Howdy from Cody WY :hello:
Just purchased a 69 Camaro about a week ago, and like my sig says, it will probably be my last car I ever build. Just getting old and running out of money :bang:
For my build I want to go the Pro Touring route. My goals are to be able to drive this car anywhere (since anywhere is a long way from here). Plans are for an LSx engine/auto, possibly Heidts Pro G front and rear. I want to utilize the factory A/C with appropriate mods to run the R134. Don't know if I will ever see an autocross track or not, but I'll keep my options open. It will mostly be a car I can reliably drive to events like Hot Rod Power Tour, or Hot August Nights, etc. Would like to be able to run mid 12's in the 1/4 mile, while still pulling down 20-25 MPG on the road.
Here are a few pics of what I started with, and where I am with it as of today.

HF blast pot works pretty well with aluminum oxide media
