Default 69 Camaro lsx 427 turbo build (AKA) Sinister

Hello
This introduction/build thread is long overdue! I've been reading and looking at this site for inspiration and ideas for quite some time. I was fortunate enough to have come across a rust free 69 Camaro out of California quite a few years back and started a pro-street style build. At the start of the build (2002) the first thing i did was strip the car down to a bare shell and put in a Chris Alston 4-link and cage. I purchased a ls6 and 6-speed and started to set it up for the strip! I had never really seen a pro-touring style car let alone anything with ls power back then. But the car was put aside as life got in the way and she was put into Por-15 and storage for a few years. I worked in a body/performance shop restoring and fixing everyones car but mine. Eventually i started to see some serious pro-touring cars online and in various forums and thats when i decided that will be the new direction for the car. So after a marriage and 2 kids and a couple other car restorations it was time to get back to the Camaro! You will see in some of my pics some rework and change of direction as the build progresses. I wish I would have started this thread from day one but I didn't even know about this site back then! I will post some pics of the car then and in it's early stages to try and put together a complete build thread.
