Another FNG here
Just wanted to intro myself. I've been looking in vain for a nice second-gen Camaro for awhile when a buddy calls me and asks if I want to buy this '69 that he's been sitting on for awhile.
Without further ado, here's "Project Idiotech" :D
It's a base model, no A/C manual brakes, manual steering, mono-leaf and 10 bolt. Big plus is it's a 4spd car and it started right up after 5 years of the road.

It's not my first resto-mod, but it is my first domestic resto-mod. For reference below is my last project. A 1978 Porsche 911SC that I turned into my version of a 1973 911RS.
Starting point:
Ended up with this:
With any luck this 69 will turn out as nice(and probably less expensive, Porsche parts are huge money!)

Welcome, if the Camaro turns out half as nice as the Porsche it will be a very nice car.

Thanks everyone!
I did get started this weekend stripping the trunk lid and found there was a few small dents as well as some moderate surface rust where the spoiler was. Also found a couple small pinholes that I'll need to address. I'll start putting up pics in the main forum soon!
