UPDATED AS OF AUGUST 10th 2006

This has become a father/son project I have always dreamed about. My dad used to have a real 1970 Camaro SS 396/350hp big block car. Pictures to prove it, and to this day he still has the trim tag from the car! We are about to take part in a huge rebuild for our very first project car together. And many more to come. I had a vision in my mind to try and bring back my Dad's golden years of pure american muscle, the cruising era that every teen loved and cherished back then. I have always wanted to know what it would feel like to cruise around in an old muscle car. Now I can with my new addition!

I bought this 1970 Camaro mid April from an old lady in town, she was cleaning out her garage and I just happen to see it outside her garage. She picked it up sitting on the side of the highway with a blown engine, and has had it since the early 80's. Someone in her family owned a junkyard at the time and she put a 305 SB engine in it from a 72 Chevelle, '73 Camaro interior, '73 Camaro front end, and various other pieces. She said it used to be driven all the time by her son on special occasions. But it has been sitting in her garage other than that. It is a VERY solid car. Frame rails are perfect. Some small rust holes in the rear panel's. Other than those few defects the car is a perfect candidate for our restoration project. I picked the car up for only $4,000. Some people seem to think it was a rather steep price. But I know its worth my money and time.

Well I've had the car for about 4.5 months now. First I put a used set of Cragar SS wheels on it. My dad and I took the time to swap out the '72 Chevelle 305 to a '72 Corvette 350 LT1 Motor. It has a Edelbrock Performer II intake, with a holley 650 cfm 4-Barrel carb. New valve covers, New heater core, New front chin spoiler, SS emblems, New Hooker headers with 3" collectors, Full custom 3" exhaust system with 40 series Flowmaster's and chrome tips. Yet to install the A/C unit. We also patched a few dents in the car with fiberglass filler. Right now, we are getting ready to put the patch panels in the rear quarters. After that, a full overlook of the car, minor tweaks, bondo, sand, primer, and paint!
