Who buit it or who I need to thank I would like to thank my Father, girlfriend, and the multitude of friends who have helped me build this car from a rolling body. The car has been to a shop twice, once to charge the A/C, and once for alignment. All other work has been performed by my family, friends, girlfriend (Bless her heart), and I.

A little about my ride The car was purchased by me at the age of 15 in 2009 as a rolling chassis with all new sheet metal on it from Goodmark. A friend of mine heard I was looking for a car to build and told me that his cousin had a '68 camaro RS 6 cyl car in pieces in his garage that had been sitting at least 4 yrs. I called the man and later made the deal. Since then, the car has been frame-off restored and many upgrades added.
