1968 Camaro 468, 5-speed, global west

[imjustjames]

Hey guys, I just picked up my first Pro Touring styled 68 Camaro. I'm not new to first gen Camaros by any means, but am very new to Pro Touring Styled cars. I will post of some pictures of what I am starting out with and I'll keep you guys updated. The build should move pretty quickly as I am not one to leave new parts sitting in my garage. Keep an eye out for the new kid on the block.
468 BBC with a 750 Carb. Ford 9" rear end with Global west tubular uppers and lowers. Nascar 4-wheels disk Big Brake kit. Ididit tilt column. Custom Welded Roll cage. 14 gallon Fuel cell. Stripped interior.

Plan is to remove the roll cage, add full interior, color change the exterior, Get the car to a better stance. Clean up the Engine bay, and clean the under carriage up. Well see if it stops there....haha

Well come to our crazy world

Nice base to start with, just watch out how many project threads you look at, it will cost you LOTS of cash!! I can tell that from looking at my bank account!

So let me guess your name is James?? We love names around here, so what are your plans so far your car??

Keep all the receipts because it won't stop there. It never does.

As of today, the cage is out, The car is Dyno matted, and Carpet is done. The Gto center Console is installed, (although it needs to be added onto to get it more flush with the dash). The Rear seats were added in, they are just standard 68 Camaro seats, The Front Buckets are some Nice summit imitation Leather.
Im getting close to getting here finished with first phase cosmetics. Once the door panels get here and are installed. The car will head to Paint.

When It gets back, I am going to Reroute the engine bay wiring and give it a flush look. I'll post some pics when I can.

Interior is almost to where I want it. Just deciding if I want any audio equipment or not. Just ordered a custom shift boot, and the trim for the gto console to cover the trans tunnel. Had to grind some pieces away from the standard GTO console in order to get it to sit right on the trans tunnel. Interior is getting to where I'm almost content. As soon as the seats are bolted down and I get the console how I want it, I'll post some pictures.

What sort of spray do you recommend for the coating inside your trunk to have a good look and a good coat?
