Brandy (You're a fine girl)
Brandy is a 69 RS Camaro who was stripped down beyond her skivvies and completely restored in 1991 by a gentleman named Bob Brand and his son Josh in their garage. After her restoration, she had photo shoots with Car Craft and Super Chevy, but at the time she didn't make either magazine (Hopefully this will change soon as she takes on a new personality). In 2001 became the fourth owner of this beauty since her restoration. At the time, she appeared to be somewhat neglected with little or no upkeep, but at least she wasn't abused. Over the past several years and especially over the past year, she has been receiving my divided attention.
Okay, my 2007 winter upgrades have finally been completed, well at least to the point where everybody thinks i'm finished. Brandy is now sporting a fuel injected 396 with a 5-speed trans. SWEEEET!
Don't forget to leave a rating on your way out. I know she isn't perfect, but I wouldn't trade her for the world.

Put Brandy back on the road today, it's been a long time coming. Still need to tweak around a few things with the injection system, but for the most part she is solid. Happy days are here again!

Engine went back in today, maybe not the last time though. I still have to poke a hole in the firewall for the fuel injection system. Still waiting on my crossmember from Prodigy. This is really ridiculous.

Just received my Meziere water pump and it is gorgeous! Tried to bolt up the alternator and PS pump but both brackets need a little bit of machining to get things to work. Nothing is ever easy on a project such as Brandy.

With a ride like this, who needs a "system"? I'd much rather listen to the music coming from under the hood. However, when I get the Covan instrument panel I will probably put a system in since I won't have to cut up the original dash. This car is louder than my Harley at highway speeds and listening to the current radio is nearly impossible unless you know the song that's playing :)
- FInish installing new stainless steel body bolts
- Get hood repaired
- Install a DSE dash insert with new guages and new stereo
