I'm used to being on a site full of young ricer people with ambition to build but no resources to help them or knowledge to do it correctly. It's good to see someone with a quality RSX-S and well-done Chevy truck. You've done some good work. How much have you spent on all that?

I don't have the Acura anymore. I have those vehicles in the driveway in one of those videos. The RSX got replaced with the RX-7.

Well the truck was free and I'm around 10k+ into it so far and still have a little ways to go.

For a car enthusiast, there's always a little bit to go.

wow sounds like you have quite a few projects ahead, twinscrew supercharger on a type-s (redshift?), good luck getting traction

.

Seriously though I want to see some in car videos of you racing the truck, looks and sounds badass.

I'm 28 and I grew up with my Dad who had a couple of 69 Camaros back in the day when I was about 5 years old. He ended up selling them but growing up he always reminded me of them and I always had a soft spot for those 69s. Well I grew up and eventually got into imports... boosted imports. Right now I drive a 2006 Acura RSX Type-S fixing to be twin-screw supercharged. But anyway... my Father recently passed away and I ended up getting his old 84 Chevy P/U truck that he's had since it was brand new off the lot. I decided to build a hot rod out of it in memory of him. A long time ago I made a license plate for him to put on his truck but he never put it on because it looked so nice. It was a picture of his old car and it read, "My Other Car is a 69 Camaro". Well after getting the truck painted I put the plate on the truck and that's where it's staying. I bought a 72 Nova drag racing car with a fully built 383 / TH350 and Ford 9" rear end and I swapped everything over to the truck. Now I'm getting that V8 fever.

Every since I found out about how they are bringing back the Camaro and how it's styled after the 69s I have been getting excited. So excited that I have decided to join the dark side. I'm getting this car when it comes out no doubt about it. Not only because I like how it resembles the 69s but because I will feel like I have a peice of my Dad with me being that he drove a Camaro when he was my age and I am taking after him.

Here's some pics of my truck (my Dad's old truck)

The license plate...

The way it sits now...

A quick photoshop of it lowered with wheels / tires...

A shot of the motor just being put in...

Welcome aboard, I'm sorry to here about your dad I just lost my dad last month, Those pics of the 69s bring back memories for me the one on the for left is the same color as mine it wasn't top dog but it was my first car it had a 307 with a two speed power glide but nice work on the truck. I think it would be nice if some how you could dedicate the new camaro to your dad like the license plate or something inside the car, Just a thought

SulphurDave · 12-25-2007, 02:00 PM

Yea my Dad and his 69 Camaros have a lot of influence on getting a 5th gen for myself.

SulphurDave · 12-28-2007, 04:15 PM

I'm about 95% done with the interior now. Just need to wire up the guages (the cluster is just sitting in there in the pic), install the stereo and tint the windows.

D@MN. That is gorgeous! Excellent work! You do the dash on your own? Love the bucket seats too...much better than a bench. I hated that bench in my Chevy...

It's my original dash. Lots of patience, time, sanding, resin, filler, sanding, patience, sanding, primer, sanding, cussing, primer and painting it with automotive paint will get you a dash like that.
