Default Want Opinions on Next Project

I have finally decided to get out of the late model stuff in favor of getting back to where I started with old muscle. I am looking at building my first PT style build. Seeing as my dad wont let me touch his 71 Nova or 72 C10, I have to buy my own project.

I am looking at a 68 Camaro and a 71 Split Bumper Camaro. Both are in the same range as far as purchase price, Body work needed, and over all shape.
I have not ruled out a SWB 67-72 truck either. I really like PorterBuilts drop member and C5 suspension.

I guess I am looking for opinions on what platform is the best to start with. Around Bowling Green first gen Camaro’s are all over the place. The 70-73 Camaro’s are rarely seen.

I am not looking to set the world on fire with my first build. I am shooting for a good driver that has decent overall handling, braking, and power. I like to the looks of the old cars with the handling of the new cars. I have been spoiled by the typical 700rwhp LS1 Turbo cars I usually turn out of my shop.

Any tips, opinions, suggestions, and so forth are welcome. I am glad to be a part of the forum.
