Default 68 Camaro "Viscosity"


^About two months ago.

Since all the cool kids seem to be posting their builds on PT and here, I'll do that too!

Picked this car up almost a year ago, April 15th, shortly after my 20th birthday. It was supposed to be done with quick and made a daily driver, but, uh, yeah that didn't go over so well. :seizure:

Anyway, the day I bought this car, it was bare metal with a small block and muncie dropped in. Everything else was done by me, and I honestly love cars, but have done nothing except change the air box and put new speakers in my old 2001 Camaro, so this all was pretty new to me. Building a car while working 2 jobs and going to school has been quite the pain in the ass, but I'm pretty sure it will be worth it, one day! I know no one is going to read this, so I better get some pics up here.

Specs of the car:
400 Small Block (What I was told, no way to verify)
Muncie M21
Stock Suspension
Odometer states 66k miles
Most of the sheetmetal was replaced, surface rust in random places on the underside floor board, nothing major
LS1 Brakes already installed by me
ZR1 Wheels already installed by me

Plans:
Arctic White Paint (2000~ Camaro White)
LS and a T56 (T56 first)
Speed Tech Upper Control Arms with Gmod
Hotchkis Springs and Bilstein Shocks for a front drop
Hotchkis Drop Leafs
Fiske or Forgeline Wheels
Iroc Box and Power Steering (In Progress)















Over a year, and I still haven't washed the car!





About 2 weeks ago, the wind was pretty bad, something scuffed against the car, might have been the car cover straps, and messed the paint up pretty bad.





Thank God for insurance.

At one point, I would have to assume the car was painted lime green...



No fear, getting a Covan dash with Autometer gauges!

As you saw above, the car has OEM ZR1's, I found the set on Craigs for $400 with tires. I had to get larger wheels because I would not run drum brakes! Period! So I searched ebay and got a complete LS1 brake set (plus master and booster) for some $500. Everything except front rotors, which I got from Tobin @ Kore3, who is EXTREMELY helpful.
