New to me anyways. Picked up a 69 Camaro a few days back. Looks like my ls1 is going to stay slow.

Just have to decide which ones gonna be fast. The other just has to look good. I'd just cruise the 69.

how much you pick that up for? looks pretty sturdy for a 69, is the a lot of rust?

Does that always has to be the first question?

Looks badass man! Hope you got some time and money to spend that looks like a long road to completion but a good start, quarters already done, hood, wheels, someone just got sick of it? I say get rid of the LS-1 so you have more motivation and cash to make the 69 badass

Ya I know. I got it for a good deal I'll say. Quarters need redone as the trunk seam has some rust and whoever did these did a bad job, but it did come with another set of quarters... theres spot in the floor and rear filler panel... Thats about it as far as the body goes. Engine is a pretty fresh bbc 408 12.5:1 cr. Sounds pretty nuts with open headers haha. Once I get a chance would like to look into swapping to e85/98 eventually. Needs to be cleaned up and road worthy first though.

Gotta respect good old american muscle... I never really fell in love with that style Camaro/Firebird for some reason. Should be a fun project, expensive I would guess but FUN!!

Not with this drivetrain it isn't. I think that'll be reserved for the ls1 still.

Small update I guess. Ordered a complete bolt kit for the interior (backordered for the past 2 months now...) and exterior, gauges, seals, few other odds and ends. Haven't put much on it yet. Cleaned out the whole inside and found more work than I expected. Hope to get it in one color before next summer, Get headers, exhaust, carb, new harness, and run it like that until I can afford to do all the body and paint at once. Had to get a new subframe cause the one on it now is pretty hacked up to clear the oil pan.

Going to need new mounts but oh well. The whole belly pan on my old one is pretty bad. I need to get a pic.

nice checklist, thats how you do it just one thing at a time. Reminds me of the checklists I had for my rx7 build and my turbo build. Transfer to computer when your done and keep it as well as all part numbers you buy. I also keep reminders of things to check on like areas where wiring might rub or wear or reminders to retorque certain bolts. I keep all compression test results, suspension setting, etc in my note files. really comes in handy later

Car looks solid, checked it out a little bit when I was out there helping Jacob with the rx7 a couple of months back.

Haha ya thats our Bernese Mtn. Dog, Duke. Year and a half old almost. He's a monster.

Thanks guys. Honestly whats taking the most time is research. Trying to figure out what I want to do with it just to get it out and what to do in the long run. I've spent a lot of hours just looking through my assembly manual.

And those headers are a little smaller than I'm looking to go with, but I take a little info on them. Anything is better than whats on it now, they are clearanced pretty harshly.

Ya I think I'd kill someone if I had to try and tackle this in a garage. I get cranky when I'm trying to work in tight places, or cant find the stuff I need. Thats also half my issue is saving up for things I want in the shop; air compressor, sand blaster, etc. Only thing the shop itself doesn't have is water. Once we can find a place with water, hoist will be on that list too. Its right next door to a buddy of mines shop too... even though he's a dbag. Deimos knows.

Small update I guess. Been working on getting all the required odd's and ends done. Pretty much boring bolt on stuff that has to get done. Door handles, latches, locks, trunk latch, hood latch, core support, fog light panel, grill is what I've gotten done so far. The list is still long, but its a start. Also decided e85 will be the way to go just due to its price and all the stations with it now.
