Thanks Wayne,

The car is original 6 cylinder car so I don't feel bad at all cutting it up. The wife wants me to sell my 67 before I get to work on it.

Butttt the 13' bear brakes, DSE 2"dropped springs, Cal tracs and QA-1 shocks are already sitting in the garage:unibrow:

More to come once the 67 sells. bunch more....

I got my price this morning on my orange one so the parts for the new project will be coming soon.. Don't know how I feel about selling it. Im sure as soon as I start seeing new parts at my door I'll get excited about the new project..

Parts already acquired, 2'' dropped Hotchkis leaf springs, cal tracs, Qa1 shocks, Hotchkis rear sway bar system, 13 in bear brakes,

I've been through Mark Stielow pro tour book a few different times now.. Lots of great stuff, But a lot of work ahead of me...

All my DSE Suspension parts came today, Friday I pick up a rotisserie for the car, I'm still waiting on Brakes to show up and the Mosier rear end. The Boze lateral G wheels should be here in 3 weeks. Tear down starts on Saturday:yes:

My plan is to tear front clip off and get subframe blasted? I might sand it.
Work on install of front coil over kit. While it's getting powder coated,

I will get car on rotisserie and start mini tub.

It just so happens that a mechanic friend is slow at his shop so I might get some help.

Wish me luck,I went back to Doc today and the sent me in for xrays again on my ribs. Dam things are still sore

Now thats funny Mario! :yes:

Kirk - glad the roto worked out for you. Even tho I sent plans, it'd prob cost you 75% in materials to build vs buy one second hand. And take care of those ribs Bro! Healing is like velcro and once you pull em apart again (so easy, like reaching for a glass in the cabinet) it's two steps back...:thumbsup:

Thanks Ron, I ended up stopping by a friends shop and he had a rotisserie there that the owner sold me for $300.00. its made for a 57 Cadilac so I might have to modify it a bit to work but for the price I couldnt pass it up.:cheers:

I like the green also:thumbsup:

It wasn't to bad, when you put the trim rings on for shocks. i cut mine down to about a 1/4'' so I can lower the car further,

I have been hanging over at Ls1 Tech trying to find a deal on T56, An motor. I came to realize that the LS7 was going to be too much to spend to get the car back on the road, I ended up buying a LS1 out of a 1998 corvete. Complete motor and driver excesories. So the motor is at builders right now. Im putting Ls6 heads that are being ported, a 231 239@112+4 615-625 comp cams, and were checking piston to valve clerence tonight, I might mill the heads to bump up compresion to 11-1/2-1. It should be 490ish hp.

Its not the HP I want,But it will get my car back on the road and will be set up for the future big Hp motor when $$ permits...

I ordered a Vapor works tank and T56 magnum today, Everything is pretty much ready for motor,tranny and tank to get it running....

I cant wait to flog the crap out of this car..... Do you no what its like to try and flog the sh33t out of a Crew cab F-350 power stroke..4x4

I havent smelled tire smoke or the rumble of a BBC in 10mnths...

I see a lot of people remove the rear trim piece around the louvers on a 69 Camaro.

I going to paint my 69 the stock green with flat black hockey stripes, Should I remove the trim piece or(powder coat)

My plan is to powder coat all the trim around front and rear windows, and bumpers
