So here it is guys, my 68 Camaro that I picked up from my High School Auto Shop Class for $150.00 :woot: I worked on this car in 2001 and It hasn't been touched since. It was a project that was just to expensive for the class budget so lucky me!!!......it's a BIG project but for $150.00 I can't complain :unibrow:

don't pay any attention to the fender flares, I plan on having the rear quarters replace asap!! speaking of that, Does any one know of a reasonable body shop in the san bernardino/ Riverside California area that can replace them in a timely maner??

I want to go with a pro-touring look, a 383 stroker engine, 700r4 tranny, 9" ford rear end, upgraded brakes, suspension, and wheels. I like the stock look of the interior so i'll probably put it back stock. I want to paint it the same color as the orange 2007 corvette (but i'm sure that will change). I'll try to keep yall updated with my progress

You may want to try Pacific Paint and Body up in Hesperia. Dennis has painted a bunch of customer cars for us and does a great job - and not super expensive. I can get his number for you if interested.

Hey guys I finally sold my bug, now I can start on my camaro. I am getting married in June of 2008 so my progress will be slow until June but I'd rather it be slow than none at all.

I was wondering how should I tackle this project? I know there is more than one way to get it done but being that this is my first Muscle car I have no idea where to start. Any advice would be helpful.
