Thanks!
It's come to my attention that some may confuse me with another user going by the name Coronado Gold....well we are 2 different people and I am only providing links to my own car. It has taken me over 5 years to get it to the point it's at. I've learned a LOT about fabrication, suspension, drivetrain, brakes, body, paint, and interior through the process so I look forward to being a useful resource in the near future. http://firstgenfirebird.org/show/closeup.mv?CarID=642

Re: Not a Camaro, but a first gen!
Nice car... although it looks like a 70 with the way the headlights are. Exactly like a 70 GTO. You didn't swap out the nose / headlight bezels did you? or did you buy it that way?
Put up some interior pic's if you get a chance.

Re: Not a Camaro, but a first gen!
good job on the car... the paint scheme reminds me of something i may have seen on overhaulin'.
oddly enought I thought about doing almost that exact paint scheme on my car. welcome to AF.

Re: Not a Camaro, but a first gen!
LOL
thanks for the comments, guys! The car has not been on a dyno.....yet. According to desktop Dyno HP should be in the 550-575 range, but torque is closer to 620-640. Not too bad for a weekend toy.

Re: Not a Camaro, but a first gen!
Thanks guys! I agree the bird is the closest cousin! I always wanted a 69 Camaro, then happened across this 69 and the price was right for it's condition so I built it how I wanted it....
Thanks for all the props!
