The car does have a the DSE mini-tub kit. I am just getting re-directed into not setting it up for PT. In reading all your comments, and the fact that I already mini-rubbed it, I am leaning to giving the car the suspension it deserves to have, and or should have had from the factory.

I do plan to keep the car for as long as I am on this earth. Just got directed on another path, and became unsure of what to do.

I do think I will put the stock 350 motor in and wake it up a little.

It's a bit of a struggle to do the right thing.

I have owned my 68 SS for 40 years and after a complete suspension upgrade the handling finally matches the body styling. I love being able to hang with a Z06 through a set of twisties.

JDMan, your car is beautiful bro. I had that exact color scheme in my head for my next project...my 68 C10. I was trying to see what a lighter blue with grey/charcoal centers would look like. Thanks for putting it into an exact hard copy for me to see. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yeah, now that these guys know you've already got a mini tub in it, I think they will change their minds about preserving originality. :thumbsup:

If you had an RS/SS - original camaro, with all its original parts, would you convert it into a Pro-touring type car?

Do you ever plan on selling this car as a #'s matching all orig Camaro? Are you happier driving it in it's present state, Are you a #'s matching guru? If not go for it!! I think a true RS/SS PT car will have a little more class to it

Front/Rear Suspension

Front a arms swaybars and shocks can all be put back to stock, Same with the rear as long as you leave it a leaf spring.

Engine swap, 500hp. - and keep the original in the corner.

:thumbsup:


keep the interior stock. - deluxe

Would be a little more unique then some of the PT cars.


18'sx11's at the rear. 18's front.

Stock wheels can be reinstalled

Once you Mini Tubbed it it lost it's status as an all orig car

Every Camaro I ever owned and modified was an SS, RS or Z/28.. I think it adds clout
