Default Hello Friends

Hi everyone,my name is Stan ,I live in southeast Pa,recently found this site and thought I would share my one year of progress on my 1969 Camaro.It started life as a 6 cly auto and was headed for the dragstrip when I found it.So far I have had the shell sandblasted and replaced the entire floorpan assy,trunk assy,tail panel, inner tail panel,both quarters,left rocker,inner(mini-tub) and outer wheel wells and roof panel.I sectioned the toe panels and patched the inner rockers.The sandblaster had it for 2 months last winter but this past spring and summer I got all the sheetmetal welded on and most of the bodywork done on the shell.I plated and smoothed the firewall and installed mini-tubs but not the crossmember.The plan for the rear suspension is the DSE 4-link,big brakes,17inch wheels and a Ford 9 inch rear.I am sure I can get a lot of great ideas from everyone here.I think it's a great site for sharing ideas.

Welcome to the site Stan, i'm sure you'll get all of the information you need to help finish your car, it's looking good. After replacing all of those parts I guess it was hardly worth blasting the shell as there's not much of the original left huh? lol

WOW, big project. It looks like it's turning out great! I can tell you that there is nothing like the first time you get it on the road... and it over heats! LOL! No, it really is fun when it starts up for that first time and you get any bugs worked out and then take it on the first drive. Keep those pictures coming.
