New project intro "Project Aftermath" (69 Camaro SS)

[fletcherscustoms]

I posted a couple months ago about this car and plans have changed drastically and the build has started. Car is a original X55 350/3 speed true "SS" car that we "cut up". Just makes your original more valueable!! lol Sorry guys I'm just not a original guy!

Parts are arriving daily by the truck loads it seems. Car is a high dollar build that is being built as the new shop car, but like everything will be for sale once done for the right amount. I am basically trying to one up myself on "Project Shop Beater" that I just sold. This car I plan to keep and enjoy as every 69 Camaro I have owned (6) have only been around a few months at most after being finished. So I am building this one exactly like I want! The body is done, and in primer. We actually purchased this body from Mike's Custom cars in Carolina. When I decided to build another car after finishing "shop beater' I was to busy in my shop with customers to get a car in and redo teh sheetmetal for myself. So I contacted Mike and he ahd this one, so we agreed on a price and got it home. If I ever have another project that requires a complete ground up build, I'll be buying another car from him! He is great to work with and does a damn good job! Car has every new panel available and some that aren't yet. Oh well enough of this crap lets get into the build.

Body:
-All new Sheetmetal, quarters, roof, rockers (inner and outer) floor pans, trunk pans, DSE tubs, tailpanel, firewall, dash, two panels, everything known to man

Christmas does come in August. Everything DSE makes for a 69 Camaro , thanks to GPsuperstore for the help aquiring this stuff. Even though I am shop DSE still would not give me a break.

very nice BM
did u scrap the DSE tubs to fit those tyres?

[fletcherscustoms]

No still using the DSE tubs. From the looks of it with just using the tires, it appears my biggest problem is going to be the outer wheelhouse. The width is not to big of deal till I try to set the rear way down low like I like it!! I am still waiting on the wheels to get here and to get the car on the rotisserie and get it upside down and see how much trouble I'll really have.
