Yes! I did notice that! Very cool, congratulations!!

Btw, your '69 reminds me of a 1st gen version of my car so I guess it goes without saying that I love it.

Comparison (hope you don't mind me posting from your site):

Badd *** ride that would be my perfect dream car. 69 camaro with modern drivetrain, and suspension.

But you need to do one thing leave it how it is, no 10ss no roll cage, no 9 second runs@!! It’s perfect right now!

Either way perfect ride and congratulations.

Very nice, love the car!!!

I would like to get me a 69 RS but the main problem I have is no where to put it. I might have to do the new house mod with the 3 car garage first though...

BTW - About how much would you guess that you have in the car, including the car?

Bill, I'm sure I could have built it a little cheaper with nearly the same effect, but I really didn't cut any corners on this one so the value is pretty high. For example, I could have started with a fake SS instead of an authentic one, that probably would have saved me about $4K or so. But, I wanted a real SS not a clone.

I did some rough calculations the other day including all of the assembly/fab labor I have into the car, and it would easily cost someone over $50K to duplicate this car. You could save quite a bit if you can do the work yourself, like I did. Its definitely not a cheap hobby!
