68 Camaro project
 

Hoping to have this car done by April '12 but it sure does take a lot longer than I anticipated. Here are some pictures: Goal http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October114.jpg Starting point http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../camaro019.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../camaro027.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...le/Fcar067.jpg Freshly rebuilt 396 http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October078.jpg Finished the headlights http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October077.jpg and tail lights http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October076.jpg Building dash piece and center console http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October172.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October171.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October169.jpg Trunk http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...October170.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ember11179.jpg Door panels http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ember11107.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ember11105.jpg Back deck- Rear buckets http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ember11104.jpg

Starting to wrap everything now..........I'll update with pictures soon.

Good luck!!! Looks great!!! :)

Very sweet. Great job!!!

nice work!

Thanks for the compliments.

Preview of what the door panels will look like. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ber11067-1.jpg

Wow, the door panels are crazy. Rendering is sick too. What size are the rear tires gonna be?

Car is not tubbed so I'm not going to be able to put much back there.

Wheels will be here early next week.......20x10 rear and 18x9 up front. Hoping to get a 275/30/20 in the back but I'm probably going to have to roll the fenders to make it work.

Nice interior work! Door panel's came out slick! Obviously not your first go around with doing this.

Wow! Looks great. Is this going to be an audio competition rig? You have some excellent mdf skills.

Not a competition rig just putting a nice sound system in it.

I wish I could take credit for the work but it's being done by an audio shop. These guys do excellent work.

Couple of updates............It's really starting to come together.

Lookin' Good!

Have I seen this car on another site?

That garage and black c6 looks familiar..

The interior is looking killer! Nice work...

That console is looking amazing! Who is making it and what is it made from? I want the same look in my 68!

I use to post on corvette forum. Had a couple Z06's and a ZR1 at one point but trying out a different car now. Just finally getting this 68 done.

It's being made out of mdf and fiberglass. Hope to have it all wrapped in the nex couple days.

Sweeeeeet
 

Who done the rendering for you?:thumbsup:

Interior is starting to come together and stereo is installed. Waiting on Forgelines and then it's off to have carpet and headliner installed.

A few pictures.......

Your goal rendering is exactly how a camaro should be lol. :thumbsup:

Killer Interior coming together smooth.

Very Nice!

Oh my
 

I saw your rendering when I clicked on, and it sucked the breath outta me...

I heard and felt it... Oh my, what a build you have going.... SWEET

Console, door panels, dash and rear deck are all done now. Seats are being done now should have them back in a week or so. Sorry for the Iphone pictures.

Going in to paint next then carpet and headliner! Hoping to be on the road by June.

Awesome interior!!

Great job on the interior, getting my creative juices going. Thanks

Wheels came in today so I tried them out. Need to do a little more adjusting on the ride height but I'm going to roll the fenders first. I was amazed at how much lip I was able to get without tubbing the car. Now it's off to paint.....!

They look great on there, Nice choice.

How big of a lip are on those? Mine is also not mini tubbed and want a fatter lip wheel. Really like all the changes you have made

Shortened the rear end 1.5 inches on each side which helped to achieve the look that I wanted. The backspace is 4.5" and the lip is 4" on a 19x9.5" wheel. Frank at Prodigy helped me with the offsets and sizes. He knows his stuff.

Wow loooks awesome. Love what you did with the interior. Can't wait to see it back from paint. Keep the updates coming.

Painted, Buffed and being put back together............

Very Nice.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Well....I have to admit that I had my doubts about the interior when I first spotted this thread. It has turned out so much better than I had imagined. The car has come together nicely and I think you've done a fantastic job. It holds true to it's classic roots and the modern touches are blended very well.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks. It's coming together.....I hope to have the interior finished and the car home in the next few weeks.

Looks great!

Nice job. What was the companies name that did the interior. Any more pics of the interior build? Turned out great.

Interior was done by Hyper Audio and Trendsetters is doing the seats, carpet and headliner. Couple more shots as it's being assembled and detailed.
