great pics of a really nice car. I know I have never seen this color in person on a camro unless at best if was used on a 68 vette.

In some of your pictures years back, you show a front tire that looks like a blue streak radial on the correct wheels, and the tires looks really cool, no rounded edges. Can you share more on those tires? I am having issues myself pulling the trigger on ordering goodyear E70 -15 tires for my 68/z (not wanting to wait that long).

great thread!

Mondays work on the Camaro, found some prior damage on the left rear QP. Mark is an amazing fabricator and will make a replacement piece.










I am pretty pleased with the condition of what’s been found so far. A few spots on the rear wheel lips , minor dents in a few places, otherwise a solid car.

These are Goodyear Blue Streak police Radials 215-70-15 on Camaro 15x7 wheels. 3 are NOS and 4 are barely used. This size was used on Dodge Diplomat police cars. I had 2 sets of these in the 70’s and they are a fantastic tire. Kelsey is using these molds to do their new Polyglass Radial look alike. Only one size is available right noe and that is FR70-14.
I am restoring a 1978 Chev Nova 9C1 police car and that is what these are for. Right now they are shop rollers.

Should have included this engine,sub frame earlier. Rebuilt correct date coded MO block, all components are date coded between Jan 9 (distributor and Alternator) Water pump, fuel pump and starting motor are Mar. Carb is April 2, Block is Mar 23 and Heads are late Feb casting, trans is Feb 1968. I have all the smog stuff but decided to stick with headers.

thanks on the tire info, they do look good, just some white paint on the goodyear font and they look good to me!! way too nice to be rollers. Wish I had a set.

Again, looks like your car is coming along great. I got ziebart tar stuff all over my 68z, engine compartment, underbody. WD40 seems to take it off without damage, slow process.

Thursday Feb 2 shop update. All the paint is now off and prev minor damage has been corrected to todays restoration standards.
Rear valance had a crease and was fixed with filler. Mark has re worked the metal back to O filler needed.




Super clean quarter panel.





This may be all until next week, next steps will be hood and trunk panels, valances and header panel.

Why did you remove the lead from the 1/4 seams?

Old lead,might react to modern fillers and or paints.

This week, metal finishing wrapped up, mysterious dent in room massaged out.



Right quarter in DTM, very straight.



Roof was scrapped with a razor blade, anybody need a cup of dried Corvette Bronze
