John's 68 Camaro
Well, I've been watching everyone elses projects here for about 5 years now so I figured it's about time to show everyone mine and thank everyone for all the advise, ideas and inspiration. About 7 years ago I started looking for a first gen and after dragging my trailer all over the midwest looking at potential projects only to find junk at astronomical prices, I got frustrated and quit looking for awhile. Then, one night I jumped on ebay and found this one an hour from home with the auction ending within the hour. It was brought here from California in '76, disassembled, forgotten about and was now for sale. It looked good in the pics but the buy it now was astronomical so I just maintained the high bidder until the end but it didn't meet the reserve. I contacted the seller after the auction ended, arranged an inspection date and after seeing it in person, we agreed on a price and it was mine! Over the next few years we started a family so not much got done except for disassembly and stripping at Restoration Specialists in Milwaukee. I knew it had some work done in the right rear but I was a little suprised after the stripping revealed the body work.
