Project "Resurrection"
 
3 Attachment(s)
Starting this thread on one of our project cars. It is a 69 Camaro that was origianlly completed and was being driven till one forgettable Sunday. The previous owner had taken the car to Barrett Jackson and ended up bringing it home as he did not get what he wanted at the auction. Soon after that he was taking a good friend for a ride, lost control and totaled the car. I bought the car back from the insurance Company and started the process. Here is a pic of the car at B.J. and at crash seen.

The first pictures made the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I saw them. It looks like you have it well under control. Are you staying with the same color?

Color
 
No, we actually have it back from the paint shop and it came out fantastic. I have much more to add. I have just now found the time to do this thread and I am putting all I have so far.

Some of the progress on the car. The car had a TCI 4 link already under it but was not mini-tubbed. We cut out all the 4-link and moved it all in to fit the 335s. We mini-tubbed it.
