1972 camaro build-in progress-
 

I have been working on my 1972 camaro ss for a few years now. i dont talk or say much about it as it isnt 100% complete just yet. however this is a car that i could never let go of. I much drove it to high school and grew up with it. pretty much a part of the family long as ive had it. the memories, and freinds i made with this car make the attachment to it that much stronger. with that said here are a few pictures of it from the beginning to its current state.


-enjoy

during and after the paint process. i decided to wetsand the car with some 1200, 1500, 200, 2500 grit paper and do a 3 stage cut, buff and final polish for the final result with absolutely zero orange peel .

slowly putting it back together with what little time i have on the weekends. pretty soon the trim and final mouldings will arrive so i can start finalizing the exterior. as for drivetrain it currently has a 14.1 compression solid roller 406, unfortunately the motor dropped 2 sleeves on me warming it up in the morning. so now i have a dart little m 14.1 compression solid roller 422 being built for it. as for the transmission it is a 1997 lt1 t56 6 speed.

Oh man, I absolutely love that Camaro, you are doing an awesome build, I have a 71, I will be watching for your post updates.

Looks like its coming along fine!

thanks for the compliments. 2010 2ss/rs. your 71 is pretty nice looking in that signature. got any bigger pics of it? ill tell you this car is soo much fun to drive not to mention gets more attention then anything else i own.

What size tire and rim...looks to be a 17" with a 315 on it? I assumed you had to mini tub it. Very nice looking car!

Look what I found in my garage, I have had this pamphlets since the 1970's. I collected them from the dealership when I got into Camaros. From 69-73 & one 1978. :chevy:
