I figured I should make this clear and show what stage I'm at. I think its been two years ago now that I bought a camaro with a clean title for reaalllll cheap(with lots of rust). Its purely a skeleton, needing most sheetmetal replaced(roof, quarters, fenders, rockers, trunk, etc...) leaving me a blank slate. I haven't started actual work on the car yet, mostly planning and putting the stock frame rails into solidworks. I intend to build the car all in one shot, so unless something doesn't go to plan there won't be phases. In theory, a thread will be started soon.

I followed your thread, my car isn't too far off from that. No engine, everything under the car is useless to me except the subframe, and half the body needs to be replaced. There's a reason why family thinks I'm crazy for doing this project.

Depending on your plan, starting with a rough car is the way to go if you plan on doing something radical.

Looking forward to your build thread
