1969 Camaro
I have owned this car for 16 years. After many well intended
attempts at restoring it myself I finally decided to let
Hoosier Hotrods &
Classics restify the car. We are making a pro-touring car that will
hopefully make it to the 2007 Power Tour. Plans for the car include
new crate motor, new Tremec 5 speed, new subframe, steering and suspension,
air conditioning, disc brakes, new wheels and tires and many other upgrades that will
make this car awesome to drive.
Once Ryan started working on the car, we found out that it was in worse
shape that I thought. We have put new fenders, new quarters, new
doors, partial floor pans, partial trunk pans, new hood and various other
body repairs.
UPDATE 05/22 The car is sitting in my garage.
Paint\bodywork is complete, car is mechanically sound. I'm working on
interior now. Should be ready for Power Tour 07!

This was taken in 1990 or 91. This was my daily driver for about 3 years while in college. |

This was taken around 2001. The car didn't look that bad from 15 ft. |

SBC 400 bored .030 with all of the goodies. This was a great motor. I wanted something a little less radical and a lot more reliable. Fuel injection was also on the want list. |

You can see the American Racing 200s wheels. I really liked the wheels, but I also really wanted PT ugrade with disc brakes. |

This was the first time that I saw the wheels on the car. I was so excited that I forgot the center cap. |

Pic taken at a local show. Notice how the 3" drop springs didn't do quite what I was expecting! |
