Gibby's 1968 Camaro Family Ties

[gibby]

Hey everyone some of you know me because I have bought a lot of parts off here and received a lot of help from everyone on here.I have been working on my Camaro for about a year and a half I have posted on Team Camaro but due to the help I have received from everyone on here I thought I would start a build thread on here to. Let me start off by telling you why I named my car Family Ties. My Grandpa worked for GM for many years and in 1966 was promoted to the shop Foreman of the brand new Camaro plant in Norwood, Ohio.Also my Dad and uncle would work there in the summers pulling the cars off the line. Since I can remember probably about 15 or 16 years old really I have wanted a first Gen Camaro. The bummer part is that my Grandpa and Grandma have passed so they will never get to see the car. So last summer I saved some money and went on a search for a Camaro I knew that I would never get one because it seemed that everyone wanted a arm and a leg for a piece of crap. I was about to give up when I found this on Craigslist it was 1800 OBO I know rust bucket but it wasnt it was way worse. It had been in a field for 15+ years in Az good right. well I live in the mountains of AZ 7,000 feet it rains and snows a lot its a common misconception of AZ we actually have 4 ski resorts in the state. The guy had bought it to restore with his daughter and sounds like it never worked out so it sat and he was moving to Arkansas and needed it gone. Well I have never done a project before and having more time than money I went for it. While I was there I noticed a Rotesserie sitting next to the car rotting. So I offered him to buy the car if he through it in and delivered it to my house we agreed on a price and it was delivered across town. These are pictures of the day it came home.
