Hi

I never new this site existed until Cluxford posted the link on Latteral G.
Anyway I have a 69 Pro street Camaro, 509 Merlin B/B. I am about to start the Pro touring conversion soon which I am looking forward to, I will be traveling to the States later in the year with a big shopping list.
I will try to post some pics of the car now and then upbate as the build goes on.

Regards

Greg

Greg,

Welcome aboard.

You need to set up a build post so we can watch the progress.

Don't listen to those others 69's are very cool, but 68's rock !!

Dynoed your engine yet ?

I had a trade bay for our new business Stripped Bare Soda Blasting and any time I was near the car I just had to go for a drive.
I won't be at Big Al's as the car is not registered.:(

Ah spewin!
Good to see a competitor for Western Soda Blasting! :)
Is the shop located North or South of the river?
I will have a '68 camaro that will need a 'blast' in the coming months.

Gday from another Perth based Big Block Camaro owner. I to am about to start a ground up rebuild and only last weekend I was talking to my spraypainter and discussed soda blasting! PM me your company details.

I just returned from the states 2 weeks ago with a some parts to add to those that I have been accumulating over the last 3 years in anticipation of the rebuild.

Looks like this forum may need to have a WA section!! ;)

And maybe even a trader section as it looks like may have some business coming your way from forum members tonner...

I too will be in need of some blasting work.
