'68 Camaro z/28 (clone) - project RATBRTH

[option]

Just Google "Penske Camaro" and you will see the likeness of your uncles car to the Penske Sunoco theme that they ran on multiple different Camaros. I think if you're going to do a tribute to your uncles car you should go all the way. Blue body with Yellow Boze Wheels. I like the black paint black wheel look as much as you do but I think you should make a modern refined version of the car in the photo. It's up to you man, just my opinion. Good luck.

.. and I did just that! I've spent the last few days on and off reading and watching videos. Funny that all these years I never really came across that kind of info. I am absolutely in love with the sound of those cars and they seemed far beyond their years at the time. Really cool info and I can now see what he did to replicate those cars. Funny that I've purchased a clone only to find out his was one too.

I agree with you 100%. My original plan was to replicate his car with a NEW Camaro, actually. Then I decided I saw far too many of them on the road and I lost interest simply due to the volume of them I see. Nothing quite like original F-body lines IMHO. The only reason, aside from black being my favorite on most cars, is that the last time I ever spoke with him he had decided to paint the car black and change the look. So I've tossed and turned over which decision will bring me the most satisfaction. Bring that car back to life my own way, or finish what he couldn't. Sure would be neat to have PT version of a Trans Am car though.



Maybe I should meet it all halfway and do a black car with yellow wheels, lol! Thank you a lot for your thoughts Casey.
