1968 Camaro
This 1968 convertible Camaro came in the shop with 31,000 original miles.
The customer’s father had passed away and was doing this car over so he can drive his mom around and they actually live in North Carolina.
It was a very clean car and had a paint job when it came in, but not the greatest.
So we opted to strip it down and did a nice base coat clear coat job on it.
We pulled the carpets out of the car and did some work on the window regulators for the rear quarter glass and we cleaned up the floors and undercoated the floors. After that, we put a brand new carpet kit in.
We decided to leave the original door panels and seats in because they didn’t have any rips and they were a pretty good shape.
The car had a white top so it’s a white 327 automatic and we decided that we were going to go with some 15-inch wheels and tires so we picked out a nice set of American Racing aluminum polish rims to give it the old hot rod look from I’d say the 80s.
We went with a dual stainless steel exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers.
The car got brand new door gaskets, hood insulator, grill, all the emblems, the park lights and taillights, and gaskets.
The convertible top was in pretty decent shape as well.
All-in-all, this was a 3/4 restoration, which means that the car as a whole was very decent, and we would not replace or tear apart something unless extremely necessary.
Here is a video of the completed restoration 6/14/18
