Default 68 Camaro Project

This is my Standard 68 Camaro, I bought it about a month ago in North Carolina. Its solid all the way around minus some surface rust but nothing serious. Currently the subframe is being off getting powdercoated. I have a 11'' disc brake conversion waiting in the garage and I will be ordering global west coilovers and control arms in a few days. Ill put up more pics when I get the subframe back. You can see in the pics that i have an older house with a garage that barely allows the door to shut with the car rolled in. It makes working on the car interesting but so far I have made it work.

I just found out that you arent allowed to leave a camaro shell on jackstands in your driveway in virginia beach if you are getting the subframe powder coated. Appartently I have 7 days to move it, only problem is im on a training trip for another 10 days. The ticket discribed my car as Junk/trash/ scrap metal.

Default Subframe

I Picked up the subframe today, i still need to call frank and get some parts ordered. Im going to go with Hotchkis Control arms, and drop springs up front. I hope to have the order in by the end of the month.

Also can anyone tell me what this is? I tried to put a red circle around it hopefully you can see it.


some pics of the subframe

Gaps look awesome - a lot of work went into those!

Thank You, Jim has definitely gone the extra mile on the gaps. The Car will come out better than I ever expected for sure.

Default Trucklid Attempt 2

the trunk lid I ordered initially was way out of adjustment, Jim tried to make it fit, but at the end of the day it was just too cheap of a product. Jim ordered a new one and it would appear we are on track again in the rear of the car.

I'll shut up now.
