My name's Mike, I'm 16, I'm new to the site. I just bought my first car, its a shell of a '68 Camaro. Got it fairly cheap, planning to install mini tubs and the DSE speed kit 2. I want to keep it budget seeing as I am still in high school. Just hoping to stick around for awhile and get some info from guys that have been doing this for awhile. I'll post pics of the car tonight, i only have the ones from the junkyard where I bought it.

Welcome Mike.

Looking forward to seeing those pictures. Sounds like you have some great plans for the car. Very cool that you saved it from the junk yard.

Not many guys your age driving around in 68 Camaros. I suppose your just ahead of the norm.

Think of it as a blank canvas awaiting the artists touch.

First of all WELCOME!!

That looks like my car a few years ago!! Get everything you wont use stripped off and then pressure wash the car real good before doing anything else...I didn't do this and should have! Then strip the paint and see what you have to work with. The car will look better in a uniform metal finish and you won't be able to not work on it as you will be sooo excited! Have fun with it!
