Hello from a n00b!
Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I am on the pro-touring.com forums as well.
After almost a year of looking, my dad and I just acquired this 69 Camaro RS/SS. Over the next couple of years, we will be doing a full Pro-Toruing conversion/restoration on the car.
Unfortuneately due to my wife being in school, I am away from home (and the car) for the next year. My dad plans to get the body work and modifications completed this summer so that when I return we can get going on the drivetrain and interior.
Rough plans include:
Aluminum Small block
Low compression forged internals
Twin GT42R Ball Bearing Turbos
Custom Intercooler
Custom Sheetmetal intake manifold
Custom Stainless Stee Headers/exhaust manifolds
Standalone Fuel Injection w/ direct fire coil ignition & Twin bank Wide Band O2 (Haven't decided what system, but TEC III, FAST, Big Stuff III are on my short list so far)
Racelogic Traction Control
T-56 6 Speed
Wayne Due Front Clip
DSE Mini Tubs
DSE Frame Connectors
13.5" Baer Brakes
4-link rear suspension
Bilstein Coil Overs
Currie 9" Rear end
10pt Roll Cage
4 Sparco Milano Seats w/ harnesses
DSE Custom Dash w/ Autometer Guages (Speedo, Tach, EGT, Boost, Water Temp, Oil Temp, Fuel Level, Fuel Pressure)
Vintage Air A/C
18" Wheels, 335/30/18 rear tires, 275/35/18 front
In the next while i will be making a webpage to document the build of the car.
I have been lurking here for a while, and this place looks like a great group of people! I look forward to meeting you all one day at some event! Take care.

My dad had a '69 SS when he was my age (22~ish!
) and it was originally Hugger Orange, then he painted it blue almost exactly the same as that car!
69's are probably one of the "coolest" of all Camaros ever
. I think it's safe to say they're probably one of, if not the most desirable years to own as well
.
Your plans for the car are not going to be cheap, but will all be well worth it if you guys do it right
. I look forward to seeing your progress with the car.
Oh yeah, and welcome to CZ28.com.....your new home away from home!!
