As most of you know, I have been on the forum for some time and I bet it seems that even though a lot of you hear me talking about the '68 Camaro I'm building, I've never posted any pictures of it. Well here are a few. What I'm excited about is ( and I know it's nothing for some of you, but a milestone for me!)

I recently finished building my rotisserie, and I now have the Camaro body on it. Like I said, not much for some of you but I'm stoked!..
Below are some of the pictures I took and I tried to show how I built the rotisserie.

Yes, Andrew McB, I used the ride on the bench, but finally blew a back tire. lol.....

I will send more pics later, I just have quite a bunch of them I think it would save space here if I just did a path to Photobucket after I get them posted there, that and after I figure out how. Any way on with a few pics. Let me know what you think!

Well, not really the rotisserie but a dusty subframe.

This one kinda shows how the rotisserie is hooked to the frame where the spring hangers go...

And yes, I got two of them too big. (I'm surprised I got them in here at all) If the moderators want to they can delete those two and I'll try again....

I meant for this one to get into the first batch but it didn't make it so here it is.....Just another shot of how the rear end is bolted to the spring hangers.
I got the plans for this rotisserie off the internet and revised it to fit my needs. Didn't steal the plans they were for anyone who wanted them, and with a complete materials list, and photos of the build.

Believe it or not the car has come a long way. I have replaced every single body panel on this thing, from the top, full floor pan, full GM quarters, deck lid, inner fenders, outer fenders, dash (top, not whole thing), front valance, header, going with a cowl hood, rear tail light panel, panel below rear window, inner rear wheel wells, rockers, too much to list. I will definately be glad when it's finished.
Andrew, are you coming up for Christmas?
