sitting in my garage that im beefing up 2 drop in the girl, but alas i have run dry of money of rnow, so hopefully ill have enough by christmas...





      so what do u think so far, ill keep posting as i get the engine ready and the new stripes on, along with other small projects
