Do you have any more pictures of your beautiful 68? love the hockey stick stripes. In one picture you show an orange dash and another a black dash. Which way did you go? |
I went with a black dash, thanks for the complements, this was a good shake down year and most of the bugs are out of the motor and suspension
here's the car again at Marina http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/IMG_7469.jpg here's Plain Jane at RTTC2 http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/IMG_6168.jpg Plain Jane Hanging with Bad Penny http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/IMG_6194.jpg as seen in camaro performers http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/x...performers.jpg |
Rod – Seeing all the pictures really puts your car in better perspective. That’s an amazing transformation! And all done in 14 months in your garage. Nice laundry list of suspension too! ;)

Bram's 68 pro-touring Camaro build in the Netherlands
This is mine, took me 7 years.
I did the stripping down of the paint (and lots of bondo)and after paint the assembly of all parts. Bodywork done by 3 different "guys". Thats why it took so long. I love the result. Still many wishes (LS1 or LS2, custom door panels, etc.) Here's the full story, in Dutch...........http://www.amerikaanseautopagina.com...ic.php?t=59845 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...sCamaro3-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/IMG_0151.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/795dd0a8.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...-3-2007086.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...IMG_2795-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/IMG_2903.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/DSC_0078.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/DSC_0034.jpg |
AWESOME! Nice job! When I saw the first pic I was like --- man that thing sits a bit high - but well - what the heck he's in the Netherlands... Then I got to the end and dropped my jaw! :cheers:
7 years went by in a hurray -- and you will enjoy every minute now! |
