Default Fesler Built 1969 BB Camaro project "DRACO"

Here is an interesting find an all original 1969 Chevy Camaro with no X-code, so with the right parts this car could have been a SS or RS that is in amazing condition as you can see. It appears that it has been painted once about 10 years ago and everything else on the car is stock.

We are going to tear it down and turn it into a full on 1969 Chevy Camaro Yenko Clone with all modern day equipment

I will try to keep a weekly update on the project so you can see the build and what we do to it.

Check back soon

Default Fesler Built new 1969 BB Camaro project update

We have picked the car up and taken it down to nothing, removed everything from it eninge, interior and all panels.

Sending it out to be media blasted and then we will seal it and start all the fab work.

This car is being built into a Yenko Clone as stated so there will not be that much body fabrication as the car needs to be stock looking but very clean.

Once we get the car back from Media Blasting we will know how good of a shell we have.
