Default 69 NOMARO Project

While ago I ran across a rendition that Brian Stupski from PCK did of a 69 NOVA/69 CAMARO project and thought it was pretty down right cool. I know you NOVA guys are going to think what to a NOVA but it will be OK.

My goal was to find a nice car to start with and it had to have a vinyl top and not a bucket of bolts. I located this Yellow car in Oakland Hills CA and got it home to see how this would all work out. Here is the start.

Rendition by PCK.


Here is the nice car we are going to start with. Yellow with black guts. 350/350 AC car. I did have to throw some wheels on it as the yellow 14" with hub caps an beauty rings did not cut it for the pictures.



Now the teardown to see if this will all work. I ordered all the AMD 69 RS Camaro parts to build this.



Now the moment of truth,, Kenny said there is no way it will bolt up!



Fenders and core support all bolted right on and fitting pretty good. The grill will be the next challenge.



After 4 hours of work in the garage we have a complete RS front end on the project and the lights and everything are working and ready to drive to the Goodguys event in Pleasanton CA.




So the next step is to graft the 69 Camaro door skin to a 73 Nova Door so we do not have a wing window. We also will replace the Inner/Outer wheel house with the Camaro one and DSE Mini Tub and put the partial 69 Camaro Quarter.


This project will get an LT4 engine with FAST fuel Injection on a Carb intake so we can use the cowl air cleaner so it all looks stock. It will have updated suspension and Budnik ICE wheels. PPG is working on the paint color but it will be close to the new KIA Blue that is out right now with the White Pearl Yenko stripe with NOMARO on it.

Stay tune for more updated !!!

And Kenny it all bolted right on!!!!

A few of us saw the car at this weekend's GG in Pleasanton and rreally did not know what to think. It is definitely creating some buss on local discussions and forums so that is an interesting start

Promising rendering, a fastback Camaro woudl be a fun ride, but still debating, maybe a satin black paint on the rest of the body will make it easy on the eyes for those more visual like me

What are the plans with the rear section, taillights, etc?

Interested in seeing the next steps

That's freaking cool! I love that it's getting an LT4. I love LT engines. What intake are you planning to run with the LT4 heads?

We will be putting Camaro tail lights in and section the bumper to tuck it into the body better. It will all be primer soon so you can see it all in yellow. We did get the aluminum front fenders but not sure if we will keep them on this.

Trey, we will use the GM LT1 manifold and run the throttle body with the four injectors. I did a 69 Camaro Z-10 a few years ago and did a LT1 manifold with direct port 8 injectors with the cowl air cleaner and liked it as it looked stock under the hood.

Thanks for checking this out..

Ed, yep, honestly alum woudl be killer, but since you will likelly be chopping them steel is much easier to work on.

I give kudos on going forward with this. I normally like doing body mods on my cars but go with more subtle stuff

One suggestion is to get rid of the RS\SS light covers

some Pics Chris took (hope he does not mind me linking):
