Hi Everyone-
Just wanted to introduce myself.
Proud new owner of a 67, although I do not yet have it in my possession but should in the next couple of weeks.
The car just finished a complete ground up restoration that included pretty much new everything. Every panel, floor, bumpers, interior, motor, suspension, everything. It's a 350 auto but I plan on changing it to a 5 speed.
Looking forward to reading up on what everyone is doing to their cars and learning as much as I can from everyone, and of course helping when I can.
I currently have two Corvettes, a 69 BB Vert 4 speed and a 2010 6 speed, so while I am certainly not new to cars, I am new to Chevy and Camaro both. Always been a Ford guy.

Welcome !!! You obviously have great taste when it comes to cars. Love the 67 with the white deluxe interior. Your 69 vette was very impressive. You will find this forum to be very usefull. Lots of nice people with good knowledge.

Ok - So now that I have the car in my possession I have changed the steering wheel, upgraded to an HEI Distributor, installed a high torque starter, changed out the power steering pump and fixed a couple of other little things. I have now ordered a 4 wheel disc brake kit and upgraded to power brakes, ordered the full Hostchkis TVS kit and a Keisler 5 speed auto to manual conversion. I also got the Dakota Digital Gauges (the analog kit, not the digital read out) Also a rack and pinion steering kit. All the parts should be here this Friday and I plan on doing everything at once since some of it would require double labor if I were to do in phases.
Anyone out there that has done any/all the upgrades that has any advice or things to look out for? Any info is helpful so thanks in advance for your input.
