Default KYTP 1970 Camaro Build

I sold my 2002 Z28. Made a 17hr round trip to pick up this 1970 Camaro. Is needs a roof skin but other wise is 95% rust free.

The plan is to build a budget minded 2nd GEN PT Camaro.
-LS1/T56 Combo
-Mild Suspension Upgrades
-Wilwood Brakes
-CCW or like wheels and 18" tires
-Solid color paint

Pretty much a solid handling, good looking car.

Pics when I got it home:

It will be great to see another 2nd gen getting the treatment. I know they are not too popular yet, because I will post updates to my build thread and no one even looks at it, but they are great cars. I am sure the appreciation of them will go up soon.

Plus, I keep thinking, people are going to be tired of 69 Camaros soon, right?

The original plan was a 68 Camaro. I am just burnt out on them. The early 2nd Gens cars have always been my favorite.

I have looked into everything some a mild leaf rear setup and factory style front setup, to full tilt after market subframe fronts and 4 bar rears.

The plan is to keep the car with in a realistic budget for the average guy. I amy get into building some of these cars. I have the turbo thing nailed down at the shop. Looking at bring my best freind who is a body guy on board and looking into new venues.
