70 Camaro "Mistress"

[69496]

Lame name I know but I'm not good at picking names. I picked up a 70 Camaro that I am gooing to try and do a budget build on. I hope to drive this as my daily driver so we will see how it goes. So here it goes.


This is what it looked like when I brought it home. very happy with the condition and the price. Interior had a cheapo redo on it but it is all there and in decent condition. Hate vinyl tops so that has to go. Drivetrain is a 383 with a small cam, rpm manifold, holley, and S/R torquer heads. Hedman shorty headers and flowmaster. TH350, 10 bolt open diff 3.08.

My basic plan is as follows before I sell my truck and drive this puppy daily.

• Inexpensive paint job. Get rid of vinyl. add front and rear spoilers. Add split bumper.
• ProCar seats, New dash and full set of gauges, Add new heat and A/C system.(SoCal)
• Hotchkis springs, QA1 shocks, Hellwig bars and somebodies subframe connectors.
• Brakes corvette C5 Z51
• Wheels and tires up in the air right now but hopefully NewGens and Nitto's if my plan works out
• If I have the money I want a TKO trans, however I will probably have to settle for a 700R4 as my overdrive.
• Swap in a 12 bolt 3.73 posi I have lying around.
• Last but not least will be an LS motor of some kind. I probably won't put the LS in for a while but it is on the list.

Now for pics of where I am at now.



Vinyl top gone, rear spoiler added, Bigger rallyes on for now (had them), and Satin Black paint. I will be adding a gloss back stripe on the hood with a red pin, hopefully that turns out looking ok. I did a basic tuneup on the motor for now and it helped out quite a bit. Hopefully I can keep my progress up like some of the builds on this site. I will update as things change (hopefully improve).

Love the site guys and hope to see you on the autocross! And I guess I need to add something to my sig!
