It looks like you're really into doing it from the ground up, and that you've made some great progress.

This place sure is dead on Sunday.
Anyway, I've got another question: How much trouble and approx. cost would it be to change from non-power brakes to power brakes? Is this a fairly simple transformation?

The job if fairly simple, from what I gather. I have a 69 with four wheel drums, I am switching to front disks. The kit was somewhere in the 700 - 1000 dollar range (don't remember exactly) It comes with everything needed. Try www.rickscamaro.com Its where Igot mine.

RE: Newb Questions
oops, I missread your question. I was assuming you only had drums as well. The powers booster is available as from them too. You will need to hook it up to the back of the carb.

Thats I very well done car, no power brakes is the pits. Its price is reasonable and what I would expect or a clone. It has some suspention problems, look at the rear photo, the exhaust pipes are at different distances from the grouns and the tires are more visible on the pass side. I should be able to see the powe steering pump, at least the lid on the drivers side infront of the head. Are these the only pictures? I would jump on it, just me though.

Just a quick update, even if most won't really care:
I've called to make 2 offers on 69's, and both were already sold.[&o] The last guy I spoke with even told me that he had garaged the car and never driven it in the rain. He also never touched a ting on it since he'd owned it over the past 4yrs...and he made 10K on it.
The search continues..............
