Default a funny story

at the age of 16 my dad brought home a 69 camaro , never really liked the thing and was really into the 97/98 Mitsu eclipse GSX ... fastfoward to age 18 i had begun to understand what the car was and what nostalgia it carried. By age 21 i began hounding him to sell it to me and after 2 years of going back and forth he folded. Im now 23 and just came into possesion of a 69 Camaro today 3/24/08 . Now im not 100% as to which companies are better for performance (im familiar with most of the major names). SO in order for me to restore this camaro "tastefully" i hope you guys can help me so this car gets done right . TIA


btw my friend Chris speaks highly of this place so i thought i would join , and i hear many good things about Rob @ Overkillmotorsports so i will be visiting him too.

thanks , its actually grey primer but the angle of the sun throws it off. When it comes time to paint i want it black with red pearl and maybe 2 white stripes similiar to the Rally Sport Camaros ... didnt they have 2 white stripes?
