Default Brand new to the forum, be gentle 😜

I am in the midst of restoring my 1st car, a 67 Camaro basic coupe that came with a straight 6. Back in the day I had a 350 stuffed in it that had a few minor mods. It went completely under water in 1999 as has deteriorated ever since. Just recently got it out of a body shop that I wish I hadn't chose. Also recently bought a junkyard 2004 lq4, bought a rhp low buck truck cam, a tbss intake and that's where I'm at with it. Trying to get this restoration done as cheaply as possible within reason.
Looking forward to learning lots (since I've been out of the hot rod game for many years) and maybe contributing in some small way as well.
