  • Today I brought home a really really ratty 1968 Chevy Camaro. I bought this car almost 3 years ago and this was the first time I truly looked it over. This car looks really rough but came with an absolute PILE of spare parts.
    This car ain't a keeper though.

    Great project and vision Dan! I completely get it. Someone is going to get a solid car that they can build the way they want it. You get rid of more "Stuff" and put some change in the bank towards the new property. It's a win win for everybody, especially us fans that get to watch! Keep on keeping on!

    What's good about making it running and driving to me is that someone can do some small things to make sure it's safe and drive it while they work on it.Then during the winter they do anything they want to change that the car that will make it be down for a while.

      And as usual he'll forget to go back to cover the motor and it'll rain IN it. I think he's notorious for leaving things almost done and not remembering to go back to finish one little thing. And letting stuff sitting on covered in the rain and snow.

Thanks again for talking us along getting to old now glad to see a few people who have no fear to tackle jobs like this camero .most people worry more about it and end up talking themselves out of a nice project car . Side note if you don't know how to work on a car be a good helper and help someone who knows how to and be very respectful or go back to a technical school

Used a lot of Fast Etch and scotchbrite pads to remove the rust. I shot the entire car in black epoxy primer and some day I'll get around to the paint. I spent a couple of years piecing it back together to make a driver out of it.
