Hello

[Madmike]

I bought a 57 in 2018 and have been working on it since. Precious owner said it just needed some sanding and then paint . I replaced the floor, right quarter, trunk floor, engine, tranny, wiring, etc. I could complain but I am enjoying the work plus it gives me something to spend my money on.

I will call my 57 "someday" and hope to add "soon" soon. Just needs paint and windows and. 2nd pic is going to get a new headliner and windshield installed. Engine runs but it is kinda cold out and the upholstery guy is 20 miles away.

The other project in the shop is a 67 camaro. We (older brother) replaced the floor, trunk pan, quarters, etc. I think I am a broken record.
Thanks for letting me join.

Looks great. I've been saying "soon" for several years now. People quit asking me when it's going to be done, and those who do I tell them I don't know. Welcome to the site.

67 is not only the first year of Camaro but also the coolest, my 56 was sidelined dozens of times in my first 28 years of ownership. The first time to build my first 67 Camaro in HS. Still have the 67 I built in college.

Because it's the only one with a vent window...

But the best looking Camaro is the '69...that's why everyone wants one and prices have soared.

Welcome Mike. You (and your brother) seem like "do-ers" regarding your car builds (not just talkers with no action).
We encourage you here, and we'd like to help when you need it.
Post any questions, comments, concerns in the various sub forums here, and let's get another one on the road.
You're actually very near that point with what you've done so far.
Welcome.

[Madmike]

Thank you for the welcome!
I will start a project thread and I do have many questions.
As far as being do-ers, yes we are. Funny how the compromises are ok when you do the work.

Not hardly, they look bloated next to a 67.

I have to say 1969 , I had a 1967 & 1968 . I think 69 has much better Looks !

Thanks Sid

If that's the case, it's an attractive bloat. I'll take one.

Totally agree. 67 and 68 look about the same, but 69 is it's own unique body style. I love the fenderwells on a 69. They look like round gasser cutouts on a 67/68. Chevrolet designers did an awesome job designing the 69 Camaro and it's the most beautiful Camaro ever built imo. I've been wanting to buy another 69 Z/28 for years to replace the one I had years ago, but their prices have soared to $100K and keep going up.

Never got over the Harry High School look of every 69 Camaro in the parking lot. Air shocks all aired up with L60s or maybe N50s. I have had 275/60/15s on 15x8 Vette Rallys or 15x8.5 Torq thrust Ds with drag shocks now gas shocks for 40 some years. Funny how GM saw the error of their ways and went back to a larger rear wheel opening for the second gen Camaro in 70. My second gen Z28s came with F60-15s and I usually ran G-L60s on them, once again no air shocks needed. Currently running 255/60/15.

I ran F60-15 BFG TA's on 8" Rallyes on my '69 Z28 back in the '70's, and had no problems with the rears, but did have more 'scrubbing' in the wheelwells and wheel lip mouldings than I liked, so finally I removed them and re-installed the original 7" rallyes..
