My 73 Camaro

[MtotheIKEo]

Welcome to my 73 Camaro build. I have been a member of the site for 10 years now (!), and finally have some progress worth putting into words. I have loved the idea of pro-touring cars since I first heard about them, and have always loved 2nd gen Camaros, and now I have the opportunity to start building my own "dream" car.

There are a lot of beautiful cars on this site, and this isn't one of them. I really just want a car that I can get in and drive to work in the morning, or take to the store, or drive back to my parent's house in CA without worrying about reliability, mileage, comfort, etc...

It took 3 years, but I just completed my first 400 mile weekend road trip so I know I'm on my way to my goal. The car rode rough, was clunky and rattled, and pretty hot, but all of that can be addressed down the road.

So starting from the start, I found the car on Craigslist, sent my dad and brother to look at it, they thought it looked good enough and bought it.

I drove down the hill and loaded the car up and brought it up to its new home in Reno.
