I've been a subscriber to SuperChevy for years now and have been reading it and other similar publications since I was a kid.  To be able to finally post a ride that I built myself here is really crazy.  Well, for my Camaro, I spent about 2.5 long long years working on it each day in my garage.  I did all the work myself besides the final layers of blue paint and clear.  I worked on cars when i was in high school, but this was my first ever full-on restoration/customization and I'm pretty stoked with how it came out.  It's a blast to drive and a great way to meet people and make friends.  It's truly a dream come true for me and something I'll prize for the rest of my life.  I also spent a lot time and effort creating a website to document the entire build to a level of rediculous detail in order to hopefully help out the next average guy like me.  The website for this project is:  www.69CamaroProject.com.  Please feel free to check it out.  Here are the high-level details:
