Default '71 Camaro Project...

As some of you know, I have been looking for a '70-'73 Camaro that was already done.. I looked at a few nice cars but in the end, I would have to make changes to each car to make it my own. I decided to get a nice car and build one myself. I decided to build one the way I want plus I was getting bored, all my other cars are already done. Anyway, I picked up this car from a friend of mine. He has owned it for about 4 years and planned on building a Pro-Touring car out of it but never got around to it. He even had a brand new DSE front subframe that went with the car. It's a '71, was bought brand new in Winston Salem NC. It stayed in the same area all it's life. All original panels except for the right front fender that had a dent in it so they replaced it when they painted it 4 years ago. I have all the original paperwork including the protecto plate. It is a original blue/blue car, but I am changing the color. I am leaving for LA in the morning for a week, when I get back, I will start tearing it apart. My plans are RS front, full DSE suspension front & rear, Baer brakes, mini-tubb, 4 point bar, LS7, T56, Vintage air/heat ect. I am planing on painting it silver w/blk stripes. Here are a few cell phone pics I took last night..
