Project Orange Crush - 73 Camaro
 
Well, I picked up a 73 Camaro a few weeks ago and plan to go PT with it. It will be a slow budget build with the primary focus on function over looks.

Paint looks good in pictures however it's really a single stage orange peel job. Previous owner had recently painted it and added the torque thrust wheels with new tires. It was a lucky score as I traded a 2002 F250 crew cab V10 truck for it.

Wow that's a nice starting point George, so what are your plans for it?? How was body before he painted it? Nice to see another 2nd gen getting built.

Overall in good shape with solid floor pans and trunk. Some rust at the A-pillars/dash corners and some bondo at the right rear corner.

Plans are to upgrade the suspension using GW and Hotchkis components, then install a new disc brake LSD rear end, rebuild the existing small block and invest in some wheels and 200 TW tires.

Rick - I'll be watching your build for ideas as well.
