so, there is a a 69 Camaro i want to pick up and restore. the problem is, i only have a few basic tools, wrenches, a ratchet, pliers, etc. so, that being said, what exactly would i need as far as tools go? i have a general idea of what i might need, but i am new to this area of building, so i am kind of lost. i found some articles online that helped me, but what exactly are good brands to buy?
I would suggest you go to large flea markets and working on making sets of 3/8 drive deep and shallow. 1/2 drive deep and shallow. Ratchets for each set.
Do what you can when a tool is needed look for a good quality tool. U.S. tools will cost more also German tools. Purchase as needed this way you will eventually have most of what you need.
