Project First Car (68 Camaro)

[paulgurley]

First off i'd like to say thanks to everyone on the forum for all their knowledge and help! I learn a lot from everyones builds and knowledge.



Quick Story
I bought this car about 4 years ago when I was 15. (I wish i had the pic because I was like 5' 2'' and now I'm 6' 3'' but i can't find it) My dad is a general contractor and i worked for him every summer since i can remember and saved my money for something good. so i got my dream car (well almost) this 68 Camaro and bought it for $3800 bucks. I split it with my dad and it sat for awhile until i had more money to fix it up. this was the first car i bought but i didn't drive it till I was 18. I drove a 91 F-150 my grandpa gave me in the mean time.

I've been on here for awhile and only posted a few things and my car is very low budget so it will be a slow build, but i love my camaro and the pro-touring movement and i would really like to get involved and hope to learn ALOT with some help from members on here

I had my engine, trans and rear end built by my dads friend Craig http://craigshighperformance.com/ but i was too busy with baseball to be involved in that part of the build so i didn't learn anything
350 small block
turbo 400 trans
10 bolt posi 4.11 gears

now i'm done with baseball and just work and go to school. So i have plenty of time for my car
which leads me to my build.

DSE mini tub
ridetech 4 link with single adjustable coilovers.

I did the mini tub with the help of my dad and wow it is a ton of work but totally worth it!

Heres how my car sits now, it drives completely different its a whole new car and I'd like to say thanks to DSE and ridetech for engineering such great products!
