This is my first Camaro build in 14 years. The last one was a glacier blue 69 warmed over 327/ muncie m20, posie 3:08 and I loved the performance from that combo. I have had a bunch of the first gens over the last 45 years and I am slowing down a bit. That said, I have spent the last decade building and helping others, build c10 Chevy pickups. I usually cut them to make short beds out of them and try to hang on to them, but it never works out. I just finished a "mother nature" patina build in July this year and dusted the cobwebs off the camaro.
I bought this car about 3 hours from home and parked it until I had the time to proceed. The metalwork on this car is top notch, and the fitment from the doors back is satisfactory enough but there will be a lot of aligning and massaging of the entire after market front cap.
First order of business is to get this thing roadworthy. I have to pick up a set of front subframe bushings next week and seam seal the cowl area below the windshield. This is a CC ermine white car and it is going back black. I spoke for a flat GM hood today to use it to align my gaps. I love z28 stripes on flat hoods, so I may keep it.
Interior is done with the exception of some rubber sealing around the doors. Black std. I have an org 67 ss350/295 with low miles that the oil pickup fell off of and starved the brgs. I shut it down and pulled it 20 years ago and plan is, to rebuild it, install it at a later date. 350 goes in for now, with a muncie m20 and a 3:08.
Otherwise it is a base model 6 cyl straight shift car with good bones. I hope to drive it out of the garage before Christmas. I like build
