Hello from Texas - 69 Camaro

[MicroGiant]

Hi y'all,

Ive been working on my X-22 for over a year now. Its in the block sanding stage and should see some color soon. I found your sight through Team Camaro a few times now and really liked the discussions going on so I decided to sign up. :thumbsup:

My car was dubbed "Easy Money" by the previous owner in the 70's but its been the exact opposite for me :wow:. There are some pics at my website when I had it together for a trial assembly www.easymoney69.com. It has a stroked 489 BBC detuned to run pump gas, an Auotgear M-22, and I just changed the gears in the 12bolt posi from 4:56s to 3:73s so I can hit the streets more. For the rest I want it to look stock, I really appreciate the stock look. Not sure if the car is Lat-G material but I will be hanging out.

Y'all sure have some mighty fine rides here!

Looks like a nice project Tim. I am a big fan of stock body and trim too.

What part of TX are you in?

[MicroGiant]

I live in San Antonio. And I love it here! :cheers:

Looks good! Kind of nice to see a 69' Camaro that is not a 200k $ car... These big money cars depress me because I can't afford to build mine that way even though I would love to.

Nice ride ! :thumbsup:

I will be adding some 5 spoke wheels with drag radials next. I will post some pics when I get them mounted.

If I didn't read so fast I would have seen that you posted a link to more pictures.:goofy: Sorry I missed them the first time around. I did just look back through your link and you have a really nice car there. It looks like you had your work cut out for you when you started though. Nice job.:cheers:

Welcome from a temporary Texan.

Nice ride Tim. What brand of 5 spokes will you be running?

Update:

I had restored the car to near stock but I got the bug and the car has started to take a definate Lateral-G turn. I finished installing SPC tubular A-arms, QA1-Coilovers, Hotchkiss swaybar and Corvette C-5 disks in the front. The rear is next but it already has Calvert Caltracs. Oh and I went with the MB old school wheels I think they are really just Coys.

The pic may be too large to post here so here is a LINK (http://www.easymoney69.com/Images/Camaro_C5_02.jpg)to it.
