Project "IN THE RED" 69 Camaro

[firstgencam]

Thought I would post up a few pics as my car develops. I hope to have the car done by the end of 2010. Already completed most of the hard part. Installed the one piece floor, Full qtrs, tailpan, trunk pan, DSE Minitubs, smooth firewall, 4pt cage with removeable back bar, 1/4 inch plate in package tray area to stiffen the car up, removed the factory braces between the back seat and trunk area and installed a solid sheet of metal to mount my amp, speakers, computer, etc to backside of, removed factory dash speaker grille and put a piece of flat metal in, and up next once my wheels and tires get here and my DSE speed kit 3, I will be installing the DSE frame connectors. The car is going to have a big inch LSX engine, T56 trans, and Moser 12 bolt, vintage air, baer brakes on all 4 corners, DSE dash with Autometer guages, seats out of a 98-02 camaro recovered in black leather with a 5pt harness coming through the headrest area on the seat. Car will also have hideaway headlights as it is a factory rally sport car...

Thanks for looking

Welcome and keep the pics coming. I hope you have been saving for a long time, because you have BIG plans for the car with BIG name parts in such a short time frame of 10 months. Speaking of you said finishing before the end of the year. Nonetheless, it sounds like a hell of a project. I'll be watching this one.

Here's a few more pics. I ordered my Boze "Tach" wheels last monday in 18x8 and 18x12 rear with brushed center/cleared and polished lip. Got an awesome deal on them through Newstalgia wheels which is just about 15min from me in chattanooga. Should be in around 4weeks, so I can get the car on the ground, and finish the DSE subframe connectors...

Nice work, you already came a long way with your progress. This sounds like a very nice build. I like the plate.

Thanks everyone, I just got done dropping the car off at a local shop to get some bodywork done on the car and get it all blocked and primed a couple more times and mocked up with the suspension, motor/trans in the car...
