Steve,
You're right that $15k won't cut it, but I really think $20k will. I actually have less than $15k in mine right now and get all kinds of thumbs up's when I'm out driving it. It's not perfect by any means, has a little rust and a wee bit of primer, but it still looks really good. I have to respectfully disagree that $30k is an "average joe" budget. Maybe it's because of the area of the country I live in that shapes my opinion (Georgia BTW). Or maybe it's because I bought mine at a really good deal (from my brother) to keep it in the family, so maybe that has skewed my opinion as well. In your defense (I'm not much of a debater am I??) I have to remember that 67-69 Camaros are getting to the point that the car purchase by itself would break most average joe's budgets. Thanks for the comments. I'm sure you are right - $30k is much more doable with new parts.
Good luck with your build. I am sure I will enjoy tracking it start to finish.
(edit - flow of my post didn't look right - had to fix it!)
