Default 1969 Camaro LSX conversion project

Just thought I'd share the other project I'm working. I've owned this car since I was 18 and have been wanting to do something different with it. This should be done well before my Trans Am 25.3 chassis stock suspension 275 Drag Radial car is finished. Hope you enjoy and look forward to bringing it out to some cruises in So Cal.... just in time for summer.

69 Camaro's seem to be very popular but I'm a big fan of the 67, 68, 70 1/2, 71, and 72's as well. My Aunt has an original 1970 1/2 396 BBC w/ 4spd that my grandfather bought for her when she was 18. I've been trying to pry that car away from her for 10 years now and no luck.
