Hey everyone,
I've scrolled through these message boards for a little while now, I figured it time that I actually register. I'm in central Ohio, I have a basket case 1968 Camaro SS that I've owned since 2009. I know the previous owner, and as the pictures indicate, this car has had a ROUGH life, but at the time, the deal was too good to pass up. Just this past fall, I moved the car out of our barn to wash it down and get it ready to continue the progress I started back in 2010, when I removed the interior, the hood, front bumper, and the engine that was in the car was a Buick Skylark six cylinder and the front grille was made out of a box fan :rolleyes:.
I'm still not totally sure of the direction I want to go with the car, but I would like to incorporate some pro touring aspects. I've gotten my feet wet working on cars with my 1987 Buick Regal turbo T, but I haven't done anything nearly as extensive as what this will require. I have an air compressor, some basic pneumatic tools, a mig welder, and space to work on this car, all I need now is the knowledge and experience! I'm kind of stuck as to where I need to go next with the car, I know I'll have to brace the body before I remove the glass and take it off of the subframe, and I think my first steps should be new floor, new trunk, and minitubs. Sorry for the long post, I look forward to making some progress and learning as much as I can.
