Welcome to the site. That is cool that you and your dad have a common interest. How lucky are you to have a 69 camaro at your age. I didn't get my 1st gen until I was in my late 20's.
I know you will appreciate it the car a whole lot more since you and your dad are doing the work instead of just having a set of keys dropped in your lap to a shinny new car.
This forum is full of knowledge and awesome cars.
Enjoy your prom.
