I completely agree, go with the pro patina touring theme.

I agree with everyone else here. Leave it as is and beat the snot out of it.
Nice wheels!

The rear wheels are 12x19 with 6.75" backspacing

Thanks guys! The plan is to paint the engine compartment and underbody and leave the patina alone. Something different and as Jody mentioned, will make for a great driver/track car. Special thanks to Travis at Formula43 for ideas on the wheel style and color. I'm fortunate to live only a few miles from their shop so it's very cool to see how they machine and build their wheels.

The photo below is from the day I received it from El Paso. A nice, dry, (basically) rust free old Camaro

I like it Gordon!

The surprise/wow factor of walking up to that car in the pits or at an event will be off the charts. Focusing your resources on the engine compartment, underbody, trunk, and interior with historic paint and killer drivetrain and suspension will really spin people. While paint adds to a car's look, it limits most owners desire to use them...........properly.
