Analysis Of Chevy Caaro Project Car G-Machine/Resto-Modor
The primary goal of this article is to provide extensive detail on the time, effort, costs, and parts involved in building a 1969 Chevy Camaro project car g-machine/resto-mod. While there are plenty of other, more sophisticated builds than this one, I think this project should serve as a decent example of what a novice can do in his own garage.
The primary goal for this project was to create a unique and special ride that I can drive the hell out of (safely) and enjoy frequently. A car that is different than what everybody else has on the road and something that might actually go up in value over time instead of down like many. Most importantly, I wanted to build it myself and have something that I can one day pass on to my future children and create some …show more content…
I had built several engines and worked on cars in high school and college, worked at an auto parts store, did quite a few custom stereo installs, etc. So I had the automotive background and learning capacity.
3. I have a big 2 car garage.
4. I have enough savings and a good income to tackle the financial requirements.
When I thought about the car I wanted to build, I knew it had to be the following:
1. A '69 Camaro. It's just always been my favorite car since I was in high school. It also has to have the RS front end.
2. A big block. I had 2 Trans Am's when I was in high school and college and they both had big blocks and I just love the low-end torque and the easy power.
3. An all-around performance vehicle with some modern features. Great power, handling, breaking, etc.
4. A unique vehicle with my own personal touches. Good looking but not over-stated or too flashy.
5. Good but moderate stereo system.
6. Very 'drivable'. Definitely not a trailer queen or garage decoration.
A. The exhaust should not be so loud that I can't hear the stereo or talk to the passengers.
B. The engine should not have so much horsepower that it's unfriendly or exceptionally gas guzzling, but still enough horsepower to haul
