I purchased a 1969 Camaro two years ago with my father with the plans to rebuild it. The car pretty much needs everything. It does have a full cage in it, 16 point? And it is also fully tubbed. I also had the subframe powdercoated as well as the A-Arms. Besides that there isnt really much. It definitely needs quarters, doors, floor pans, trunk lid, and rear bumper. I have no front end at all besides what i am guessing are skins for fenders and a fiberglass cowl hood. I am 19 and in college so it is definetly a project that will take time and i will be building it as i get money. Last year my dad passed away from cancer so i am pretty determined to finish the car for him. I will try to get pictures of what i have but everything i listed is about it. I would like some direction to go with it as to what to do first to get rolling. I am pretty sure there is no vinplate as i don't know where it went and i also cannot find the title. I was planning on picking up two full quarters and two complete doors to get started and try to get all the body work done first but i would like some opinions as i have no idea where to start. The car also does roll as its on some crap wheels. And it also has a fuel cell in it. Any help would be appreciated.

The only plans i really have for the car are..

-Prostreet
-Big Block - Was looking into crate motors? Pros/Cons?
-Turbo 400 - Already have one
-Low
-Trans brake + Line Lock
-RS Front End
-No AC/Heat
-No Power Steering
-Semi Reliable/Drivable



Thanks for reading.

 

Here's a link to my project thread. We have been doing a full restoration to a 69 camaro. I found a really awesome body guy that did all the body work. He started in the rear end and worked his way to the front. The floors we good but the whole rear end got cut away and new metal welded on. I have posted tons of pics in the thread so go check it out and I hope it gives you some good ideas. Good luck.

First thing to do if you want to drive it on the street is get the vin tag/title thing figured out. Here in PA No vin tage means no registration or inspection.(part of the inspection is to verify the vin tag)No title means No registration. If you had a Vin tag and you where a shop you could get a lien on the car and geta title that way but with both missing its a parts car or a tralier it to the track race car..

 

I know my dad had the title somewhere but i can not find it. His name was not on the title, the guy that we had bought it from was on it. Is there anyway the guy that we bought it from could apply for a title since it was in his name or would he need the vinplate as well. Thanks for the replies i appreciate the help.

 

Your thread is awesome. I'm going to try and follow it as much as i can. Wish i had your budge though lol.
