Default New from Minnesota

Hello to everyone, I'm Casey.

I've been over on Protouring for a while but I decided I like this place quite a bit more. It seems like there is a great group of guys on here and I really like the feel.

I'm from Minnesota and I'm building a '69 Camaro, I know there is a lot of hate towards them but I still love them and have always wanted one.

I am building this car with a ton of help from my dad and I couldn't do it without him. After my car is done I intend on helping him build his '66 Chevelle both on the financial side and mechanical.

I plan on starting a build thread sometime in the near future but for now I'll just share some photos...

Here is what I started with, a solid Georgia body.

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

Yes sir, that car is crazy cool. What's up with engine/tranny plans?
Welcome to the site! Solid Georgia body? No such thing. I'm kidding.

Thanks! I Love the race truck. My dad raced Dirt Oval cars for almost 20 years so anything race related I can appreciate. I'm hoping to add a little race flavor to my car.

Thanks, I'm dead set on a Naturally Aspirated Mast LS7 but I just haven't figured out if I want to leave it at 427 cubes or go bigger. I love torque...

The decision on the trans will be later, that one is a debate.

Haha, yeah truth be told the only original part of that body is the roof and the firewall...
