      Mizzouri's 68 Camaro build

      So there I was fat, dumb, and happy last fall when a friend of mine (Joe) with a 99 Z28 called me and told me that the car hadn't started in a year and he wanted it gone so he could move on to a newer Z06. I had it towed home and to our surprise it turned out to be a corroded battery cable. Since he had already parted with the car mentally he turned down my offer to take it back for the sale price. Continuing on in this fat, dumb, and happy life I mentioned to another friend (Brad) that what I really wanted was a classic to drop in the drivetrain from the 99. As it so happened he knew a guy who had a 68 Camaro for sale that needed some TLC. I stopped by one afternoon in February to take a look. Boy did this thing need TLC! Something inside said 'Perfect!' (remember the dumb from fat and happy!) and it came home with me within days. So it has sat in my garage until last weekend when Brad, Kirk, and Paul came over to get this project going. From the time I purchased this car I have been researching builds on this site and have purchased the following to go in the car, to which I'll take pictures along the way and attempt to add insite for others.

      The plan is to make the car in to a daily driver and take over the Autocross duties from the 2k WS6 that I (poorly) campaign here in KC.
      Parts purchased and going in:

      Speedtech motor mounts, body bushings, and trans crossmember
      SW headers
      PSI Conversions harness and computer
      6cyl gas pedal from Firewheel Classics
      Tanks Inc.....you guessd it...gas tank
      Vintage Works 1968 gauges - these are a thing of beauty!
      AutoKraft oil pan

      I'm not shy so there will be a section detailing my expenses along this projected 3 year journey. So stay tuned and feel free to offer respectful opinion and thought.
