I just figured I would start out here and say hi. I just got a 1969 Camaro from my dad which was his when he was a kid. The car has been sitting for 16 years in his backyard. I have been bugging him for sometime now to let me have it and he finally gave in. He gave me the title and the keys and the next day my friend and I removed it from the yard. We loaded up on the trailer and drove it back to the shop, i was so excited. The car itself needs a lot of work, floor pans, windshield, hood, the roof is dented, fenders, and a pass rear quarter skin. Then just this weekend I had my dad come over and we got her running. All we did was adjust the points and rigged up and antifrezze bottle of gas with a hose going into the carb and she started right up. The engine in the car is not orignal, its a 400 pontiac big block out of a 71 F-1 Firebird and a 400 trans. My dad swap this motor in back in the day. Anyway sorry for the book but i will post some pictures when i go over to work on the car next. Just figured I would share and say hi.
