Default Hi from Ojai- '69 Camaro convertible

Sean here from Ojai, CA.

First off I am blown away by the craftsmanship on this site. My car is very simple compared to most the builds here.
I picked up the shell of the car from a body shop who had painted it and the customer did not have the money to pay. it is the 1st time ever that I have not had to deal with body and paint. I normally buy the rust bucket and spend way too much time and money fixing it.
The car has ssbc 4 wheels disc brakes, keisler tko 5 speed, new 12 bolt posi 3:73s and a roller 350 built to run a supercharger (not installed yet). I bought the car a year a go with most the parts still in boxes. I fired it up for the first time on Jan 1st. I can't wait to rip around in it.

Very nice. Looks good. The flat hockey stripe is a nice touch.

Welcome. You know Jeff Young? He lives there and has my old red 68 camaro. Nice guy, good mechanic. Just an FYI.

You are right, very talented people around here.

Fixed it ..plus added in a few extra letters for free.

Very cool build you've got going there, that is well underway obviously.
