Project introduction/progress pic 68' Camaro
 
I bought this car (68 camaro) about 7 months ago and immediately starting tearing it apart. The shell has been at Mickey's Chassis Works getting the 4 link built w/ qa1 coilovers, new rear frame rails built, new rear sheetmetal, sfc, and rearend narrowed. It also spent a couple days getting blasted and primered. But in the meantime I spent a few dollars buying my Budnik M5s, Moser rearend guts and axles, Wilwood brakes (Thanks Frank), DSE speed kit 1 (Thanks Frank). My next few steps with the car is to get the subframe out and powdercoated, brakes and front suspension installed, and coat the undercarriage. Well I thought I should share some pics, since I have been looking at other's pics everyday for past year. These are a few progress pics, compliments and constructive criticism are welcome!!


Here are some pics that the guy sent me when I was interested in buying it.

Some pics after getting it blasted and primered. The shell was overall very solid, there are some minor pin hole issues with the window channel.
