Its been awhile since I last posted but I have got the main hoop bent up and in the car now I just have to decide how I want to do the rest of the cage. Got all of the close outs made for the fenders and the hood latch area. Got the whole car primed ready to block out. Also I decided to go carbureted instead of fuel injected.
A carb?! That's blasphemy! lol just kidding. What made you decide to go that route?
The car is looking great. I dig the old school look with the orange paint and air cleaner base.
Keep up the good work!
I figured it would be a cheaper route and I would be able to get it done faster and also if I want to I can always go fuel injected later. Also I like the look of a carbed ls
It is a good look. There was a 69 Camaro here at Caffeine and Octane a few months back. He did the swap with I want to say the FAST self learning EFI. Used old school looking valve covers and a normal air cleaner. It looked right at home in the car. I think most people walked past it without realizing what it really was. I nearly kicked myself because I stood there for way too long looking at the headers and scratching my head thinking it couldn't be a big block, the heads aren't wide enough.

Its been a while since i posted on here been busy working on the car. Got the cage all fit and welded up also got the vintage air condenser and evaporator mounted. Also made closeouts for the inner fender wells. Got a pair of builder Recaros and made the headrests so they look like the short 70's. Also picked up a set of Ringbrothers hood hinges from there black Friday sale. Man do they make the hood open and close nicely
