Default LS1 and T56 on a Budget?? Sort of....

BUMP to the Top!!

I bought a wrecked 99 Camaro with a T56 which is swapping into my 1969 Camaro. Lots of parts are finding their way into the first-gen, the dash, steering column, console, front seats, e-brake set up. It is a lot cheaper then you might think if you can find a donor car with all kinds of working parts to steal from. Selling parts off the 1999 to help fund the 1969 build. I bought a 1969 painted shell that someone else ran out of money and I picked it up. Not exactly a budget build, but a TON less than most other projects shown under construction on this site.

I think I just might be CRAZZZZY enough to get the gauge cluster, trunk release, wiper motor and cruise control working in it too after I tear apart the wiring harness and delete the unnecessary stuff.

I don't want to mess with the stock ABS, heater or sound systems from the 1999. I'm planning to go aftermarket for the heater/AC and sound system.
