I dont think it would lead to a divorce. :cheers:

That is my point. I would like to ease into building some cars for customers and for myself. Skill and ability is there. I just want a car that stands out and proves that you dont have to spend $75-100k on a car to make it cool.

Time will tell.

Well I sold the 2002 Z28 this morning. I am definatley buying a Project. The search begins.

Good luck project hunting. I think either the '68 or '70 would be awesome.

I'm guessing it will sport one of your turbo LSX motors?

Yeah most likley down the road... I have tossed around the Idea of a 383SBC engine with a 78mm and a TKO600 for for a lower budget approach. I am very fimailar with the in's and out's of fuel injecting the older engine combo's.

Search is over. Didnt last too long.

Deposit has been made on a rust free 1970 Camaro. Factory 350/4spd, A/C, California Car. It is rock solid. I scored a 396 BBC with the deal. The wife is happy trhat I only spent about half of what I had budgeted for the initial purchase.

As of right now the build is looking like the following:

1970 Camaro
396 BBC Fuel injected
TKO600 or T56
Moser 9" Housing
Speed Tech front Bolt on package.
Some type of 4 bar system in the rear.
Wilwood brakes all around
DSE mini tubs

I have a set of 17x9.5 and 17x11 Chrome ZR1 wheels for the time being if they will fit.

Engine will be built with a 9:1 compression ratio. It will see a Turbo eventually.

I will have pics as soon as I get the car home.
