But right now I have been studying for a promotion a work and working alot of hours, working on these credit cards and saving for the wedding in November.

Just crazy, I am having with draws not ordering and not working on the car.

Matt,

Yes keep her happy and you will be happy. Hopefully she is into cars also. That helps. I have been married 27 years to my high school sweetheart, been together since 1974 and I trained her right out of high school about cars. Hell she knows alot about them now that we argue over it. Half the time she is right.

Good luck on the marriage and the car.

Who does the 69 belong to at your house?

Erica doesnt like the build process bc how much money that u are spending. She likes going to ocean city when they cruisers are there. Last year she said she wanted to build a 70 style camaro and wanted it pink. Now this year she wants a truck I was think 67-72 style and gotta be pink.

The 69 is my fathers.

Yes with drop spindles that car sits extremely too low. The transmission pan is about 1inch and a half from the ground. Yes that price did include everything. The only difference from the aston frames is the looks.

Alteast 2 inches. yes I put the the front end back on the car. I have to change one thing on the front and that is where the front core bolts to the frame. The crossmember will be welded to the frame. As for headers I will let u know when mine get here and take pics for ya.

Jun 19th, 08, 06:44 PM
They only way you can stretch a 67/68 is with the fiberglass stretched wheel wells from Harwood. Or have a good body man do his magic work with the metal.

The 7-s and 8-s look good but are hard to get low in the rear and the say the quarters are real hard to stretch....

To stretch the quarters correctly on a '67 or '68,they need to be done with a series of "pie cuts".....picture cutting a pie into slices.They need to be done that way because of the radius of the wheel opening in the quarter.

Here is a picture of my car when it had the standard front end on it and the outside of the grill is painted body color. I like it that way.

RS grills are definatly nice maybe down the road its just a little more out of pocket right now. The $1100 that I spent for this mess was to much already.Thanks for the pictures, I'm going to paint the perimeter orange.I got the first coat of primer on it today hope to do some blocking when I get home from work tomorow.

1969ProStreetCamaro
Jun 29th, 08, 08:19 PM

I also had the outer perimeter of my grille painted the body color. It adds more depth and makes the grille more noticeable in my opinion. I would paint it.:yes:

I'm here. I havent touched the car since I got the headers. And what do you know they dont fit. The number three tub on the passenger header slams into the fire wall and the drivers side fits but sit right up against the sterring rod. At this current time I am not really worried about anything bc I have been focusing on paying off two bills that I have right now. I have been workin so much these pass couple weeks. I also got a promotion too. I am a sgt. now. So I need to get training completed. So I will be on every now and then. Just taken my time.

Looking good ! I was looking at those mufflers for my 48 and everyone suggested this if you use them and drive them for more than two miles with a decent gear in it you will need to wear head phones driving the car. talked to a guy at a show drove his car 20 mintues there with this exaust and a BB similair to yours he said his ears where still ringing. lol cant wait to see her done keep the photos comming!

I know that u mean. We use to have the same exhaust on a bigger motor in the 69 and u couldnt talk on the phone at all. Sometimes u could talk to the other person in the car. But you couldnt on the throttle at all.

I should be ordering more parts today. The shifter and the Line lock brake.

My car has a CD player and all. I have 2 chamber flowmasters on my car but I ran the exhaust out the back and it is not to bad in the car. All the noise is behind the car. I used to have it dump before the rear end but everytime I pulled in somewhere it blew dust everywhere and it was loud by the tubs. It wa real bad when you had to park on the grass.
