That car could be my cars twin, Vince I am confused you said winter project, you live in cali dude, If you want a winter project come to wyo in january, I was in Jackson Hole the last few days and I could tell the people from the south they had there winter jackets on. It was about 63 at night I was one of the few with my shorts sandles and t shirt, What are the plans for the 69, engine, trans, Looks like a good start.

haaa haaaa yeah around here winter means everyone is in Reno/Tahoe skiing and don't feel like bringing their cars in for work so I like to load up on long term projects to keep me busy and paid till January. Believe it or not, It actually gets pretty cold around here too...it was 45* last winter 3 days in a row. It was a rough one.

Its pretty close but 87% of the metal is nice. More project funds to do modifications and not restoration.
Get that heater ready buddy!!

It's 45 right now, lol, need a shop rat, I am dam good at sweeping and blowing dust all over the shop, and walking around for several minutes at a time with a dazed look on my face trying to rememer where I put something!

[Vince@Meanstreets]

....I can not relate at all.....hey its time for more pictures!

Are you going to put that cool tow bar bracket back on the front?

[snappytravis]

Ya could you imagine it probably was towed by a winnebago
It looks like it came loose a few times subframe was a little ruff on the frame horns

So I figured I needed a name for my build project 69 Camaro. I decided Asphalt Cowboy would be a good one with the help of a few members of the forum. It seems that if you live in Wyoming everyone thinks your a Cowboy and own horses or cows or something that eats hay and sh*ts in the field. Well not this guy, the closest thing I have to horses is horsepower.. The real deal.. I am updating a few pictures on my build and will give a little detail on each picture. Thanks for looking and as always the feedback.


Hideaway headlight setup, with dse motors works great. Thanks for all that gave input before I ordered this. Grille fits good. Had to do a little shimming on the lights but nothing to bad.



Built hood latch. CR racing heat exchanger was to close and also installed quick click safety latches on the top of hood.




Motor and transmission out for the 20th time.. The red board with carpet on it is a gravel creeper,, That was before we had a shop with a concrete floor.



This picture I original had the ac lines running through the firewall. I ordered a bulkhead fitting and new ac lines with the aeroquip ez clip fittings. Probably was not necessary, but that's how car guys do stuff



I showed a few people this picture of the car on the rotissierie and the said that's how it was the last time they saw it 3 years ago! I had to explain I had it running and backed out of the shop. Then tore it apart again.. Some more grinding and welding. I will be either a good welder or grinder when I am done with this car..


I shot some dp90 on the frame and bottom of the car. Then used Eastwood ceramic chassis semi gloss black, Turned out pretty good. I thought about powder coating but did not want to be at the mercy of waiting on someone else and for touch up purposes.


Sprayed the frame this morning, Will let it dry a few days, then try out the Upol Raptor stuff,, Then some shiny paint on the outside,, for everyones advice, would be hard to build a car like this in the middle of Wy without Lateral-G!
