You can't re-do the suspension without adding some new shocks. We're not going crazy here but the Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks should add much better handling than the stock ride but won't break the budget on this weekend racer. Picked up a set of 4 from Checker for a really good price.
Monroe Sensa-Track Shocks: $126.04
Grand Total: $4924.74

Hotchkis Suspension Kit
We're going to start from the ground up, literally. You never see what's under you while driving in a car but we're creating modern pro-street handling, not just muscle. So Hotchkis makes a kit that bolt right on. They call it the Total Vehicle System Suspension Kit. The first big major purchase, and you won't be able to see any of it....but oh will you feel it.
Hotchkis TVS System: $1162.85
Grand Total: $4798.70

First Purchase
The interior is actually in really good condition for a 33 year old car. And yes, everything is still original. This car was literally driven to the grocery store and church every week and that's all. So the very first item of business is just to touch up and she'll seriously look brand new again. A very high quality interior paint for vinyl, plastics and pretty much anything else will do the trick.
First Purchase: $35.85
Grand Total: $3635.85

Meet Blanche. August 20, 2009
I was driving down the Alpine Highway from the freeway toward Highland on August 19th when out of nowhere the bright orange came out of nowhere in a weed filled lot on the side of the street. I said to myself, "that's not a '69, but she's still pretty". I flipped a u and had to get the specs. A day later I took her home after spending every penny I've been saving in the "camaro fund" since Liza and I got married, all $3600.
We found out that it was a two owner car, the first was Blanche, who bought the car brand new on 1/11/77 in Boise, ID and owned it for 30 years before selling it to the guy that I bought it from. He purchased the car from Blanche as an investment and sold it to me two years later.
So Blanche it is................
