The Start

Well updating this blog while deployed is proving to be a bit hard considering the internet is so slow it cant even load the website to post anything

thought id post two pics of the camaros in he shop, we cant wait till we get back to finally start working on these ladies, all the parts are inventoried and are just waiting for us to install them so hopefully this project goes without to much of a hitch.

the 67 needs a new trunk gutter welded in, te trunk pan to be finished up, the driver side door panel is missing a chunk and the firewall covels will be welded in first, then the whole front clip will be taken off for sand blasting and paint,

the 69 needs a smll patch of roof to be replaced and then a LOT of body work to get her looking nice and smoothe

let me introduce myself, My name is Vitaliy and I figured I would start keeping a record of our Camaro rebuilds. My buddy mike has had a 1969 Camaro for some 20 years now and I recently purchased a 1967 Camaro and this blog is meant to keep track of everything that we do to these vehicles

ok so, a little about Mike and I, were both E5s in the navy and are in the aviation structural mechanic field. Both of us love classic cars and mike is an actual mechanic while Im more of an enthusiast, he has a lot more experience with this stuff then i do so im kinda in it for the ride.

A bit about the 67 Camaro, I found her on Craigslist about a month ago and the guy was asking $5000.00 for her in fairly much beat up shape, she was missing the whole front clip and was taken apart; the good thing was that the whole body was straight and most of the interior and rear was still there. After talking to the guy we talked him down to $3500.00 and got it hauled away that same day. The car also came with all matching numbers including a inline 6 motor that was out of it, and even better news is that there wqas a fresh fully rebuild 0 mile Chevy 350 mounted on it.

moving on to the 69. Mike has hasn’t this car since like 1990 and has worked on it many times, he wrecked it on a test run about two years ago and now its time to rebuild as soon as we get off this deployment. The 69 is an SS with a 406, t350 and 383 gears, cant wait to see both of these girls out on the road.

There’s a lot that has happened along the lines of these vehicles and ill post a few more things in sequential order until i am caught up on where the project currently stands
