Shell back from paint
I hope everyone is not tired of red, mini-tubbed 69 camaros. Its coming home for assembly and I wanted to show everyone what happens after a couple of years of hanging around this site. What was originally going to be a basic driver turned into a rotissorie, complete pro-touring build. Sorry about the size of the pictures, I didn't realize they would be this large.

If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!

Looks like you hit that roll bar with black after you got the shell in color. That must have been a ton of masking and taping.
Looks great though. I don't know that there are too many red mini-tubbed '69's. Scott Gulbranson's is the only other one I know of. Unless The Thrasher is mini-tubbed, which I have no idea.
Nice job. Keep us posted.1968 Pro-Touring Camaro LS1

Now, put it slowly together.

red was first
Thank you for all the complements! The red ( 2004 gm torch red ppg ) was done first, then the roll bar. Actually the floors, trunk. inner fenders, etc were done first on the rotissorie in red tinted bed liner type material. The outer shell was done next, then the dash and last the roll bar. I'm not sure the reason for the order but thats how the painter did it. It still needs to be polished after assembly, but I am very happy with the results. We did a few things I haven't seen before like weld up the glove box and ash tray on the dash so we have one flat panel. Also added plates above the DSE subframe connectors in the rear seat foot well so the carpet will lay flat with out the humps. I was fortunate to find an original southwest car so all metal is original and we had a pretty good starting point.

Sweet! I'm doing mine in PPG Hot Red. I was very torn between Torch and Hot.

Torch and victory red the same?
Does anyone know if the color on the chevy trucks called Victory red is the same as the corvette torch red? They seem very similar, but I have not seem them side by side on actual vehicles.
