"68 Camaro RS"     1968 Chevrolet Camaro

Introduction / Overview:

Seen the car when I was nine years old in my dad's upholstery shop getting a vinyl top. I swore one day I would own it, and here it is. This is proof you can have what you want if you are willing to work for it.

A few years ago while working on a customers car I had to leave it out in my driveway over night. (insert the uh oh here) I was careful to park it close to the garage door and block it in with my suburban. I was not realy worried because I thought I lived in a nice neighborhood... I woke uo to a huge swastika scrached deeply into the decklid!!!!!!!! ouch!That one hurt. I was crushed the pait job I spent countless hours working on was ruined by one jackass. I was so upset being show season and not having any $$ to get it fixed I just parked it. I kinda lost intrest in driving it and it sat around for a long time. Kids and work have had it on the back burrner for a long time. The return to its glorry is long overdue so I have moved it back into the garage and it will be the center peice for my shop. I will keep you all posted on the rebuild. Thanks for reading.
