Greetings from sunny SoCal, it is winter isn't it? Long time lurker, first time poster.I've love the first-gen Camaros since the day my neighbor brought home a brand new '68 Z/28. That chambered exhaust still echoes in my head. When I got my chance to build my own (after the kids got all growed up) I jumped on it. That was 9 yrs ago and I haven't "finished" yet. Thank God for a VERY understanding wife. She named the car my "other red head". It was on the cover of "Super Chevy" mag in July this year, one of the proudest days of my life.
You guys have one hekuva site here, I am enjoying every tid bit of news and tech info I read here. Lots of talent here, obvious by the pics. I'll post some pics of mine when I get the digital out and get some. This is a link to the "Super Chevy" article. http://superchevy.com/features/camaro/0507sc_redcamaro/

Man that's a gorgeous car. You guys are giving me an inferiority complex with all these amazing projects. I still have so long to go.

Hi Derel welcome aboard. That is a nice looking 69 you have there, I remember reading about your car and that I liked the side mirrors (monte SS/late 80s F-Body) that you chose.

Thats just not fair!

Not only is the car finished, he already has had it in a mag. You must start over.

LOL

Never "finished". :lol: I'm starting on my daughter and son-inlaws '68 Camaro RS/SS, so it's like starting it all over again. She's owned hers for about 9yrs, drove it to high school, so, it's time.
