Camaro sunoco 1969 tribut
« on: May 05, 2020, 09:55:51 AM »
Hello.
I am currently on my project to build a camaro sunoco from 1969.
I want it to be as fair as possible.
Thanks in advance for all the help I read on this fantastic forum.
-------------------------------
I started on an already modified 1969 camaro base, but many things need to be reviewed and redone.
You will recognize the car for some ...
Soon I will post photos and comment on progress ...
Good morning all ... :D

here is the camaro as it arrived in Switzerland.
It presented well ... but too many defects, and not the right color ...

There's a clone listed for sale on Naples, FL CL.  Been on there quite a while.

Welcome to the site! Re-creating the Sonoco Camaros as accurate as possible will be an enduring task. I applaud you on your efforts. Cant wait to see it! Anyways, the Boss 302 guys have done high quality 'Tribute' builds on theirs. May I suggest you visit the Boss 302 site for some insights and info. Btw, some of those members are here also. Please keep us informed on your progress.

the great dismantling begins.
It is a question of starting almost from scratch the modifications already made.


I cut the skirt like the original.

Try looking at some of the NASCAR/Sportsman outlets. They usually have them.

You could have put it in the Trans am section, but the moderators can move it if they deem it necessary. Great work so far. Where did you source the metal you used for the hood?
