New from Minnesota
 

Hello to everyone, I'm Casey.

I've been over on Protouring for a while but I decided I like this place quite a bit more. It seems like there is a great group of guys on here and I really like the feel.

I'm from Minnesota and I'm building a '69 Camaro, I know there is a lot of hate towards them but I still love them and have always wanted one.

I am building this car with a ton of help from my dad and I couldn't do it without him. After my car is done I intend on helping him build his '66 Chevelle both on the financial side and mechanical.

I plan on starting a build thread sometime in the near future but for now I'll just share some photos...

Here is what I started with, a solid Georgia body.

Here is the foundation of the car...
Schwartz Performance Chassis
Baer 6P'S
Moser 9" Aluminum center section
WaveTrac Diff
Ride Tech Triple Adjustables

ETC.

Here is the body mocked up on the chassis...

Here is the car in a rough mock up stage. Ride height is what it will be.

Forgeline Triple Gloss black GA3R's
BF Goodrich Rivals
18x9.5 Fronts 275's
18x12 Rears 335's

Entire Anvil Auto front Clip
1/2 Carbon 1/2 Fiberglass

Hood, Cowl, Header, Fenders, Front Valance

Welcome and no hate here. That's lookin good!! :D

Yes sir, that car is crazy cool. What's up with engine/tranny plans?
Welcome to the site! Solid Georgia body? No such thing. I'm kidding.

Casey that is just cool. Keep goin Brother :cheers:

Wow, awesome foundation to build something. Looks good and welcome

Thanks! I Love the race truck. My dad raced Dirt Oval cars for almost 20 years so anything race related I can appreciate. I'm hoping to add a little race flavor to my car.

Thanks, I'm dead set on a Naturally Aspirated Mast LS7 but I just haven't figured out if I want to leave it at 427 cubes or go bigger. I love torque...

The decision on the trans will be later, that one is a debate.

Haha, yeah truth be told the only original part of that body is the roof and the firewall...

Thanks Ron! Absolutely love your build. I will have to start a build thread soon.

Hey Thanks!

Welcome to the place to be. :thumbsup:

I only know of a guy with a Torino on here who hates 69 Camaros.... I am sure he will be hating yours since he won't be able to catch you. :waveflag:

Great looking project and parts. :Tomcat:

That's a great start with some killer parts,that looks awesome sitting on that frame,great job so far,don't worry some of us still like the 69s on here but I like like them all even the Torinos.:gitrdun:

Haha, Thanks!

Hey Thanks, yeah it just seems like the popularity of them have caused a reverse effect and now certain people don't like them, but I do!

I agree 100% I like anything and everything...

Hate. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I'm stoked for anyone who is getting to build what THEY dream of owning. I owned a 69 Firebird back in the 80s. They are great looking cars and the massive amount of products out there makes them an easier build. I'm am kinda bored seeing them, that's all:underchair:

Looks like you have a great start. Starting with a full frame chassis is on the $$. The stance looks nice.:thumbsup:

Now the Chevelle, that I'll be stoked to see. We need some more Chevelles and 442s and maybe a Buick GS or two to fill out the GM camp on here.

Of course he should sell the Chevelle and build a 67 Fairlane.:stirthepot:

Welcome.

:cheers:

Thanks, I'm very happy to be building it.

The sooner I can get it built the faster I can get the Chevelle project going... which we have a Small Block that turns 9,000 RPM that's going into it. Not crazy power numbers but it's Naturally Aspirated and sounds amazing at full song.

A Fairlane?:headscratch: Probably not.

Great build! Can't wait to see it progress!!!!

Good deal!

Another Minnesota guy here too :)

Just 15 north of the cities :)

Hey Thanks, love the Eagan area. I'm over there quite a bit for work.

Thanks Eric, I definitely enjoyed watching your car come together, turned out great...

I love 1st gen Camaro's, looks like you have a great start. Good luck with your build!!
