Default 69 camaro build

Hey guys, Im new to the site from the Norcal Eastbay area. I really didnt know this site was for older cars, I thought it was primarily for g35 and m3 owners but after some research I discovered that this was the site I should have been on from the start. Originally I started on Camaros.net and Ls1tech.com, those sites are great. They have members that are really helpful with alot of knowledge but I think this site has more members on the same page as I. Many users on Camaros.net were primarily people restoring theyre cars to stock, some were restomods or pro touring but most were the oposite. Ls1tech simply had more people with ls1's (obviously, I want one but cant afford now) and the majority were not gen 1 f bodies or older cars in general. So here is what I have, I have a 69 Camaro. The car was believed to be a possible z28 or ss car by the guy that sold it to me but I havent been able to confirm that. The signs point to no however, nevertheless what I have is a car that had a lot of sheetmetal replaced, a new 350, a 4spd, and a ton of extra parts that I would later need or be able to sell and get more parts. Heres what I have done since having the car, I had all the sheetmetal welded into place and the body work done. I got the seats redone in leather and suede and used the tmi cushions in the front seats for a racing feel. The next thing I did was put tubular a arms and new shocks and springs on, after that I put electric hideaway lights and hid bulbs on. I knew I wanted to do something for floor so I put a rust preventative and dynomat substitute on( I liked how it came out) . Next was a hotchkis hollow sway bar and a set of qa1 double adjustable coil overs and shocks, finally what I did was put a ss hood and hotchkis sub frame connectors welded in. I recently bought a set of brembo brakes from a 2010 camaro, I painted the calipers using the g2 caliper paint kit and am currently doing homework on how to make those work and the ls brakes in the rear. Currently the car has stock front disc rear drum. Other than brakes I have to change the rallies to some rims I can afford and actually like then its off to paint! I will try to post pictures but if that doesnt work heres that link to my photobucket account. Let me know what u guys think and if you have any suggestion, I am happy to be on board and look forward to meeting some of the folks on here.
