well i plan on startin on a 1969 camaro ss soon and was wondering where the best place to get parts was

i wont be fully restoring it cause im only 17 and i have plenty of time to get it done asi age lol

my cousin is going to fix it up for me(hes a huge chevy head and he wont drive nothin but chevy)and since i've only driven a 4 cyl. im gonna go with a 350 bored out to a 383(i think thats the correct term) but after i get used to it i'd really like to get a big block for it

my goal is to get it lookin crisp and clean like this camaro here

the 69 camaro is my dream car and if it turned out like that i think it would really boost my self esteem lol

all help and tips are welcome

thanks

 

well I got all my stuff from NPD. It had the best over all quality in consistency. Everything that came in fit great and we never had any problems with back orders or anything. I did alot of checking thru the dif dealers out there and found that NPD beat them all.

There are alot of places to get parts. I got some stuff from ebay. But found that it didnt save me much money in the long run so we went with mostly all new stuff from NPD.

Good luck on your search

 

Small block 383 is a stroker motor. Its a 350 with a 400 crank. Got any pics on what you are starting with?

 

thanks orocker now when i get mine it might come out half as good as yours

the prices in the catalog are very reasonable IMO

gorn,

im actually still in search for a 69 camaro ss

im lookin to get one that needssome of work cause i want it to be special and mostly cause my car budget is low

but after i get it i can buy a piece with every paycheck and eventually ill have a nice lookin camaro(i hope lol)

 

Look on craigs list. Maybe even in your area. When I was looking for my last dd I found several project cars on there for less than 500$. I just dont have anywhere to store another car or I would have jumped on what I found.

Another thing, do you have any swap meets in your area? Look online for car shows. Alot of times you will find people selling old cars.

 

yeah i've been keepin an eye on craigslist in ohio since thats where my carwill be getting worked on

if i could find one for $500 i would be a happy camper for sure
