Jim Johnson's 68
Camaro |
 |
 |
This 68 Camaro is designed and custom built by Jim
Johnson of Jim�s Body & Paint in Geneva ,Iowa.
It belongs to Donny Warneke. Donny got the car in 1985 and drove it throughout
High School.
He and my boy ran together. Travis had a 71 Chevelle at the time. They were two
of the local gearheads, who, together built,raced, swapped, and grenaded more
than a few engines, and scattered many other parts across the countryside. I
helped put the Camaro back together after a couple of outta control ditch rides.
Along the way the 68 got pushed, motorless, in the barn for a long rest. In 2003
it got drug into my shop again, this time for a nice restoration. This thing was
beat to death and needed it all. Why restore at this stage? Let�s build. The
outdoor pictures are from Dec. 06 ,Then it was put in the trailer to go for
interior. It went Dec. 27, 07 to Recovery Room Hot Rod Interiors for a one off
Custom treatment by Tracy Weaver and Crew. I will update soon.
