Project: Camaro 68' P/T Muscle
I bought my 68' roller mid Feb from socal and it finally got delivered last week. It got held up in customs for a few weeks at my local port, so it's been a long wait. Been wanting to build a 1st gen for years, and couldn't resist this one when it came up. The plan is to build a cool car inspired by the Pro-touring scene going on over there in the US. We don't have anything like it over here (New Zealand), but what we do have is miles and miles of fantastic country roads tailor made for a Pro-Touring car. Take a look at the image below, this road is 2 mins from my home and a good friend of mine lives about 40 miles up the road towards the mountains.
I'm in the process of tearing it down and preparing it for the build. It's coming up pretty clean, small pockets of rust and a few dings. Hope to get it built in about 18-20 months.
Build plan at the moment:
Ls1/2 6sp
Ridetech Level 1 front & rear with tru turn
dse brake booster
Wilwwod brakes
TMI Interior
Arrow Wheels? NZ made 3 piece wheels. (had them on my last car)
RS light package
Anyway that's the plan, only time and money and it I'll be done.
Cheers
