User submit: rebuild of a ’69 Camaro SS (17 HQ Photos)

Author: Rick | September 19, 2012 | In: Chevrolet, Classics, DIY, High-Res, SUBMIT

"We took this old scrapper '69 SS and turned it into a modern classic show car! It took 3 years of constant work and has appeared in several magazines to date. A few specs for you. It has a 555 cu in edelbrock Pat Musi custom crate engine that puts out 1000  ft lbs of torque and has over 700hp. (side note the picture in the desert was taken by a photographer of Chevy Big Block magazine all others are my own). pictures including one when it was still in the powder coat stage. The person behind the wheel is my dad who is the man who is behind this rebuild. The car is Dupont Firecracker Red with a pearl sheen so that it goes from a burnt red orange to a much darger almost flame red. Body work was done by NexHotrods (now out of buisness) and paint was done by the HACK shack in Rodgers AR and there are more that I can list if you like.
Again the only professional pictures where done by Chevy Bigblock all others where done by us."
Thank you Richard for share this beauty.

    Awesome, great work

  • Brian

    Looks great! Wish there were more pics of the restoring process. I particularly like the notches in the bumper for the exhaust, just one of the many very nice touches I see that you did. Props to you and your dad, not much can build a tight bond with the "old man" like building a car together. My dad and I have done it a couple times, and now I have my 6 six year twin boys in the garage "helping" me with my projects.

    • Richard

      Thanks, Sadly my dad had most of the restoration done professionally at various shops but it was fun to work on when we did have it at the house. Our next project is a '53 ford F100 Stepside "Big glass" edition_

    Looks killer man! Congrats and well done!

  • YEP

    One of the best "Custom" jobs I've seen. Nothing over the top (555) well almost nothing. The average person would think it was stock, sans the roll bar. Well done sir, well done!!

  • North

    Excellent work. Looks great

    Awesome transformation! It now looks as elegant as a brand new one.
