I must be insane!
 

I have been a car nut for 40 years, My first car was a 76 455 4sp Black Trans AM. I guess I am trying to relive my youth. Going to build this all myself in my own Home Shop/Garage.

I started with a $200 71 Formula 4spd RUSTY CARCASS bought out of Wisconsin. I have replaced almost every panel except the roof and outer cowl. I have installed a DSE Quadralink, Minitubs, Subframe Connectors, and Hydorformed Subframe. Wilwood Aero 6 Brakes, and have Been working with Jason Rushforth on a set of wheels. LT4, Ultimate Headers, TKO-600, and a 9".

Here are a few picks of along the way.

Wow! You’ve got the makings of a great project car, love those early 70’s Camaro’s. Any thoughts on an exhaust system yet? Can’t wait to see the finished product. Until then good luck on the build!

Will build my own out of Stainless Mandrel Bends. Not sure on mufflers, Want it reasonably quiet though!

Wow...look forward to seeing this build come together. :thumbsup:

I love 2nd gen builds and looking forward to seeing this one.

On a side note I have a set of NOS door skins if you need them. I bought them and then realized they were not for a Camaro.

Maybe a little insane but when it's finished you can look back at what you built,very nice so far.That engine will make it fun to drive:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks for the compliments!

The goal is to do all the work myself. It will take a few years, but it is my midlife crisis car!

I have done most of the work before in some capacity on other cars in my past. I did the muscle car thing for quite a few years, then the street rod thing. I sold off a couple cars to build this one.

I still have a 55 Chevy 210 (pretty rotten, but has a lot of local history)

Also a fiberglass 32 Ford 3 Window coupe and a 29 Ford roadster pickup. Neither of these are enjoyable to drive.

Now its time to build something you can drive hard and enjoy!

Good job on the work. Keep us updated. I too love 2nd gens.

Lot of work you've done! Looks great.
