"New" from Iowa

Long time reader of the forum. Just never big on posting. Guess I got to participate more to get full access back.

Owned a 68 camaro project for a couple years now. Hoping to have it on road this summer.

Pic from when I first bought it. Original owner was apparently more into the gasser/safari look than pro-touring.

In keeping with original 327 engine I decided to swap in a 5.3L LC9 out of a Silverado backed by a T56. Engine has TSP head cam package but otherwise junkyard stock.

Black 88 Camaro in background was my first car some 20 years ago. Got an l76 out of a G8 waiting to go into that next.

Car will sit a bit lower now on a Speedtech/ Global West suspension. Nothing fancy just drop leafs out back and tubular control arms and ATS spindles up front.
