My Weekend Warrior P.T. 68 Camaro Project
I've been lurking on this site for awhile now, thought it's about time I give a little input. A little background : This was my first car I pick up back in 1979. At that time I had very limited knowledge and resources, so just trying to keep it running was a big ordeal. The car sat and hasn't ran since 1985. I have always dreamed that someday I'll be able to built this car the way I wanted to. So about 3 years ago my buddy shows up at my house and tells me that he has a flatbed on the way to take the car to the body shop. So looks like that day has come !
Dennis and the crew at Foreign Motors Body Shop did all the metal repairs and body work :

When the body shop was done my buddy Scott from S.M.R. came and transported the car to his shop to do the suspension and chassis work. I went with Alston's Chassisworks front and rear protouring suspension, front sub-frame, and mini tubs :

My original plan was to go with a LT5 crate engine, then a friend told me about a deal Nelson Racing Engines had posted. I've always been a fan of N.R.E. but their engines had always been out of reach for me. But now it's within reach so I ran down and ordered it, Nelson 427 LS :
