Default Project "PullingOut" 69 Camaro

Where to start…This is my first true build. I bought the car sight unseen from Ebay. The owner did NOT know his wife posted it for sale with a phone number to call and after 30 minutes of convincing him he needed to sell it, it was mine. I bought it within 30 minutes of it being posted for sale with no buy it now. The car was almost rust free except for a small marble size hole in the rear window channel. It was an original vinyl top car as well. All original panels except for the front sheet metal and a small patch panel on the left quarter panel that was done years ago. The car was being worked on by a shop 1,000 miles away from home and NOT to my standards. I pulled my car out of the shop just before any real damage/work could be done hence the project name “Pulling Out.” Pulling Out is always the best option in life if you have any doubts. When it was time to pick the shop to take over my build there was no doubt in my mind, I was taking it to American Muscle Restoration in Cleveland,TN. John is very meticulous about his cars and takes the same care with his customers cars. John has been on budget throughout the process and on time as well. I could talk on and on about the work they do but I will let the pictures speak for themselves…
Here is a parts list
AMD Fenders, hood, header panel
Built LS2 from LME
DSE Mini-tubs and DSE 4-Link set-up

John wasted NO time getting to work on the car, after the game plan was established. No crazy body mods just side marker delete and a little massaging here and there. The car was "put together" by the previous shop and it was John and I's decision to take it apart and make sure nothing was overlooked.
Removing the primer placed by the previous owner

Speaker getting deleted

Once everything was "cleaned up" bodywork began. No Paint Jail

More Work Completed



The tailpan had to be cut out and pulled back 1/4" to make it more smooth/correct and not just filled in with a bunch of filler
