Default Project "Another" 69 Camaro
So i bought this car a month or so ago from Chad Fletcher & have been going back & forth with myself on how I want to do this car. After over building my previous 69 and not wanting to drive it because i was always afraid something was going to happen I've decided to keep this one fairly simple. It will be stock in appearance from the outside with the full DSE treatment underneath, bigger wheels/tires, and I'm going to run a LSX 427 based motor with a Tremec 5 speed. The interior will get some new Recaro's up front, DSE dash, roll/harness bar & new gauges, otherwise pretty much stock. Here are a few pictures of what I'm starting with....

It looks like a very nice car, and the end result should be awesome.

Sounds like your 2nd build will be just as nice as the first.

You stated, "Bigger wheels." What size?? And I think those DPE wheels will set it off just right. Right choice.

I'll be running an 18x12 rear and 18x10 front with BFG KDW's. Yeah, I can't wait to actually see the wheel
