the redfire 69 camaro

[redfire69]

Hi guys,

I just joined today, but I've gotten alot of inspiration from your rides for my current project: a 69 camaro resurrection. I've started with a rusted out shell and I'm currently back-halfing the car with new floors, framerails, quarters, tailpan, etc. So far the only thing I've decided on is the color: Red Fire Pearl Metallic, hence the name.

I'll post more and submit pics for a members car page soon, until then check out my last project - an 80 Trans Am (more of a restomod than a g-machine).

Cheers!!

Welcome!! Sounds like a lot of work, but my hats off to you for saving another one!!

[redfire69]

Thanks! This will be a longer term build, but nothing time, a welder, and a tetanus shot won't fix!!

BTW, my wife's two rules to working on the camaro: "#1 - don't get hurt, #2 - don't set the house on fire!"

Sounds like a good woman! Very reasonable terms!!
