but the cool thing is I picked up on part trade a ver nice 71 RS Camaro- that has a zz430 motor and needs some updates..I just ordered wheels, I'll start a build tread tonight~~Chris

Sounds pretty exciting.

Should of kept it looked like a nice car.

I didn't know Fedx could transport cars. Good to know. At least Fedx would have insurance and stand behind any damage that happens during transport.

Congrats,

It is a very cool car. Atleast you have something to build with the trade in.

Was a killer car for sure. :thumbsup:

Chris Shelton is a hoot hey? He does awesome work :cheers:

Damn I'd miss that car!!
Looking forward to the new build.

Congrats! Another build begins. :)

Good for you man. I hope you at least took her out for one final beating:D

Until they figure out how much the car is worth and what the repair costs would be. :willy:

congrats on the sale. That car was better quality than what many pro shops turn out, you should be very proud of what you've accomplished.

I can't wait to see what you do with the second gen................ :D

Jody

Now I though your 68 was nice, no offense..:_paranoid I think I like this one better.... I always loved the 70-73 camaro style when done right... I hope you did well on the trade and hopefully some cash along with it... Very nice...:thumbsup: Sounds like your prayers were answered for the sale and another one in return... is'nt God good...:D

Blessings,
AMS

Congratulations Chris, glad to see you sold your car and got another project to start in on.
Lenie

Congrats Chris.:thumbsup:

Cool.. what magazine did he shoot it for??? :unibrow:

Good deal Chris!! What brand wheels did you order for the second gen? :lol: Perhaps Jay will cut some one-offs for ya?

I love the early cars...this will be fun to watch! Good colors too! Can I drive it in July?? :unibrow:

Where did the 68 move to? Did you make a deal with a member here?

you can definitely drive it in July

The 68 went to a Collector in Nebraska- Bryan Frank- totally stand-up guy, I hope to do more business with him in the future.

Yes, Jason has something on the drawing board that haven't been produced yet- this will be the first set!

24" rims- raise it another 5" and we are good- :unibrow:

hummm... Again- what a great guy- :lateral:

I say mix it up a little! How about 24's with raised white letters? :lol:

Congrats, I'm glad I was able to see it at SEMA a few months ago. Great car.

Now the 2nd Gen looks like a lot of fun, I love those RS split bumpers.

Congrats on the sale Chris and good luck on the future project! If it is anything like the 68 - it will be stellar!:thumbsup:

congrat on the sale:thumbsup:

Congratulations...I'm glad I had the chance to see it in Pleasanton before you sold it :thumbsup:

I look forward to seeing what you do with the new one...

Congrats on the sale!!!
That 2nd gen looks like a nice project car. Looks like it might be pretty rust free as well.
Where did you find such a nice looking car?
GOOD LUCK!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Bittersweet yes...but that looks like one hell of a nice 2nd Gen to develop into your own.:yes: ...congrats Chris and welcome to the world of 2nd Gen Camaro's.
Don't be a stranger,join us over @ www.nastyz28.com and share your progress.

your camaro was sweet i also got a chance to see it over in Pleasanton, cant wait to see what u do with your new car

Bummer to see it go Chris, I was hoping to see it in July. But now you have a really nice one to work with and I can relate to the split bumper thing! (I have a 70 rs)
It will be nice to have another one going together closer to me, maybe we can bounce ideas back and forth, or if you ever need a second set of hands just let me know! I'd be glad to pitch in anytime. I do know the difference between a screwdriver and a socket. I'm also real good at holding the drop light! :lol:

Kudo's to you Chris

okay so where is the link to the Camaro build ???????

:willy: :willy: :willy:

hey Congrats and also for the ink in camaro preformers this month even if they did call it a 69????

Bitter sweet is an understatement. I love the pic of it getting loaded into the transporter but it puts a little knot in my stomach. We have a lot of memories with that car, unfortunately most of them are in the garage or the dually with it behind us in the trailer but Chris came out with a great deal in the end and I'm so glad he has a cool car for the summer although, he's always welcome shotgun in the Buick which is about to get a build thread started too and be back on the road before July. Artwork of both cars coming shortly.

Tony, I don't think they make raised white letter 24s yet, so we're doing Vogues. Mustard and Mayo, Baby!

thanks guys for all the compliments!- wow first build in years and it has been so much fun...I know it's not the Oscars but it is pretty cool when you get ink in the mag, hit a few shows and then someone steps up to pay a decent price for it so I can pay the debt off and still have another cool car at the end of the day... all because a few years ago JayR said, " hey check out Lateral-g"...

The funny thing is my wife is bugging me to do another full build on another car and I just picked up an LS2 last week...hummm... anyone know of a solid first gen body this side of the Rockies for under 5k???- Chris

I thought you had another car already? I may be able to help on the second gen under 5k.
If you are still looking let me know.
Eric

I just tried to send you a PM and your "in box" is full. You have to clear out some space to get more.

That's funny, Bryan bought my Blue 69 Camaro way back when.... cool dude!

Congrats Chris, looking forward to seeing what you do with the 2nd Gen. I'm sure Jason has that hood coming off like yesterday....

uhh. sorry for the confusion- I do have a second gen that is being shipped to me. it just needs a basic facelift. the LS2 is for a full on rebuild of a first gen.

inbox is cleaned..take care..chris

what you don't like the ski-jump!!!:lol:

wow, you are yet another guy that I know of who has sold a car to Bryan...wonder how many he has???

In the back of Camaro Performers they put your car as a 69

Seriously, what do those guys know?

Sorry, we caught that a bit late. Generally Readers Rides is one of the last things to go in the magazine, so during the thrash to make deadline, "little" mistakes like this aren't uncommon. No excuse, but not uncommon.

BTW - when the full feature is written, we'll be sure to get the year correct... I promise.

Nick L

Nick- Thanks for the magazine love- wow- even some front cover action- Can't wait to see Chris' pics in print- very cool guy- thanks again- dude you can call it whatever you want..ITS IN A MAG!!!- Chris:D

Looks like your old car is up for sale again.

The place is only 20 miles from me. I guess I don't get out much, I've never heard of the place. :)

Looking into it a little more, I think MW classics is just a broker. The address on the website is of a residential area.

Here's where the car is located. Which looks to be the guy you sold it to.
