The 71 Split Bumper gets my vote. Not many of them have been given the treatment. It would be a lot fun to watch one come together here on the board....then again there all fun to watch.

I'd go 2 gen as well. I have absolutely no regrets with my 69, but an early 70's Camaro was a possibility for a moment. Definitely not many now and even less then.

Keep up the good work.

Just so everyone knows:
Josh builds turbo systems for 98-02 camaro and 04-06 gto. He has a fantastic rep on LS1tech. Josh built a 800rwhp camaro with a tc76 turbo...WITH STOCK EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.

andrewmp6: Why not a 73-87 c10 or a late model s10 or colorado.What about a g body there is a lot cars out there.
I have never been a fan of thet body style.

As for other cars I have looked at a few Dusters/Demons. The Pro Touring style is not real prelavent localy. I am looking to set a trend localy and open the shop up to future venues. Looking to expand my line of Fabrication work.

I am going to look at the 68 this weekend. It is local. Assuming my 02 Z28 sales as planned I will be picking something up for sure. Its a toss up righ now.

Josh, I may have to sell my 70 rs Camaro. It is a project car but it is also very complete and is in bare metal at this point. The current eng/trans are toast (really big paper wieghts). Like I said, I may have to sell it. I'll know for sure in the next week or two.

I agree. However the wife doesn't. She is all about the 68 Camaro. She doesnt like the 2nd Gens at all. She hated the 71 Split bumper I had before. I would really like to have her on board with this project. That way she doesnt freak out when she see 's the $$$$ I am gonna spend on it.

As a second gen owner and advocate, I'm going to say something here I never thought I'd say. Buy the 68 and keep your wife happy. It'd be cheaper than a divorce and losing your business..........
