Rick Dorion's 69 vert

[Rick Dorion]

I always wanted a 69 camaro convertible and bought one 5 years ago. The condition was 'a driver' and it's a work in progress! Over the years, I've done all the mechanical work myself and had local talent fill-in where needed such as an Autogear M22, upgraded 12 bolt internals and new floors and 8 pt rollbar. I'm nearing the end with the motor and a full repaint waiting and have NOS quarters and tailpan in my barn!

Here's Kris' great rendering:

Sounds like a great project, and the rendering is kick-ass Rick!
I can't get your page to load, how about some build pics?

[Rick Dorion]

It's LeMans blue, original color but not original paint. I'll figure out some progress pics. Hmmm - lost my avatar and sig pic in the forum move too!

Looking real nice. There's nothing like a 69 RS 'vert....I like the look of the medium blue with that wheel style...

[Rick Dorion]

Kris did a great job. Those wheels are the Vintage Wheel Works V45's - 16x8. The stance should be close, but a bit higher. I'm almost done with the rear hotchkis install but the powder coating fever bit me.

Car looks awesome Rick!! Keep up the good work. Have any build up shots??

[Rick Dorion]

Thanks! I do have buildup shots but have to get my butt in gear and bring them over :mad:
