Thanks Guys, I also have a 1967 Camaro that a guy sold to me to pay off some work I did for him.

Nuthing much to it, has a 468/454 Ls6 and a powerglide. Car is in pretty poor shape after he cut the quarters, wheelwells and trunk floor out and put the new quarters on wrong. The good thing is that it has a Ls6 heads on it for my 1970 Chevelle that I have waiting on me to do a full frame off restore on it.

Throttle - Welcome to CamaroForums! This is an awesome project. You don't see too many 72's. Cool fire-up video! When do you think it will be moving under its own power?

Waiting on the transmission then once I have that in I need to do some measurements and get a driveshaft built. I'm shooting for the end of the month for it to move from my garage to my paintbooth.
