Project "Payback"

[Vegas69]

I have been lurking around here for quite a while and thought I would introduce my project that has recently started. It took me nearly a year to find the right car for the project. I ended up purchasing a all original 307 car with 90k original miles and have already sold a bunch of parts I don't need to the guys on camaros.net. I had purchased another car but found it to be rough and ran across this car and couldn't pass it up.
I named the car Payback due to a long story that I'll keep fairly short. I purchased a 1968 camaro at the beginning of my senior year in highschool for $3500. The dealer I bought it from agreed to paint it any color I wanted as part of the deal. I decided on corvette yellow with black Z28 stripes. I picked the car up and paid cash. It had a 400 small block and turbo 350. Turns out the car was destined for the junk yard before the shop rescued it. I took it to prom and raced the car out on the country roads quite a few times and did well. The 400 was tired along with pretty much all the mechanical parts. I spent the next three years and every dime I made restoring the mechanical parts of the car. I built a 355 with a steel crank, decked block, double hump heads ported and polished, etc. Rebuilt the entire suspension, brakes, transmission, repainted the engine copartment, underneath, bushings etc. Well I finally had it just the way I wanted it and had about 2000 miles on the clock when I decided to move to Las Vegas. I stored it and planned to come back for it the moment I had a place to keep it. That never happened. I got a phone call that it had been stolen and they did eventually find the car. It was stripped and I couldn't take it back. I got a measly 7500 bucks from the insurance company.
I have always wanted to build another one so I am going to payback the piles of dog **** that stole it by building my idea of the perfect 1969 camaro resto mod style. Most of the parts are already bought and I will post updated throughout the project.
