Well, I have decided to pull the trigger and finally start a build thread for my 68 Camaro. I bought this as my first car when I was 15 years old (1995). I remember it like it was yesterday going and having my dad test drive it and then he made me call back later that night and do all the negotiations for the price. Got it for 2800 dollars and could not have been happier. It is also a build to thank my dad first for getting me involved in cars since I was little. and second allowing a 15 year old kid buy a 68 camaro with all of my saved money. in his defense it was a 6cyl 3 speed car haha.
this is not how the car looked when I first brought it home but i can not find those pictures, it had stock hubcaps and steel wheels. But i Quickly changed that.
I drove it around my yard until I got my official license then I got my temp plates and had it ready for the road
I drove it like that for a few years then swapped in a small block and 4 speed
Decorated for my HS senior prom
My older brother got a little jealous and picked himself up a chevelle
Anyway after driving it hard for a few years as a kid, once in college it started showing the effects of being a daily driver in New England. That is when I parked it in my dads garage and started to tear it apart. THEN LIFE SET IN!!! College, Job, Marriage, House, baby 1, Bigger house, Baby 2. So there is sat for 10+ years
Finally it was time to either work on it or sell it. My wife wanted me to fix it because she knows how much it has meant to me. also she was a little jelous old girlfriends got to ride in it and she hasn't haha. So I pulled it out of my dads garage and put it in my
well that is a quick background for my car, I have since began getting more done and will continue to update this thread in hopes it helps me actually get this thing DONE one day!!!
