Happy New Year Steve! The Camaro looks great! You'll have to come by and take me for a spin.... :burnout:

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

The car looks amazing on the ground! You really nailed the look in my opinion.

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Thanks guys!

Mike, are you making any headway on your Camaro yet?

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

I may be a bit biased but the Z/28 valve covers pull your motor together really well. I'm liking the stance too. Any pictures of it when it was Lemans Blue?

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

I'll have to scrounge around to find one. It was painted in the 90's, before I had a digital camera. It had a white vinyl top, and surprisingly it had no rust under it except for the lower backglass channel. I'll see what I can find.

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Headlights and grill in place.

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Always nice to start with a solid body. I haven't come across one that the lower backglass channel has been entirely rust free except on my Z. Is that a factory style endura bumper?

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Yep, that's an endurance bumper. :metal:

Your Camaro looks great Steve! Very inspiring :metal:

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

That looks awesome! Any chance you're going to hit the Power Tour with it this year?

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Very good chance I'll do the first couple of legs with it. Will be at the next Lone Star Good Guys in March too.

Darth is nearly ready to head back home after getting a lotta love from Kyle at Laid Back Recreations. This Camaro is like a family member to me, and Kyle treats it like it's his - no better place to take a project and know it's going to get done right.

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Very nice! :metal:

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Darth is super bad! Great job Kyle!

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Kyle sent me some pics today after he finished polishing. With the exception of the driver side fender, all this paint is 17 years old.

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Very nice! Do I spy a 70-73 Camaro behind your 69 in the before pic?

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Nope, that's Lola the 60 Biscayne. Good eye tho!,

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Your driver breather is crooked...

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Now I can see it isn't even the same tail light as those camaros. :LOL:

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

:lol:

Aside from that Mrs Lincoln, what did you think about the play?




It's amazing to me you even saw it.

Lots of good eyes around here!

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

beautiful Camaro Steve... But I still think you should have sold it to me.. :-)

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Were you able to make the Power Tour?

How is the FiTech unit working out?

Looks good

Dwight

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

I didn't make the Power Tour this, had too much going on, but I did take it to Good Guys in Ft Worth last March.

I really like the FiTech, but while it does ok self-learning there's are lot more to be had if you take some time to learn it. I'm a big fan of it so far.

Re: 69 Camaro Part Deaux
 

Very nice! Did you auto cross it? It looks like the other cars you parked with do it.
