I WOULD NOT trade my 69 camaro...( and as you know i own this type Nova)
here are my reason's why..
once you get an all Drag car..thats all it is..a cut up Drag car it can never go back to street within reason.
But with your 69 camaro you can have the best of both Worlds if your careful how you go about it..and what i mean by this..is that you can leave the camaro Un-molested and Mini-tube it with the Kit they sell, sub frame connectors, Mid-plate it...Put you a cage that is just enough without harming the interior..leave eveything stock.....you can go with a pro-charger intercooled engine running pump gas and drive on the street and make up to 1200 hp ( see pro-chargers Site)..the camaro in the below link is the route i am wanting to go...over 1100 hp on pump gas..i like the look etc...check it out..it could be you Rudy with that beautiful blue 69 camaro you have...

you can make that camaro as bad as you want to and still have it close to its orginal form..with a set of 315 drag radials you could have you one bad true Stock suspension drag radial car....you got the best of Both worlds at your finger Tips...not to mention a 69 camaro is the baddest Body style ever Built ( imo)
thats my take on it Rudy.
