Hey Fellas -

Been reading and asking a few questions but this is the introduction post.

Recently acquired a 1968 Camaro that is mostly finished; however, I will be looking to swap some things out and will be asking for some advice. Previous owner dubbed it Ovr-Kll and I will keep that name moving forward as I find it fitting.

Last 'classic' I had was a '66 Mustang with a 347 Stroker. Sold that and have been tracking a GTR Pro and a GT500 for the last few years. Sold the Pro with 32,000km on it and wanted to move back into something older.

I looked at a number of cars and this one just ended up speaking to me. Photos and alleged parts list below.

This car has mostly been sitting since 2014. That is when the batteries were last swapped out - ordered some new ones today. It was trailered to a few shows but the engine hasn't been broken in - sub 500km. The previous owner has been great to talk with and through in a bunch of parts including a full NOS kit that scares the &%& out of me.
