I think that next summer I will sell my thirdgen and buy me a 1 gen camaro... Kind of like the pro touring style.

A friend of mine told me that Ford was going to release a new mustang 2004 who would look like the old ones in the 65-70 ... i think thatīs pretty cool.. Cars has never looked better then they did in the 60īs IMO that is.

I would do the same thing with a 1st or second gen trans am. But I think I would keep my car for a daily driver and restore another like this web site.

Yepp... i totaly agree...i did not trust these ..i borrowed them from a farmer across the street and he was very proud to say that he made them himself

I did have two "real" jackstands upfront and i tried to get the car onto the rotoseries a.s.a.p before those amature-jackstands collapsed

Thats not a frame off restoration. You want to see one take a look at this 68. I plan on doing the same to mine:

Since i have unbolted the front frame and cut out the rear frame i would call it a frame-off restoration

you probably didn't look at all the pictures on my site.
