Allow myself..... to introduce myself....

[JohnM69SS]

Hi all, well I might not fit in here exactly, but I wanted to join up and see what I can learn from you all. I posted in another forum and "met" XcYZ and decided to check out this site and forum. Simply Amazing!

Before I started my project car, I was torn up about which path to take, stock restore or PT. Since my car was numbers matching, I went with a correct restore. It was missing many of the original parts, but it has been fun tracking them down.

I will live vicariously through you guys, if you do not mind! It's such an un-natural feeling when you de-tune a car by using stock parts knowing that you are reducing current performance.

I have a low optioned 1969 X-55 SS 350 Camaro. The resto is almost "complete" (are they ever?) and I will probably start to show it this summer. I still have some portions of the car that are not original, and hope to have the funds to get them replaced over the next year.

Here is a pic of my car, it was featured in December of the 2005 Camarosource Calendar.

This car is an X-55 code SS with the L-48 300HP 350, Muncie M-20 4 speed transmission and 3.55 posi rear. The only options that it has is front disc brakes and the ZL2 cold air induction system. No console.

Currently, the motor is out and at the machine shop. I should have it back in a few weeks and be up and running again in a month or so, just in time for spring!

Anyway, I look forward to becoming a member here and enjoying your projects.

John
