So those that know me know I'm a car ju**ie. And I have wanted to build a car for my wife for a long time. This is not what she thought I meant. But here is our hacked up rotten 1969 camaro. I have been slowly working on test fitting and measuring in my free time before I put the body on the jig. And since the 73 camaro in the shop has to go in a jig too and I will have all the stuff set up now would be a good time to make some progress on it. Since this is my nights and weekend project ( like my fury ) progress might be a little slow.
