Title: Anutha Newbie to the site.
Post by: AUSCAMARO on May 25, 2010, 11:50:13 AM
Hi all, heard about the site from another forum and thought i'd drop i and say hi...

There may be a few new members shortly as we hadn't heard of this site previously...

I have a 68 Camaro that is undergoing a rebuild at the moment. Not as intensive or as custom as Chris's (cluxford) but it's mine all the same :smile: It's a 350 T350 factory V8 Deluxe Coupe with a 10 bolt non posi..

Currently it's sitting in the new shed awaiting some more loving. I have already completed the panel and paint including new floors etc...

Now I just have to find some more time and money to piece it back together.

When I first got it.

Things went on hold for a while as funds were directed to building a new shed as the double garage just wasn't cutting it anymore...plus the Mrs was about to pop out our 2nd child.

In the new shed... Built the shed 4.2m tall so I can put a hoist in..

Most recently the hood lining went back in and a new front screen was fitted a couple of weeks ago.

It's Blood Orange from the BA/BF range..

She'll still be in a state of restoration for a good while to come yet i'd imagine. Too many other projects and things to do first..

Welcome Mitch!
What was wrong with the black? It looks pretty sharp on the photos.

Good from afar, but far from good.. unfortunately... We were originally looking at keeping it black, but alas decided for something a bit different...

You'll be happy to know Heven67... It looks quite red in the shade and very bright and vibrant in the sun...
