Just bought my first muscle car. 1968 Camaro, resto. I'm in my early 30's w a young family, and have wanted one for a long time, finally got up the nerve to pull the trigger. I get it delivered in a week or so and I cannot wait.
Not sure what to expect, but looking forward to working on it. Its not a show car, but one I want to drive a lot in the summer for fun. Its been mostly re-done and very driver friendly. Great looking, no body work necessary, but I'm going to make the inside a little more classic. Currently has bucket seats and a new radio, etc I am going to put "retro" radio in w/ am/fm/cd and probably original seats, and a retro steering wheel.

Car has 15" cragar's on it now, but i think i'm going to put 17's on there asap as i love the look of them.

Any advice is appreciated, i'm an admitted novice, know enough about cars, but need all help! thanks for having this site, already been so helpful!
