Hi guys, I am fairly new to the muscle car world, as my 69 is only the second muscle car iv owned since I was 16. Im now 41...do the math. Up until 4 years ago, I was waste deep in off-roading...mud bogging to be exact. Im from North western ON Canada, so we dont have any orginized bogging here, just a bunch of good ol boys gettin stuck, and drinkin beers. Due to a progressing back cond, I finally had to throw in the towel...too hard on me, and sell my rig and all my parts. I then bought a #'s matching 72 RS Camaro and restored it %85, before a fire took it and the shop. All I can say is know your policy...I dont wish that experience even on a Ford guy...lol. I now have a new shop , and a 69 six cyl car I bought @ 9000 feet up in the mountains of Colorado. I since have done a rotissorie resto on it, with a Dart Big M 572, with 640hp/684TQ, a TCI TH400 full man drag race tranny, and for now the 8.5" 10 bolt that I bought it with. Heres some pics
This is what I picked up in the mountains

Bought some seats out of a 2004 Pontiac GTO,

Finished with the rotissorie and started to put it all together

Since the last pic was taken, I have bought the front end (fenders, 2" cowl hood, grill etc),the outer rear fender wells, and rear quaters. Im currently trying to save every penny to get started on the body work/paint. Hard to do, believe me, on dissability .Anyway good to be here, and hope I can help others.

69camaro572, Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Unfortunately, a lot of US citizens are ignorant about your awesome country. I had a car accident in extreme northern BC back in 1994, and everyone was extremely helpful. I'm 40, so, a lot of my generation's first taste of Canada was from the movie, Strange Brew. I was shocked that you guys really do say eh alot. :-)

Most importantly, I would like to welcome you to this forum, and to thank you and your fellow Canadians for your hard work and assistance during Operation Yellow Ribbon during and after the horrible attacks of 11 September 2001.
