that should be a sweet car when its done

[BirdOnNos]

yeah i hope so, i am setting it up with 4 wheel disk brakes, power steering box from a 1989 iroc camaro for the 2 1/2 turns to lock, tubular upper and lower control arms, all new suspension, and all new interior. i was looking to get the 2010 camaro but i will have about half the cost in this one and this one will be set up the way i want it. Shoot some ideas for the color i am still tossing that around.

i've loved the 67's better but i think the only differnce is the wing window but what ever
well color i like the sivler with black rally strips and some old school Crager coke bottle rims but thats just me
but what i will say it need a stock fin on the trunk they always seem like they are missing something when thats missing just my .02

[BirdOnNos]

yeah i got a new rear spoiler as i like them better also and a 4 inch steel cowl hood, your correct on the differences plus the 68 added side marker lights, as for the color its funny you say that cause thats same scheme is what me and pops were talking about today

[speedemon]

4" cowl? Don't ruin beautiful body lines with a heinous huge hood! Go with about a 2" smooth lookin' one like this:
