68 camaro a mix of old and new

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

Ok so this is also one of my own personal projects that i have been messing with it is an original 6 cyl car with 3 spd and rare center consul but boy o boyy do i have plans

Im doing a 68 ss clone build with some very rare and cool old performance parts

stay tuned and watch how she comes along

Im thinking sbc low and very mean with 3 spd and a slick paint job and spoilers
and a cowl hood
AND ITS GOTTA BE RED!!!!!
with the black nose stripe and blacked tail pannel

ok and i managed to pick up some boss 338s for it i mean seriously what dont they look good on?

i love the wheels just gotta lower this car
also scored some dunlop run flats $1600 worth of tires for 200

and all the sheet metal on this car is gm that you see and all new the quarters
the tail pan the deck lid and the otter wheel houses

Ive also got a 12 bolt lying around for this car too that will have to go in soon with 5 leafs and its a correct 68 rear but on the flip side I think im gonna pull the 3.31s to run a 3.08

so now knowing that a 6 cyl car also needs different mounts i ordered some
and put in my test motor to see how it was going to do

also i decided i wanted an 11in clutch why? idk just to have it so i had to search for a bellhousing but i test fitted everything and i dont see any problems

and yes its a 355 sbc sy1 crossram and new school valve covers
and it looks soooo good and big
it also has 292 angle plug heads that fit the headers so i will run them too

then the pics of the rebuild of the 355

the ceramic headers fit very well too just need to find some short water pump brackets to mount the power steering

and i have to run a cowl for that intake what does everyone think? it just seems the parts fit and look good

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

so i decided my rebuild might come out because i used chrome rings with the build and i know they are hell to seat properly and i might change the cam also but i ran the 500lift summit grind but im thinkin the 305h comp cam like i had in my truck

also i got the summit exhaust kit and thrush mufflers the welded one cause they sound sooooooo good and they arent too bad on your wallet

and a video

i got all the stainless brake lines done on the car just gotta find a cable for the parking brake

also some pics of the interior and with the front clip on
but i ended up selling the gm fenders and buying aftermarket ones
and i have to go pick them up this weekend from big tonys chevelle
i have the spoilers
gas tank and cap
a cowl hood
2 front fenders
and a battery tray

i still need all the glass and to block the car with the body panels on the car
and to buy a bunch more parts
but its moving along really well

The car looks great! you have done alot of work. Keep the pics coming and more importantly keep the progress coming!

[chevyrestoguy]

Awesome!!! I LOVE the 67-69 Camaros!

I'll definitely tune in for this build.

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

ok so i got the sheetmetal for the car today and its amd!!!!!

i think it fits rather well counting i had gm fenders on the car and now these it lines up pretty well
just have to tweak the fenders where they meet the doors and the cowl hood fits great too too bad i still have to get some more parts they are being kinda slow at big tonys

But i cant complain it looks like a car again

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

so here are some pics of the car now

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

im really getting excited about this one
its gonna be a very nice car
this is my first ever frame off car

and a pic of the ding that has to be fixed on the passenger side

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

and a couple more

and AMD is awesome the fit is soooo good

[Ridnhi]

Things are looking good! I have to buy a new passenger fender for my car, and I wasn't sure who to go through to buy one that fit well. Are you happy with the fit of the fenders? And how much were they?

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

they are awesome they are honestly the same or better than the gm fenders i had on the car but i sold them to buy more parts and i mean all the lines fit very nice

now ive heard rumors of other company's but AMD is awesome and i think they were 239

[Frizzle Fry]

Looking good!

I've never heard of AMD, who sells them? I've been looking at National Parts Depot to get all of my metal, been recommended by a lot of people, but I'm not sure what "brands" they carry.

Also curious as to why you swapped out the stockers for aftermarket? Rust?

Car looks awesome. I'm collecting parts for my rust bucket 67 firebird. The floor and back half of the car will be all aftermarket except the deck lid. I was able to find solid doors and fenders after a few trips to the Charlotte Autofair.

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

haha the car had on brand new gm nos fenders i just decided i could sell them and buy more parts and there was nothing wrong with them just too much for my car since im gonna drive it

and AMD is carried by a lot of people but i know for these camaros the front end sheetmetal is right on the money and i would recommend them to anyone
and you can see how nice they fit with only messing with them 10 mins to get the parts out of the floor

[67ChevyRedneck]

Thanks. Yeah, I can understand that! NOS stuff for these cars is nuts! I wish my car was as far along as yours. I haven't even started my tear down yet.

I also checked out their website. They're only about 2 hours from me. They imply that their parts are US produced but I couldn't find anywhere where they state that. Their prices are competitive with NPD, a little higher, but competitive. hmmmmmmmmmm...

Love it!!!!! keep it up
