plan to build pro-touring 68 Camaro
Hello from VA. I have owned my 68 Camaro since 1973. Drag raced it for years until I just got bored with drags. the car has been setting in my garage since 1986 and I think it is time to get it out and start enjoying it again. My early plans are to put a Hotchkis suspension under it. I am going for a 1968 CanAm style that will handle well enough to do some vintage racing.

Very cool. I drag race also, still love street / drag, but Pro Touring is so much more practical.

Tim,
I think a track day is definately in the cards in the future but I doubt I will have the car ready to run for awhile.
Frank,
I have been reading your posts and you sound like an extremely knowlegable builder. I have been doing a good deal of reading and the more I read the more confused I become. I really like the Art Morrison front and rear frame clips. Now I see they have a complete frame for the 1gen Camaro.

Cool Camaro! I did the drag racing for 14 years, got bored to. Started pro-touring about 3 years ago, I have had a ball the last 2 years auto crossing and hanging out with the guys at the events!
