Wow. Period. Enough said about my opinion of your Camaro. Now on to your garage, Wow. Period. Enough said about my opinion of your Garage. Both your Camaro and your garage are works of art (one of which goes REALLY fast). Being on my work computer out here in Afghanistan I can't open your website (but I will be able to later on my personal laptop), I can't wait to see your site. I don't know what more to say than Wow.

I am probably going to be able to answer this question when I visit your site, but what was the biggest issue transplanting the LS7? I am considering this route for my '67 Project.

Thanks.

Cheers,
George

Nice work XcYZ! I am in the process of doing the same engine swap and frame off restomod to my 69 RS/SS. Here's where I stand right now with the project...see pic. Body and frame are headed to media blast next week.

One of the nicest 69s I've seen. I've got mine at the AMD installation center right now cut apart getting blasted and sealed and getting all new panels. Not much left of the stock panels. The car needed more than I thought.

@Rayban -

I think you should start a build thread for this beast and keep us informed!

I can't argue that point, but fortunately I did absolutely everything myself other than the red. I even made a paint booth and sprayed the bottom of my car in my 2 car garage.

Thanks.

I made the cover of Camaro Performers a while ago.

And as long as I'm posting... Back in May I dropped the subframe out of the car and replaced it with a significantly better setup.

I used snowmobile dollies to roll the old subframe out and roll the new subframe back under the car.

I remember just being impressed with your garage makeover on Lat-G, never mind how nice the car is, and yes I totally enjoyed that issue of CP

OMFG!!!

AMAZING!!! and thats not a garage thats an operating room. Great job on the car, I so want to build a first gen Camaro. That is by far one of the nicest 69's I have ever seen.

Beautiful ride! What kind of sub-frame is that?

I am saving up the money to do the same thing on my 68. I haven't decided on subframe manufacturer yet, but I have ruled out the cheaper ones. That DSE looks sick (in a good way). I am also thinking of a blown 5.3 LS so I can put 327 emblems on the front fender.

WOW! Thats amazing!

Very nice, I am looking at doing the same thing with my 68, what transmission did you use?
