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.

Gordon,

I have had many dreams of finding a perfectly patina'd Camaro and this is it.

You sir have built my Dream Car.

I hope you never change the paint and please if you ever decide to sell it please think of me.

Congratulations, Gordon. The car really looks killer

It's amazing what the right wheels will do, also. I love that wheel..

Will it make Motor State or any other events later this year since no paint?

Doesn't hurt to ask..

What a cool survivor! I agree - leave the body as is. I wouldn't change mine if it were that nice!
