69 Z06 Camaro

[spode]

Hi everyone,
My name is Jeff and I live in So Cal. It's been 20 years or so sense my last car project. I did a replica of an 037 Rally car but took time off after. About 2 years ago I got the bug again and started a Porsche 914 project. It had a LS6 and the suspension from a 996 under it. While working on it one day John (aka Driveability) was casing my area and stopped to check it out. After stopping by a couple more times he made me an offer that I decided to accept. My mind was already drifting toward a Camaro, so as John was picking up the 914 I was dropping off my new project.
The plan is a full frame with late model C6 Z06 drive-line. I've had the car for a little over a year now so I will try and get caught up to where I am currently.
Byndbad914 is how I came across this site, as he had a 914 project here but there are so many cool builds and ideas that it has become a routine for me come here.
The 037




The 914



The Camaro came with extra quarter skins and I figured I would be able to just use those and save as much of the outer shell as possible. I knew I wasn't going to use much of the original car but I really underestimated how bad this car had been tore up. Here is the car when I brought it home. Comments and suggestions are always welcome, either on the thread or PM.







And my Orange Coolaide because I see some people here ride.

I like your style Jeff. That body isn't so bad, we've all seen worse. It's a perfect starting point for the style of build you're going for. Looks like fun, and so do those previous projects. That's a sweet bike too. Good luck with the project, I'm looking forward to future progress.

Welcome Jeff!

Variety is the spice of life.

Yep, have some orange (mixed with white) Koolaid up here too!

pretty good start and a nice rear foundation to hold up that transaxle.

welcome to the site.

btw give me a hollar when you get to the rear track and rear body width dilema.

Damn. Looks good.

Great job on the Camaro, but I really love the 914. Do you have a link to where I can see more pictures of that build?

Andrew,
I did not have one going when I started it but John has a build thread here.

Give him a nudge on his thread and I will text him for an update. I talked to him a couple weeks ago and he was getting ready to start it.
