Doug,
Don't sweat it brother,your 69 Camaro is a awesome ride..not many people can appreciate a 40+ year old car on the road today,sure its not 100% and it shouldn't be,but that is what makes it so cool. Its what my dad used to say "if you don't have anything to say nice...don't say it at all" some people get it..and some don't!
Keep up the awesome 9 most would kill to have it in there garage!
