Default 69 RS/SS Build

Thought I would start a thread on my 69 Camaro build that started a couple of years back..... I get a lot of inspiration /ideas from the members. Here is a pic of the car as it was the day I purchased it. California RS/SS small block (originally) w/air. Lemans blue with black standard interior. Very clean car, and a great starting point for the build.... Plans are an LS motor with manual trans along with the usual upgrades. Let the journey begin!

Couple of more shots of the car as it was being taken apart. The previous owner had put in a 454 with a turbo 400 trans. He was a writer with one of the car magazines and did a write up on the motor "Budget build 454". He put the motor in the 69 and ran the hell out of it. The motor was strong and ran great, but I really had the itch to do an LS drivetrain.

Got started by cleaning up the firewall a bit and closing up some of the unneeded openings in the sheet metal. I will be welding in a DSE firewall panel to get things smoothed out.
