another rusty 68 Camaro in Florida - Lateral-g Forums

I've been a big fan of this site for about a year. I figured it was about time to finally introduce myself.
My name is Rick Coleman and I live in Lakeland Florida.
Bought a "restored" 68 Camaro in 2008 and decided that sitting in a lawn chair at local car shows was not fun anymore and decided to do something different with the car. I decided to transform the car into a Pro Touring car.
Took it to media blast hoping the car would need minimal metal work.

The only piece of metal that has not been replaced is the A-Pillars..

My wife is still wondering why I ruined a perfectly beautiful 68 Camaro..

Ouch! Welcome to the site, Rick. Sorry to hear the car wasn't so nice underneath the shiny paint. Hope it's moving along nicely for you now though. Good luck.
