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

Re: new to af
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.

Re: new to af
Yeah, kill the caps lock, lol. If you're going the bad ass route... look at 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.
