Default New shop car and its not a Camaro!
Well after 19 years I do not currently own a first gen Camaro. I might start having withdrawls at some point, but right now perfectly happy with it. About a month ago I made a deal on my 69 Camaro convertible. We made a few changes for the new owner and last week it was delivered.



On the same day, I picked up this jewel.....



The good part about this is it does not have fresh paint so no worries about rock chips and bugs, and alrady has a bunch of mods done to it that make it fun to drive, but anyone that knows me well will testify I will eventually rip this car apart and start over, not matter how nice it is.

Qick run down on it as follows:

LS1/4l60e from 2001 Camaro
Heidts front clip
current performance wiring
vintage air gen iv
slight minitub not DSE
2 link ladder bar style suspension
18x7 and 18x9.5 Coys on BFG rubber.

Already getting a few parts in for the initial changes. Some major changes will come to the car this winter and will update as we progress. Goal for now is to keep it on the streets and not turn it into a work bench at the shop.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

The plan is full DSE suspension this winter. Ride is suprisingly nice. If I did not know any better I would probably never touch it.
