73 Camaro

[MrMonte]

20+ years ago I was looking for my Son's 1st car. Found this clean 73 Camaro but it didn't have AC so a friend bought it. He took it apart to make a race car then quickly gave up so the Camaro sat in a field for 20 years before he gave the remains to me a few months ago.

I striped it down to bare metal & found no rust or any prior damage. Sprayed some epoxy primer then some 2K hi build primer. Yesterday painted the inner bits. Looking for a 2010-2012 Camaro SS with 6 speed manual as a donor. Upgraded to C5 Corvette 13" front disc & Blazer 12.7" rear disc, 1 3/8" front swaybar & 1" rear swaybar.

Plan is to have it ready for the Hotrod Power Tour 2025.

More picks. I'm also building a 1:18 scale version of my project.

The inside was a mouse house for 20 years but is all clean now.

If it was mine I'd make it a split bumper clone. I love that look.
Did you get a drivetrain with it?

No engine, fenders, radiator support or any bolts. Sold the trans & fuel injection that came with it for $500.

I'm going with non RS front with split bumper, burnt orange with painted black rally strips like this pic.

You should make her all sexy like that and then throw in a 2.5L iron duke out of an S10 from the 80s
