Where to start...68 Camaro

[SSinister68]

There is a lot of good restoration threads over on camaros.net that will walk you through rust repair, panel replacement etc.

Thanks! I've been a member over there for years...I'll start digging in.

Do the body first (I'd do mini-tubs just for future flexibility)- DO NOT start buying mechanical parts, that includes brakes, trans, engine, rear, subframe, etc. By the time you get done with the body, you'll have had time to figure out what you want. YMMV.

Thank you, good advice. Definitely agree on doing the mini-tubs. Might as well while the trunk and quarters are going to need work anyways.

I think the OP Travis, realized you think of a budget, then the X2 is waaaay lite. Building a full suspension autoX type car,
add x4 or x5 to your budget. If you spend 3 years building your car, you’ll need to start over because all that stuff you bought years ago is out of date old school Craigslist penny’s on the dollar junk.



If you can’t finish in 3-4 yrs max !
Don’t start. go to the dealership and buy a car, you can’t afford this hobby. Like me.
Help me, I’m poor :(

Lol.

Hahaha, yeah, I know it would love to take all of the money I have. If I could just do the bodywork over the span of a couple years, it would give me time to save up more for the suspension and mechanical goodies (hopefully).
