The Last 68

[deuce32]

hi guys im a newbie here , well i just purchased a 68 camaro restoration project . in my eyes it is gonna be the camaro i always wanted and it will be the last 68 ....reason being thru events in my life ive restored 9 of these cars , rs , ss, convertables and ect ...all of those gotten sold due to money issues . now that im more secure im gonna build mine to stay with me . fortunatly it is a standard camaro , but ill add my options , going rs style , ive got my L88 hood in carbon fiber and the others to accent the hood , im pickuping my block and heads (462 bb )and using a tremec trans too , gauges are going to be autometer carbon fiber style . lots more to come !!ill post pics as i get parts

L88 hoods are bad ass. I have been waiting to see a Pro Touring car with one on it.

looks like your on the right track to a cool ride and welcome to the site. I have restored several of these myself and if you are looking for parts let me know. I have a lot of stuff new and old

Cool !
Sounds more like you are going for the Baldwin Motion look than RS.
We had an L88 hood on a 73 Baldwin Motion Clone back 15 years ago.... I love that look !
