Default I'm scared of buying a 1969 Camaro shell!

Ok latley I've been wanting to sell my 1969 Camaro so I can start over and put my twist to the Camaro. I'm running in a few problems and I need your guy's help! So now that I'm looking for a nasty project 1969 Camaro car I've talked to people and they said that its going to take a lot of money just to get the body beautiful and straight and I told them ok no probelm. But this is my problem now, should I buy a complete shell thats been already done from a company for example: http://www.ss396.com/mm5/merchant.mv...ERTIBLEUNIBODY does this have the same value and does it even have a trim tag? Gosh I'm in a 2 way road I hate this!

I second that. With the time and money I've but into my 67 shell, a shell from Mikes Custom Cars would have been a bargain. Also, the workmanship that goes into his cars is top notch.

I don't think you can do one with out some big $$ anymore no matter how you go at it. I would wait for someone to dump a unfinished project and then finish it the way you want. Sometimes the bodys are all ready pretty much done and they have extra parts you can sell off to get some of you money back. It is a pain to find one but they are around and you have to really check it out in great detail and usually deal with tons of loose parts. But you can get a good deal and a title. I think the key for finding a deal is have the cash in hand and if you see a deal junp on it. I would want a car with the original VIN and title for that car.

You should give him a call ! He has a smoking deal on a 69 body right now all ready to go ! Its got all the bells and whistles (MCC DEEP TUBS FLAT FLOOR FIBERGLASS SEAT PAN ETC.) plus you can get this pretty quick! If you wanted him to start from scratch its about 25 weeks,he can get you this one in about 9. This is the way to go if you want a serius 69!!!! Great guy to work with to...

If it is the one he told me about a couple weeks ago, it is a true X55 SS car. Can't go wrong with MCC
