Hey everyone....Hoping I could get some information.

We are looking at doing some badly needed work on our '67 Camaro. (The #'s do not match so we are pretty open to anything)
Here is a picture....and some specs as it sits now


Specs:
427
2 Speed Automatic Transmission
Non-Powered Drums all the way around
Non-Powered Steering
No Suspension work
No Frame reinforcement

So basically....It has a Big Ass engine and nothing else has been done to it.
We have done nothing to it for over 15 years and it is just sitting and would like to update it.

This is what we would like to do.....(ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED)
Update Suspension - all the way around
install a Turbo 400 Transmission
Wheels and Tires Updated
Disc Brakes......(Front or All the way around)
Power Steering
Aluminum Rad....Electric Fan
Paint, detailing etc.....(Mechanical Stuff first)

What kind of budget are we looking at and when would we hit the point of being better off to just send it somewhere?

Thanks in advance

All of these things listed you can do at home.  Couple of days if you are machanically inclined, week or two if not.

i just replaced all my drums with disks, replaced all break lines at the same time. thought it would be a smart idea to be abable to stop the car as well as i can with new tech. cost was about $1200 for all this.

I would go with the hideaway lights, custom tinted windows and custom flames over black body.
