Default Hi all, First post & first project

My first car was a 69 camaro and I drove when I was in high school and a few years after. I sold that car in 99. I have wanted another one ever since, but the prices of 1st gen camaro skyrocketed. A few years ago I bought a 94 Camaro Z/28. I loved the way that car drove and handled, but did not like the looks. About a year ago I bought this car. This is the first car I have tried to build. My goal is for the 69 to outrun and out handle the 94.

its gonna be a hell of a ride when you start putting parts in.

btw i dont think it takes much for the 1st gens to be put on a level playing field with the lt1s.

not b/c of the motor but just because allot of the handling upgrades for the cars are the same.

Well you picked a great car to do this with! It's a fairly popular build so finding info, tips, and tricks should be plenty easy. Plus both the car and powerplant have huge quantities of aftermarket parts available. Should be a neat build. Do a write up on it as you go.
