I have been a long time reader of the forum but have never posted. There are a lot of awesome cars here and a lot of great knowledge being shared. I had a 1968 camaro convertible that my dad and i restored back when i was in highschool but unfortunately i sold it while in college. I am finally done with all my schooling and once again have the means for another project. I have been planning this build for quite a while now. I still have not bought any of my parts (including the vehicle) but I have started the hunt. I am planning building a daily driver (bad ass daily driver) that will 99% never see any type of track. But I still want to be able to get down when i feel like it. Here are my current plans as far as compenents and design concepts, all comments welcomed and tips/advice is appreciated. Headed to SEMA on monday to talk to some vendors.
Engine: LSA
Transmission: 6L90e (possible shrifter paddles)
Chassis/suspension/brakes: SpeedTech Track Time (front/rear) with RideTech Shockwave and Willwood brakes
Vintage Air
Dakota Digital VHX gauges
Other body/interior design plans:
DSE mini tub
shaved handles/locks
electronic windows/locks/trunk
HID projector lights
"phantom" grille
lower valence with driving lights (driving lights eliminated from stock position in grill)
custom interior or Marquez design package
custom console extending all the way between rear seats with use of horseshoe shifter
