KYTP 1970 Camaro Build
 
I sold my 2002 Z28. Made a 17hr round trip to pick up this 1970 Camaro. Is needs a roof skin but other wise is 95% rust free.

The plan is to build a budget minded 2nd GEN PT Camaro.
-LS1/T56 Combo
-Mild Suspension Upgrades
-Wilwood Brakes
-CCW or like wheels and 18" tires
-Solid color paint

Pretty much a solid handling, good looking car.

Me and a buddy spent a little time with the car last night. managed to pull the seats and rear carpet to check the floors. Spent a little time on the roof too.

It will be great to see another 2nd gen getting the treatment. I know they are not too popular yet, because I will post updates to my build thread and no one even looks at it, but they are great cars. I am sure the appreciation of them will go up soon.

Plus, I keep thinking, people are going to be tired of 69 Camaros soon, right?

The original plan was a 68 Camaro. I am just burnt out on them. The early 2nd Gens cars have always been my favorite.

Was this car on ebay? I saw a 2nd Gen with the roof smashed in from a car carrier or something.

I have looked into everything some a mild leaf rear setup and factory style front setup, to full tilt after market subframe fronts and 4 bar rears.

The plan is to keep the car with in a realistic budget for the average guy. I amy get into building some of these cars. I have the turbo thing nailed down at the shop. Looking at bring my best freind who is a body guy on board and looking into new venues.
