"Despicable" 67' Camaro

[Depthrecordings]

I thought I would share my project here, as I am here daily getting info about how to build her. She is listed on the Team Camaro site as well. I figured since I am trying to make her an autocross/street car I would post her up here as well. I hope you enjoy the progress I am making on her.

This is when I was bringing her home from sitting in storage for almost 10 years:

Had to take almost 2 years off from working on her. Bought a house and found her a permanent home:

Saved up quite a bit of cash and splurged on some parts I have dreamt about for years:

New steering:

Powder coating and installation of the rear suspension to come this week. I should have the center section back from the builder this week also.

I'm pretty excited over here!

Very cool! Nice progress! It's always nice to finally get the parts you have wanted for a long time! Keep the pics coming!

Thanks! It's been a long time coming. Now if I could just stop the madness (buying all these parts) and get this girl on the street. haha

Get it to the street as soon as possible! Being part of the pro-jackstand club aint all that. LOL

Like a lot of people on here... I know the feeling of just wanting it to be done, haha. Good luck moving forward. It will all be worth it in the end.

Aren't you the President of that club? :poke:

[Depthrecordings]

That's the plan! I want to drive this thing worse than anything. I almost can't even watch Velocity anymore because I get all jealous of these projects that are done. lol

I know that feeling all to well! That and it keeps giving me ideas. lol

[Depthrecordings]

Exactly! That's my problem too, more ideas and better ways of doing stuff. I just wish I had some of the metal working tools those guys have. They make it look easy to make new panels and custom pieces.

Ran into a bit of a snag, and both of my grinders took a crap on me. The stupid bolts that go into the J nuts in the pockets for the leaf springs are just spinning. I will have to cut those off with a dremel. It's always something. LOL More playtime in the garage.
