new to af

howdy
my son and i are just starting a total redo of his 75 camaro.
pretty much everything is bad, well, not too bad.
350 runs good, recently rebuilt, i guess ??
floors are bad, and i think the rear frame might be going bad.
any tips on where to get parts, ect. would be greatly appreciated.
my son is only 15, he wants his car done before he graduates from high school

glad to be here

Hey welcome to AF! Sounds like the Maro will be done before he's out, he's only in 10th or so right? still got 2 years.

Welcome, and alas, some 2nd gen. input. Definately sounds like a Camaro, darn body by fisher.

Probably have to wait for Earlsfat to get on, bet he'll help him out because he's the only other guy with a 2nd gen I think..

welcome to af :wave: year one is good for body parts, im pretty sure they have body parts for a 75, for subframes i have a company in mind but i cant remember what it is, il llet ou know if i remember.

Welcome to AF, dawg! We'll help you the best way we can, like Rs92 said, earl can help you out alot, his 2nd gen is bad ass indeed!

Oh, paddock parts (www.paddockparts.com) you can order a free catalog, covers all generations.

Alright I looked around and came out with these sites.

http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/fbshopmain2.asp?cat=8

The first one has alot of parts on there even floors.
Second is also good cause its yearone!
Third site is for all generations.

Nice, a fellow 2nd gen!

They pretty much covered all the places: The Paddock and Year One have the biggest catalogs, although I've heard some of the parts aren't always available... never happened to me. There was another guy in here with a 2 gen needed alot of body parts... had a blue 73 I think, if you look up my previous posts you should be able to find us talking about parts, etc.

Year One tends to be expensive... Are you going to restore to factory or are you making it look nice and be mean as hell?

You may be better off buying a rolling chassis or a parts car if you need alot, you can quickly spend serious cash... but I guess you already realized that.

Oh well, Good Luck, keep me posted I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Oh by the way, NastyZ28.Com has alot of info on 2 gens.

Heh you know whats funny, when I was asking my mom about the kind of Camaro that I wanted, I originally wanted a 2nd gen because what my dad had, but I ended up with the third gen instead!

Welcome to AF

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. WOW IM IMPRESSED
FIRST TIMER ON ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
WE ARE GOING FOR THE WHOLE "BAD ASS" THING ON THIS 2nd GEN.
IT ALLREADY HAS A BEEFED UP 350 , HIGH RISE, HUGE EDLBROCK.
JUST A LITTLE RUST AND ALOT OF DIRT.
WE ARE REPLACING ENYIRE FLOORS AND QUARTERS.
HAVENT GOT INTO THE FENDERS YET....
IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME, FIRST TRY AT A CAR SINCE I WAS YOUNG.
JUST FINISHED MY 1973 HARLEY DAVIDSON, NOW ITS THE CAMAROS TURN

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL.

OUT.

Very uhm.. CAPATILIZED, huh? Lol.
Anyways hey if you did something like this when you were young, imagine now! And you'll have help with your son.

Yeah, kill the caps lock, lol. If you're going the bad ass route... look at WWW.Jegs.Com (http://www.Jegs.Com) cheaper parts than the resto catalogues like year one. Mainly high power stuff though, no body parts, etc. If you're not doing a concours resto they may be able to save you some $ on the mechanical stuff.
