    New Member From Grand Ledge/Eagle

    Hey Guys! I actually stumbled across the forum on Google, and couldn't imagine a forum that fit me better than this! Been a Camaro fan ever since I became fascinated with cars (which was about 12 years old) Now I am 22 and been working on a 69 Camaro Resto-mod with a LS1 and t56 (so far been about 6 slow years of work between spending money on college and car parts haha). Actually just pulled the engine and trans out of a donor car this last weekend. Not much to look at now, but it'll get there. Hope to make some friends along the way now that i found this site, and hope to help others and be able to ask others questions. Thanks!

            Thanks for the offer! I may take you up on that down the road and pick your brain for some insight. And as for paint, I think it is going to be hugger orange with the double white stripes. That is what the car was originally and there is something about that color scheme that catches my eye.

                            welcome to the site, nice build i like the color scheme too. is that so whoever drives up will think the car looks like a orange cream sickle and think it will be a sweet victory for them but then they will have a bittersweet loss? not funny, ok ill stop
