Default '69 L78 with backstory

My friend Brian is about to help Chris Knudsen prep this Camaro to paint back to original Lemans Blue.
Chris's Dad Roger was a local old school drag racer and bought this Camaro in 1984 to race NHRA Stock. Roger won Stock Eliminator at a national event at Brainard (MN) Raceway in 1998.
After Roger's passing son Chris inherited the car and continued to race it. In 2018 Chris won the same national event, at the same track, 20 years after his Father.
Chris is also building an aluminum head (L89) engine for 2021.
I think that is a pretty cool story!

Forgot to mention, runs 10.20 in C/Stock L78 trim.
