Default My '69 is done and hit the road

Hey guys, pretty much finished the car late Wednesday night for it's first test drive. I was pretty nervous to say the least. Took it to a local cruise on Sunday and was quite overwhelmed with the postive remarks. I've also got 3 offers to buy it already, but I told them all: Not For Sale!

Well it's got minor issues like rattles and things not working 100% properly. (exhaust rattle, speedo not working properly etc) But all the drivetrain and suspension had no hicups. I haven't opened her up too much as all is still pretty new. The LS1 feels great, seems docile down low until it hits above 4K and the tires start to break loose pretty easily.

I still have to get my exhaust cermaic coated and a few little bugs fixed, but she's pretty much done...for now

Check my sig for pics, the first 10 are new.

wow..car looks great. Every LS1 Camaro I've been in doesnt come "alive" until 4K, so you must have a good one.

I had never been in an LS1 car period. But I am happy with the results so far.

Looks great and I love the color, but isn't the word "done" a no-no in this hobby. Just kiddin, it looks done to me.

Looks fantastic! Do you have a pic of the rear? I'd like to see how the body colored rear bumper looks from behind.

Default Nice

The car looks fantastic!!From the pics I can say that I would not change a thing on your car. Very nice work,you should be proud of what you have accomplished, and I am sure you will have loads of fun with your ride.Enjoy!
Just be sure to let us know when there is a spread of your ride on the news stand,because I am sure that it's only a matter of time.
