When you think of restoration, you think of an all factory stock car, you don’t think of custom engines and pint work, but restoration is basically custom body and mechanical work on your car, and most restoration shops are glad to do hot rod work on your car.

The 1969 camaro has long been a platform for custom car builders, they have done things that you can’t imagine with them, but before you get in to chopping and channeling your 1969 camaro you might want to think about a couple of things.

First of all, when you customize your car your making it what you want it to be, not what somebody that you may want to sell it to is looking for, you don’t want to do huge custom work unless you plan to never sell the car, you’ll never get out of the car, what you put in to it.

I love custom cars as much as the next guy, but the plain and simple fact of the matter remains, that they are worth less if you customize them, so if you think that you may sell it at some point in time, keep the custom work to a minimum.

Always in every cast you should keep the parts that you take off of your car, so when you sell it some day, you can tell the buyer that you have all of the original parts that cam off of the car, this will make a huge difference to the person buying the car.

I’m all about the custom work if you plan to keep the car, and hand it down to the kids at some point, make your 1969 camaro exactly what you’ve envisioned it to be, chop it; channel it; flame it, and stick that supercharged engine through the hood.

The main part of any car, is that you have fun with it, and the best way to do that is to make it your car by doing all the fine details, by customizing it your way, and getting exactly what you want, it’s a beautiful thing to pull you car out on the road for the first time after the work is done.

So I say do everything that you want to do to the car, but make sure that it can be returned to it’s most basic factory stock form, if your concerned about the value of the car, but by all means, go out and get your 1969 camaro, and have fun with it.
