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?

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.

He might...but Dave...yours is the best year for a Pro Street...'69:yes::beers: Pro-Street69Camaro468 Jun 19th, 08, 06:38 PM 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.... prostreet69camaro 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. 1969ProStreetCamaro Jun 19th, 08, 06:45 PM 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. Blade Jun 19th, 08, 08:34 PM Matt,you keep going you will be on the road before me.You know Jeff will even exchange the spindles when your ready.... I know I waiting to see if these stock spindles work. Pro-Street69Camaro468 Jun 28th, 08, 05:37 AM Heres some of my progress no pictures though.I got the new goodmark fender roughed in marker light closed in and the body work done.Its off the car and ready to be cut in the fit is actually better than the G M fender I had on it.Total so far $1100 with no labor but thats free anyway,hope to go to paint buy the weekend of the 4 th.I'm making a little change on the grill this time I'm going to paint the outer perimeter orange instead of the hole thing being black. Give me some opinions on this what you think,my wife seems to think it looked good the way it was. Matt sorry to jump your post, just thought this was the place for it.How you making out. prostreet69camaro Jun 28th, 08, 02:09 PM Dave, I think it is time to put a RS hidden headlight / grill on the car. 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. Standard Grill http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/prostreet69camaro/69Camaro2.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/prostreet69camaro/DSC06108.jpg RS Grill http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/prostreet69camaro/DSC09516.jpg Pro-Street69Camaro468 Jun 29th, 08, 07:26 PM 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 Dave, 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: John68rs Jun 29th, 08, 09:11 PM On a 69 the grill perimeter always looks WAY better painted in my opinion. :) Pro-Street69Camaro468 Jun 30th, 08, 05:49 PM Thanks for the input I'm going to paint it for sure....I got the first coat of primer blocked and the body work looks good,second coat of primer on tonight hope to be cutting in on wednesday and painting this weekend.... prostreet69camaro Jun 30th, 08, 09:52 PM Cool, Its coming back together. loneman Jul 2nd, 08, 05:02 PM I was looking thru this post and earlier you said you had a MSD box for the rev control.

Why don't you wire up the car yourself? There are a lot of great wiring kits out there. I did mine my self using a Painless Wiring harness. From what I hear there other harnesses from other companies that are even better. The new kits make it pretty easy. It takes some time, but it is not really hard to do. I had my car running in a weekend and the whole harness done in about a week working on and off a few hours at a time. My Painless kit had all the circiuts you'd need for a ProStreet car including things like electric fuel pump, fans, ignition, gauges, one wire alternator, console switches, etc. Even power windows and locks if you go that route. My car has been wired for about 2 years and I haven't has a single issue with the wiring or the harness. Like I said, wiring a car is really not that hard with the new options out there. .

Sorry for the trouble, just want to make sure I order the right thing the first time. Not trying to hijack this thread.....but to correctly determine key measurements such as rear end width you need to determine one key element first.......your wheel & tire width(height)/backspacing. This will ultimately define such things as rear frame width,ladder bar length/location(or 4 link location). What works on one persons car might not work as intended on your car/or perhaps not at all. Start with the wheel and tire size you intend to use and build from there. If you use a 31" tall tire you shouldn't have to have the wheel openings stretched. Again...not tryin' to interfere.....just tryin' to save you some potential headaches. :beers: David F. Blade Sep 30th, 09, 07:11 PM check ur pm!

I didn't know you went ladder bar this is the first i have seen the back half.... Dave, Yes I had the car a ladder bar set all along. I am changing over the center section to a mini spool. I had intentions on putting in the stock spindles i didnt get a chance to pick them up on friday morning. I am planning on maybe going back up in two weeks time. I am hoping that the addition roll cage bars are added and the rear is back together. Matt prostreet69camaro Nov 1st, 09, 11:27 AM Is this going to be a street car or race car? Have fun with a spool and 4500 rpm convertor on the street. That convertor will never lock up and the trans will run hot on the street. I'm just saying. Been there ,,done that... Now if it is a race car no problem. Blade Nov 1st, 09, 07:25 PM Is this going to be a street car or race car? Have fun with a spool and 4500 rpm convertor on the street.
