The Virginia Muscle Car

(Tony's 1969 Camaro)

Like Tony's 65 Chevelle, this 1969 SS Camaro needed a lot of work. Tony saw potential in this 69 small block with a Muncie 4 speed Chevy pony car. In the pictures below, you will see how a great restoration is performed, that started with car in the above picture.

Deconstruction started with cleaning out the engine bay ... totally. Notice in the right photo that there is an automatic trans attached to the engine; that is now gone and replaced by a Muncie 4-speed.

Engine bay all cleaned up and painted with new suspension parts installed.

Both rear quarter panels were replaced as well as both front fenders.

Body sheet metal was sanded/smoothed, primed, and a guide coats applied to get the body as straight as possible.

Tony sprays his own top coat. Body is straighter than original and with a great color. It was a great day for painting.

Motor was installed with the Muncie 4-speed and with a clutch conversion.

Painting is finished. This is how it looked after applying the factory racing stripes and mounting the mags. Waiting on a rear window. It is all about the journey for Tony ... He does great work with special cars ~Bob
