I understand the limited budget thing, but I bet if you contacted some vendors you would get some donated parts. Just an idea.

i went to votech and loved it and still on the allum board to help when i can. very cool what you are letting them do. i painted our auto service teachers drag 67 chevelle when i was a senior and as far as i know he still has it after 10 years.

Just found this thread after you PM'd me at Camaros.net. That is a great looking project. I'll bet it's going to turn out awesome.

Our door gaps are 1/4in .Should we keep working to get 3/16in or leave it alone?

[syborg tt]

1/4" for a street car is more then acceptable.

[Two68s]

I agree, 1/4" is good. You want to leave some of the character of 60's muscle cars, and part of that is gaps. I like door gaps, albeit straight ones.

I wish I had a program like this when I was in school. I'm a product of Jefferson Co. schools (Bham native) although we had shop class, we didn't get to build a '69 Camaro from the ground up!! I am enjoying this build and loving the pics. The quality of work looks great from the pics and the best part is the students are learning! When you finish the Camaro, you need to build a Ford and take them both to the track!!

Its really cool that you are doing this with the kids. I wish I could have done that when I was in highschool. Is that the wheel and tire combo you are running?

[tillman]

Yes

[rlplive]

Awesome. I wish i had that in highschool. The vocational college here does not even offer anything like this.
