Default California Camaro Checking In

Hi guys,

I'm new to Camaro's and finally picked up a 73 in June of this year. It's a solid 350/350 car and my plans are to build a pro-touring car to compete in autocross events.

The car is a standard Camaro with a mild 350 and turbo 350 trans with a B&M shift kit. So far, I've replaced the seats, carpet and door panels but haven't done anything under the hood just yet.

Initial plans are to replace the rear gears with 3.73 LSD, install a Hotchkis TVS suspension, upgrade the brakes with Baer components and rebuild or replace the engine.

The car gets alot of attention and everyone seems to like the Hugger Orange color. So far, it's been fun to drive.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
