Re: Steve "Big" 's 68 Camaro
Thank you all for the positive comments!
To comment on Woj’s post… I was on my way to a car show in Solon Oh on a Tuesday night. Along the way, there was an accident and traffic had to be directed down a residential side street. Well, traffic was bumper to bumper in the opposite lane and my lane was wide open so I was moving . Just as I was approaching a semi in the other lane, he clipped some low power lines….they landed on my car. It was like being in a cable car with the lines laying right down the middle of my car at 35 mph. Then they bull whipped off the driver side and took the paint off the left front. Thankfully my just restored/dated remote mirror was safe from harm. Insurance was a fight, nobody was to blame….soooo time to rip the car apart. While debating how to proceed with a repaint, I decided to go all out and use up some NOS sheet metal I acquired. I had an entire NOS clip on it already, so I added a full set of quarters, outer well houses, and get this… rockers (at least the last 20” or so). I was in luck that the sheet metal was all old old stock. The quarters were dated very close to mine (digit off) and the rest had dates that fell into the approx. build date frame as well. I had a good guy (Danny & Jim) at Flatline Custom do the paint work and work with me on the sheet metal and putting things back as GM did. The pics I took were at an old Junk yard that had recently closed and was up for sale. I usually pass it daily and always picture some old cars out front. Well finally I made time and headed up there at 6 am on a Sunday to wait for the good light to come in…. It must have been 95` and humid…LOL I love driving this car, the "Day two" power are like a time machine. Crank up some tunes, mash the pedal and keep it straight! BIG |

Cool car, great looking color combo. I've never seen a Chevrolet tissue dispenser. Must have come in handy when a guy had to have the 'its not you, its me' talk.

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img] I always like to say it's for the driver in the other lane after a stop light duel... I've found that accessories are some of the things people enjoy seeing at car shows. It's amazing how many items Chevrolet had to offer back then. Here are some more pics .. BIG |
