Fletcher's Customs 69 RS/SS Camaro
 
Well, the Camaro bug bit me again this weekend at the swap meet in Moultrie. I went up there with plans of purchasing a second gen Camaro, but everything there was junk or way over priced... Looked this 69 over numerous times thoughout the weekend. But his price was just way too high... Sunday morning I made him a offer of what I thought it was worth and we made a deal later that afternoon! Got him down 10K from what he was asking... So I drove the car home!! :thumbsup:

Car is a California car, all original sheetmetal. Still have yet to run the numbers to verify for sure, but car appears to be as presented, a real RS/SS car! All the right things are there and from my little bit of tag knowledge it appears correct. Car was bought because it's laser straight, new interior, perfect chrome and trim! I wanted a car to bolt some parts on and run this summer at the Goodguys, RTTH and others. We'll be doing full suspension, brakes, tires and wheels, Vintage Air, Keisler 5-speed and some other little things over the next few months.

Basis of the project is to show folks that it doesn't have to be a super high end custom build to get out there and run with the big boys!! :yes:

Specs as she sits now
-12 bolt rear with 3.73 gear
-Hotchkis 2" drop leafs and shocks
-Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
-Qa1 front coliovers
-20/18" Foose wheels
-12" 2 piston wilwoods on all 4
-new deluxe houndstooth interior
-built 396 with a lot of internal goodies
-Turbo 350 trans (the first thing to go!)

Here is the only pic for now, as it's raining down here. I'll get more up as soon as it drys up...

Ty's car is being wrapped up over the next few weeks. And then off to PRI and then home to him till the show season starts back up.

The 69 will sit on the back burner and be driven and enjoyed for a month or so till I get caught up

Ah ha.... I thought Ty's car only needed a radiator hose and fuel lines... and it was "done". Figured that would be done by now...

After working so much for the seven weeks prior to SEMA, we as a shop took off for week. There quite a few little things to do to Ty's car. Fuel lines,rad hoses, wire guages, finish A/C system, etc. We will have it done shortly, but lately I've been dedicated to my family.

Should have it back right after we film the PowerBlock in January...
I could get it back after PRI next month but then we have to run up to Nashville in Jan, so I figure I might as well leave it with Chad and give him more time to enjoy the family over the holidays...
