Project "PullingOut" 69 Camaro
 

Where to start…This is my first true build. I bought the car sight unseen from Ebay. The owner did NOT know his wife posted it for sale with a phone number to call and after 30 minutes of convincing him he needed to sell it, it was mine. I bought it within 30 minutes of it being posted for sale with no buy it now. The car was almost rust free except for a small marble size hole in the rear window channel. It was an original vinyl top car as well. All original panels except for the front sheet metal and a small patch panel on the left quarter panel that was done years ago. The car was being worked on by a shop 1,000 miles away from home and NOT to my standards. I pulled my car out of the shop just before any real damage/work could be done hence the project name “Pulling Out.” Pulling Out is always the best option in life if you have any doubts. :lmao: When it was time to pick the shop to take over my build there was no doubt in my mind, I was taking it to American Muscle Restoration in Cleveland,TN. John is very meticulous about his cars and takes the same care with his customers cars. John has been on budget throughout the process and on time as well. I could talk on and on about the work they do but I will let the pictures speak for themselves…

Nice car to start with,I like your parts list,great start.

John wasted NO time getting to work on the car, after the game plan was established. No crazy body mods just side marker delete and a little massaging here and there. The car was "put together" by the previous shop and it was John and I's decision to take it apart and make sure nothing was overlooked.

The tailpan had to be cut out and pulled back 1/4" to make it more smooth/correct and not just filled in with a bunch of filler

Thanks for Compliment! I cannot wait for it to be done. I cannot say enough great things about John Oxford and American Muscle Restoration.

Nice start and plan Jarrod!! What are the plans for color and interior?

Thanks Rick!!! The car came complete with a NEW orange houndstooth interior but If budget permits I will go full out custom. The car has already been painted Porsche Black. I will post more progress pics tonite.:thumbsup:
