My 69 Camaro Project - updated pics

**Rybar** · 01-15-2005

Hey guys, just updated pics of my car, mounted my wheels & tires today. The car still needs to be lowered 2" in the rear and needs weight from the motor to go down in the front.

I also just bought a 2002 LS1-T56 and will be getting it shipped to me in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted and let me know what you think.

looks great Ry, where did you end up buying the motor? Gotta love that paint,I just hope you don't get eye problems driving it. I wouldn't lower it till the motors in.

Gorgeous paint!!! I agree with Vince. Wait untill the car is pretty well finished before you worry about the ride height. It'd be a bugger to lower it and find out it's too low after you get that last bit of weight in it.

P.S.
I noticed you don't have any snow. Want some?

Great job!!

Love the paint and the 18" TT2's! Thanks for sharing.

OT: sunkistcamaro and colt zantop, do you two have any pics on this forum of your Camaros that I could look at? Based on your avatars, I would love to see more.

Beautiful car Ryan! I've got to see it in person one day. Good choice on the LS1 as well. Damn I need a 69 camaro

**Rybar** · 01-17-2005

Found my 2002 LS1-T56 from a seller on LS1 tech, I'll post some pics once I get it.

I'm going to be ordering all my install parts for it real soon. S&P motor plates, oil pan & headers, ATS T56 kit, Speartech harness & tune, and a nice cam, shifter and Spec stage III clutch. Hoping for close to 400 rwhp.

Thanks for the compliments on the paint, it was a struggle just to get the bodyshop to paint the Candy Color as it is alot of work and money to do. I have wanted that color for years, and I was never going to change my mind on it.

That thing is definetly some "eye candy"!!

**sunkistcamaro** · 01-17-2005

grtpmkn,
I'll try to get some pics up.

**Little Bob** · 01-17-2005

I love that color. What base color did you go with? Was it gold or silver?

**Ralph LoGrasso** · 01-17-2005

Car looks great! That paint is amazing!!

**justanova** · 01-17-2005

that paint is awesome. car looks great, itll be a killer ride with the ls1.

**Poopy** · 01-17-2005

Ok i'll have to admit, that when it comes to cars, red is my least favorite color.....ok I hate red. But the color you've come up with is amazing, I love it! Everything looks mint!

**Rybar** · 01-18-2005

Hey all thanks for the positive input on the car and the paint. I knew people would like this color, but never knew they would like it this much.

This is all very humbling coming from some guys on this site who have built such great pro-touring rides!!

This has been a very tough project for me, I almost sold this car about 1.5 years ago, but decided to sell my 4th Gen SC LT1 T/A and pursue this thing. I have been working on it for 6 years now, on a very tight budget. I got a second wind after it was painted, and now its a race to the finish. I hope to have the LS1 installed and running for this summer, and the interior almost complete as well. I'll keep you guys posted as the project moves forward.

Hey! I've heard of that site. :icon996:

The paint job looks great, not many people go with candy paint on musclecars anymore. Should stand out quite nicely when it is completed!

Man can I ever relate to that! Started mine 4/2000 and it's been stalled…that financial thing.. for the last year. Came real close to saying the heck with it several times. Just now coming into a second (or is it third or forth) wind. Seeing other's that are in the same boat helps keep motivation up. It can be depressing seeing other's plowing through one of these project in under a year while yours never seems to make progress! Thanks for the pics… And to echo the other's, that paint is drop dead gorgeous!

**Steve68** · 01-25-2005

Man, you don't know how many time I've quit on mine, sometimes not touching it for years, I've owned it since 1987, it's not near as finished as yours. Looks great, I love that color, keep prodding foward soon it'll be done, Steve
