Default My diamond in the rough

Well it seems I reach up my rear end and found a horse shoe. This morning as I was sitting at work I decided to pull out my phone and surf the local Craigslist for random cars. Most of the time I'm just searching for a third gen that's not it bad shape.

Well today I found this 1969 camaro for sale.




As you can see it not in the best of shape but I immediately called the guy and set up a time to meet so I could check the car out.

The body was surprisingly straight. It of course has a fair amount of rust and the trunk is gone. The floor pans are not in that bad of shape. And there was only one small spot in the quarters.

Well I'm happy to say I now own my dream car.

One more never ending project.

Bad *** man nothing better than a 69. Whats your plans for her? Rotten truck can be replaced and if the floors are bad at least you can not feel bad cutting the car up to make it your own. Good luck I am jealous.

Well right now my plan is to put it into dry storage at my house. I'm currently ***** deep in my 73 camaro ls1 swap so all my money goes there. This was just to good of a deal to pass up.

Once I'm able to sink some money into it ill slowly start to replace body panels. The good thing is that I can mini tub it without having to cut up any original car.
