The 71 Split Bumper gets my vote. Not many of them have been given the treatment. It would be a lot fun to watch one come together here on the board....then again there all fun to watch.

:thumbsup:

I'd go 2 gen as well. I have absolutely no regrets with my 69, but an early 70's Camaro was a possibility for a moment. Definitely not many now and even less then.

Josh,
Which car do you like? Both of the cars you listed have the potential to be sweet.

Keep up the good work.

Just so everyone knows:
Josh builds turbo systems for 98-02 camaro and 04-06 gto. He has a fantastic rep on LS1tech. Josh built a 800rwhp camaro with a tc76 turbo...WITH STOCK EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.

andrewmp6: Why not a 73-87 c10 or a late model s10 or colorado.What about a g body there is a lot cars out there.

I have never been a fan of thet body style.

As for other cars I have looked at a few Dusters/Demons. The Pro Touring style is not real prelavent localy. I am looking to set a trend localy and open the shop up to future venues. Looking to expand my line of Fabrication work.

I am going to look at the 68 this weekend. It is local. Assuming my 02 Z28 sales as planned I will be picking something up for sure. Its a toss up righ now.

Josh, I may have to sell my 70 rs Camaro. It is a project car but it is also very complete and is in bare metal at this point. The current eng/trans are toast (really big paper wieghts). Like I said, I may have to sell it. I'll know for sure in the next week or two.

The 2nd gen gets my vote I think we already have enough 1st gens running around.

I agree. However the wife doesn't. She is all about the 68 Camaro. She doesnt like the 2nd Gens at all. She hated the 71 Split bumper I had before. I would really like to have her on board with this project. That way she doesnt freak out when she see 's the $$$$ I am gonna spend on it.

Has your wife checked out Dale JR/DSE 2nd gen?

This car changed my mind about 2nd Gens

As a second gen owner and advocate, I'm going to say something here I never thought I'd say. Buy the 68 and keep your wife happy. It'd be cheaper than a divorce and losing your business..........;)

Well if you want to be like every other 67-69 camaro build one.

I would do the truck that just sounds cool. a 2nd gen camaro would be my next choice
