soonercrew · #1 06-21-2009, 06:18 AM

I have been lurking around this site for some time now... ive spent alot of time reading everyones posts and figured it was about time for me to start one of my own... im currently working on my 1st project... 72 camaro z28... the car is pewter silver w/stand. black interior, all #'s matching... i guess when i say all #'s matching and date correct i mean most! engine, heads, carb., distributor (yes,dist.,which i found was an extremely rare part?), starter, coil, M-22 tranny, rear-end, intake, manifolds, smog system, wheels, valve covers, wiper motor and more that i probably missed... these are the items ive verified... im halfway into the restoration and am already ready to start another!!! although, a few of my good friends who are members of this site and have lots of experience have urged me to go one at a time... yet, i walk into their storage or garage and there are a handful of them...lol... their advice has been: do as i say, not as i do!!! anyways... i will try to take the time this weekend to post some pics of my progress to this point...

im open to any comments and even criticism... just be easy! i am a humble guy, but tend to raise my voice when someone gets a little too harsh and out of line... i would love to hear any feedback thru my process! and i do know about the tranny having the 6/9 inverted... i have had a gentleman (long-time member of this site) look at it, along with a post i started here, and seems that 99% majority agree that its a mistake that was probably made on the line... and apparently this is just one of the many times its happened... hope to hear from you guys and make new friends along the way!
thanks,
scott

Looks like an awesome project. Lots of origional pieces there. Best of luck on the car.

Am I seeing things or is the car VIN 62117 and the block VIN 62117 but the tranny VIN has a flipped 6 and it shows 92117? That's wild.
