My friend and I are rebuilding a 1969 Chevy Z28 Camaro. The car has been though a few stages in its lifetime, but its the greatest of all generations of Camaros. So i feel as if its worth all the time and money spent into it. Please feel free to leave your suggestion.

I owned a 69 SS myself a few years back - Black w/white stripes; the best Chevy Muscle Car ever! I was an Assistant Manager for a Super Shops store at the time... yeah, long time ago - like 1991, I was 18 when I bought it.

Mine had a '70 LT1 Vette engine, 11:1 Dome pistons, Dart Heads, Isky cam, Victor Jr. Intake, Holley 750 Dbl. Pump, Hooker Headers, Flowmasters, 350 Turbo Trans., Custom 10" (4000rpm stall) Torque Converter, 12" posi Rear-end on 4:11 gears, Fiberglass hood, Weld wheels (15x3.5 f. 15x8.5 r) ran it on M&H slicks daily and Trick racing fuel (mixed to 105 octane). Sub-frame connectors, 4-link, the works... full deluxe interior, no roll-cage.

I still regret selling that car to date. I don't regret all the fines I got though - like 12 point on my record! Took years to clear up.

Hope yours turn out beautifully, good luck - so far so good! Looks like it's going to be very fast.
