This is the car when I found at this dealer of old cars. The car was a mechanical wreck. Here you will see the complete restoration of the car and hopefully in the next few months it will be complete. I have been restoring my Camaro for about three years now, I have completed all the mechanicals, suspension,power steering,A/C The car looked great at first glance took it home to find stop signs in the floor boards, it was hidden really well. The rear mono spring was broke. So I decided I would replace every thing on the car. And i mean just about everything has been replaced thus far. My page is new and theirs allot to post, Not really sure how I should lay it out. Hopefully I can get it as nice as some of your pages.


327 original engine to be replaced by a 427 Small block From Bill Mitchell (World Products)
Suspension completely worn out. I completely replaced all components with new parts. than had the car realigned.
New Disk Brake Setup from Right Stuff Brakes, The kit came with everything to include Master cylinder, Calipers, Proportioning Valves, In the process I replaces all the brake lines and the rear wheel cylinders. It stops real well now.
Time to start on the body removed all the fenders and sub frame. I sanded all the sub frame and repainted all the component. Before and After




I installed all new Reproduction panels. I was surprised to find them to fit as good as they did. Thanks to Jim Benny @ Gateway Reproductions. Every Part i needed Jim Had them and was able to beat everyones prices by 10%. Jim saved me allot Of Cash.

Now it was time to fit the new fenders and all the front sheet metal. Again all the new panels are reproduction and I was amazed that the fit was generally good. Next it was time to disassemble the car again for primer and then the hard work will start, blocking and sanding.

I have been waiting two years to finally get to this point.


Finally got some color on the car. Paint is Sherwin Williams, Orange ICE. The black stripes is metallic sunrise. Now it's time to put it back together.





I installed the custom interior a few weeks back. I have to clean it up a little.


Installed my Kenwood. I made a custom housing and wrapped it with leather. The stereo system has DVD, Sirius radio, Navigation, Ipod 80 Gig, HD Radio, Speakers: Installed Infinity 6x9 in the Rear deck, in the Trunk I have 3 Infinity Subs and the Rocker panels 5" I put in Rockford Fosgate Amps. This thing really cranks out the music.
The car really has come along way since I started on this restoration. I will be posting the completed car as soon as I can find the time to get it all together. there is just so much to list. All in all it's really been allot of fun. A special Thanks to Team Camaro for all the help over the years. Also A Special Thanks To Chuck Novak @ Novak's Collision Center In St Peters Mo 63304 Who Let me Use His Shop to get the body work done. Letting me do allot of the body work saved me Allot Of $$$$$.$$
