HaHa... You guys are all just too quick for an old man like me! Yup, I bought the Camaro in the dead of winter here. Putting the floor in, and have decided to do both rear quarters, outer wheelhouses, and the rear tail panel. Will likely take a year or more to get the body sound. But, my first car was a '70 Camaro, and I've always loved them, plus I'm not getting any younger so what the heck, yes I've started building one.

I won't replace my truck, which I really love driving and showing. But, this way I'll have each so whatever mood I'm in, I'll have a vehicle for it. One more to show the new dash top, and then I'll leave this forum back to the trucks!!!

Final question? For the Camaro, LeMans Blue (GM 71) or Camaro Gold (GM 53). I can't decide...

Thanks!! Not just to you Bugz... But to everyone who has commented. Again, couldn't have done it without this site. And everyone has been helpful and kind.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a great summer!

Lemans Blue is a great color, ...however it's so common. I'd say go for the gold ...it's nostalgic

Possible solution; Camaro Gold (GM 53) with white "Z28" stripes, it'll make a great looking pair, and homage to the Gold/white of the 50th Anniversary Truck coming a couple years before the 2nd Gen Camaro.

My first car was a 69 Camaro, then sold it and bought 70, Big block, TH400, 12-Bolt 3.73 car, would annihilate a set of rear tires in a afternoon! And was a thirsty beast! Biggest laugh was seeing my mother driving away from the house in it, chirping 2nd at every shift! When she got back from the store, was telling me all the people waving, yelling "wanna race?" and "Nice Car!" at her. Good times.... back in 1980

z28.com is another site, great group of guys, low on members at the moment, and no "cliques", no bs, just help. I'm MikeyZ28SS over there.

Good luck on the Camaro Resto-mod, I'm sure it'll be amazing

Mike: I was actually thinking gold/black stripes. With the one-piece rear spoiler and a complete RS nose. Yes, correct with round parking/turn signals. Black interior with the deluxe black/white material for a '73 type LT. No mini tubs, just 8 or 10 inch wheels, lowered just a little. For motivation, ZZ6 crate motor, 700R4; and Holly Sniper TBI. ??? Kind of fits my pattern eh?

Darrell,
Wow that does sound sweet! IRS in the back to improve the ride quality / handling?
My 70 had the split front bumpers and 3-pc rear spoiler, never checked to see if it was any special model back then, just enjoyed it for what it was

Sounds like you've got a well laid out plan, an awesome plan!

Darn, forgot to say Incredible Truck you have there!
