My High school 69' Camaro build

[fredd7924]

Hi I have been lurking around on this site for a while now, but just now got the time to create an account and introduce myself. I started the 1969 Camaro project when i first turned 16 and completed it when i turned 18.
I paid for everything myself and did all the work myself except for welding in the quarter panels and rocker panels. I built the engine, transmission, rear, welded in the floor and dash, did all the body work, installed power disc brakes, installed all the glass, headliner and the rest of the carpet. Here is some pictures from start to end.
Currently I'm a freshman at Pennsylvania college of Technology for Automotive Technology and Business Management.


Started out as a 307 with a powerglide
