The primary goal of
this site is to provide extensive detail on the time, effort, costs, and
parts involved in building a 1969 Camaro g-machine/resto-mod. While there
are plenty of other, more sophisticated builds than this one, I think
this project should serve as a decent example of what a novice can do in
his own garage.
The
secondary goal for this site is to give back to the Chevrolet and Camaro communities for all the
great information they gave me during the life of the project via online
forums, websites, and friendly chats at the car shows. I doubt I
could ever thank them enough. I only hope that
current and potential '67-'69 Camaro owners along with performance parts
enthusiasts can use this site as another great source of information.
Please feel free to
leave comments or ask questions in the
Guestbook, or you can
contact me directly. Thanks for visiting!

High Performance chose my car to be on the cover of their October '09
edition and gave it a 5 page feature inside. Unbelievable.
It's an incredible honor for me and the car. I can't thank CHP and
photographer Wes Allison enough for giving my homebuilt Camaro that type
of coverage. I guess it proves that the little guy does get
noticed sometimes and that everybody's got a shot. 
I
turned to Detroit Speed & Engineering
for my hood hinges, wiper motor kit, RS electric headlamp door kit, steel dash
insert, billet pedals, and billet knobs. All the parts are top quality and
the included instructions were very helpful. They were also very helpful
over the phone and were nice enough to offer me a free dash vent for their steel
dash which I happily accepted. Also, when I chat with them at the car
shows, they're one of the few vendors that seem genuinely interested in chatting
and hearing about my project and not just about my next purchase. I highly
recommend them.
I
turned to Classic Industries for
hundreds of parts necessary to complete my project. Fortunately for me,
they are only located about 75 minutes away so I was able to make road trips and
pick up large batches of parts without having to pay shipping. You can see
all the parts, part numbers, etc, that I used in the
Project Details section of this site.
Classic Industries' sales staff was always very friendly and helpful, and their
customer service when it comes to things like returns and exchanges is
excellent. Plus. they frequently offer 20% discounts, so their prices are
very competitive. I highly recommend them.For all
