Well.....after six and a half years and a few set backs, I finally have another 67 Camaro. I have learned a few things about Pro Touring cars, shops, vendors and myself while working to get to this point. My plans have changed more than a few times and the number of build sheets are as numerous as the wheel selections at SEMA. Mainly I've realized what's right for me and it's going to be a lot of fun.
My goal is to have a well balanced car. Performance, looks, comfort and not to hard on the budget. It sounds simple enough...right?
After a lot of searching, I found the right car right here on L-G. I bought the car from PSV (Paul), who bought the car from JEFF-SAN, so it's been around here a for a few. Paul lives in Farmington, NM so I grabbed a trailer, drove out and drug it home. It is an outstanding car to start a build with.
The car started life as fairly plain Jane and at some point started receiving a lot of RS/SS upgrades and is a pretty impressive clone. I have to admit, it's been a lot of fun driving the car and the LS6 doesn't suck.
After a few months of fun with the car, it was time to get things started. After a lot of debate, I settled on AME suspension and chose their nose to tail Sport GT package. The front sub has AME's latest C7 components and their 4 bar setup out back. The suspension, along with a few other parts, arrived in one heck of a crate.
Pretty much game on once it arrived.
