I'm back in the game... a 68 Camaro.. again
 

Well I am glad to be back in the sea of Camaros. After being forced to sell my previous 68 earlier this year, I was able to get back into a position to get another one, albeit much more tame! But I like it that way this time.

I learned a lot from the past build about myself, shops, estimates, priorities, etc... and I think that's a great thing to have gone through now in hindsight. Have a few minor things I want to add or change to this car but otherwise will get to know it as is and go from there.

Well, enough talking.. here are the details and pics from today's maiden voyage. Bought the car in Modesto and drove it about 60 miles back to my new storage unit/shop in Dublin.

car looks serious and straight to the point...:cool:

The car is SICk, I love it.

Needs wheels/tires QUICK!

Good looking car otherwise

You my friend have a disease.hilarious

Looks great. Enjoy in good health.

Congrats on the Camaro! Awesome ride you picked up, you will forget about the Porsche in no time. Are you using it as your daily driver?

I agree.
:)
Thanks man!

I wouldn't necessarily say NEEDS or QUICK, but they are okay for now. They at least match the overall theme. I have bigger things to tackle with this car first.

Eric, this is true! hilarious
Thanks for the words buddy.

Hey thanks Mike. You are right - the Porsche is gone and now it's just me and my domestics... this for the fun and weekends and my Crown Vicky cop car for the DD. It's a real hoot. :D

Very nice. One of my favorite styles. A friend of mine had a few 69 SS's

Great looking car. I do agree those wheels need to go though. lol

Congrats on the pruchase, now lets hear some lap times!!!
