New to 2nd Gen Camaros from Indiana
New to 2nd Gen Camaros
Ive Been lurking around this site and others like this one for a while and finally stumbled on a 71 Camaro it needs a lot a work, its a nun running car and need about every panel replaced to do it right, but its all there with a non matching 350, 12 bolt but im excited. I love the look of the 2nd Gen Camaros. I was searching around at different sheet metal suppliers like Tabco and AMD and would apprecated any pointers on the best sheet metal for Camaros. My plan is to make a really nice big block cruiser I have a 72 402 that Ive been collecting parts for, now I have something to put it in.
My plan is to start with the rear of the car and make my way to the front I would like to replace the bad panels if I can with good metal. I have a 402 (needs rebuilt) with a 350 tranny rebuilt ready to go in. I want to make a streetable cruiser that will lay rubber from light to light every now and again but I want it to be worthy of car shows as well pretty much done right. I know I'll have more in it then the car will be worth when Im done but I'll take my time so I may as well do it right....I wonder what a LS swap would be like.
Thanks in advance
