Hey i just joined to, i have a 1969 El camino, its bin my project car for about 2 years now, im doing sortof a restoration/street performance deal on my car. im hopeing to sell it after i graduate for money for college, and of course enjoy it while im in high school

if you sell it you will regret it later!!!!

i will most likely regret it, but hey that always leaves room for a mid life crises camaro, did you know you can buy a brand new frame for a 1969 camaro convertable in a crate? its like $13,000 but its still cheaper then a vette..

so when you add up all the stuff from OPG and evry swap meet in the country you have a 1969 camero clone that cost you 100K......ouch that hurts!!! think I'll wait for the Challenger.

Ill have that chance this upcomeing weekend though at the chicago auto show
the camaro project may be pricy, but for what i want to do to it, worth it , god i hope i get a job that pays good... lol
