Mike Reckley's 67 Camaro

The intention or purpose for the build is to create a first gen Camaro that is truly a daily driver. I�m interested in a car I can drive hard. I plan to drive it like a rental car. So, I bought a car with a fairly solid body and plan to upgrade it so that I don�t have the typical mechanical problems associated with a 60�s muscle car. I want to be able to jump in it and drive it without being worried that something could break or I could get a door ding or scratch. This is a car I plan to drive to work, the grocery store, and pick up the kids.

I still have many more decisions to be made on items like, brakes, wheels, fuel injection etc... However, here is what is in the works.
