Default "Project Aftermath" (69 Camaro SS), updated 12/14/06

I posted a couple months ago about this car and plans have changed drastically and the build has started. Car is a original X55 350/3 speed true "SS" car that we "cut up". Just makes your original more valueable!! lol Sorry guys I'm just not a original guy!

Parts are arriving daily by the truck loads it seems. Car is a high dollar build that is being built as the new shop car, but like everything will be for sale once done for the right amount. I am basically trying to one up myself on "Project Shop Beater" that I just sold. This car I plan to keep and enjoy as every 69 Camaro I have owned (6) have only been around a few months at most after being finished. So I am building this one exactly like I want! The body is done, and in primer. We actually purchased this body from Mike's Custom cars in Carolina. When I decided to build another car after finishing "shop beater' I was to busy in my shop with customers to get a car in and redo teh sheetmetal for myself. So I contacted Mike and he ahd this one, so we agreed on a price and got it home. If I ever have another project that requires a complete ground up build, I'll be buying another car from him! He is great to work with and does a damn good job! Car has every new panel available and some that aren't yet. Oh well enough of this crap lets get into the build.

Body:
-All new Sheetmetal, quarters, roof, rockers (inner and outer) floor pans, trunk pans, DSE tubs, tailpanel, firewall, dash, two panels, everything known to man
-Paint will be PPG 5873B Nissan Silver Mist, same color as "Shop Beater" but will be adding a Black Hockey stripe this time
-Shaved handles, and emblem holes
-tailpanel and front grille blacked out
-Stock 69 spoiler
-Chrome bumpers with rear bumper guards
-Marquez complete light package
-DSE headlights
-Full GM RS frontend with DSE conversion
-Prodigy Customs Tinted glass set
-all I can think of right now
