Re: Finally found one for Dad.
Dad will be 59 in October. I'm hoping to have it ready then. Although Dad liked driving the six cylinder Nova I had he digs the small block Nova I have now and mentions his old Chevelle with the 327 4 speed alot. The six in the Camaro is tired and is a replacement engine from the 80's. The car is very solid but will need some floor pan work and a couple of fenders and possibly one quarter. Trunk looks great and the frame rails looked nice too. A battery issue took care of one fender and extension, core support and the tray itself... I like the 15x8 rally wheels but again, Dad really digs Torque Thrusts so I think it will have a set of tto's when I get to that point.

Re: Finally found one for Dad.
That is great, wish I could do that. I always say that if my dad were still here I would get him a blooming onion and a cordless drill.
This also reminds me of a friend whose brother bought a 69 Z, had Super Car Workshop restore it. He had shipped to a car show and he went nuts looking for the owner untill his brother handed him the keys.

Re: Finally found one for Dad.
Wow!!!!! The stories about dads always seem to get to me. my dad has had 12 back operations reconstructive surgery on his right foot and just had his right hip replaced and has to have the other done this fall. he is my hero. always has been. Like you Tommy, I bought and am currently restoring an 81 el camino ss for him. we bought a 427 stinger vette hood scoop a muncie 4spd and 327/365hp motor out of a wrecked 65vette.1965 el camino bed emblems 60,s style ss badges old rally wheels. its coming together nicely. he bought a new heritage soft tail 2yrs ago but cant hardly hold it up now. he like the 78-87 el caminos so thats what i bought him. congrats on your find im sure he will be happy.
heres to you and your dad. i hope he gets better

Re: Finally found one for Dad.
Thanks for the encouraging words guys. I just left the resto guys shop a few minutes ago and from what we can see it appears to be a really solid camaro. He likes what he sees. Just last nite Dad mentioned how cool the 1st Gen Camaros were... I just smiled and agreed
