I wish I had some Pilot stuff to post but unfortunately i'm still Pilotless. lol..
After selling the Blue 67 Camaro in February I started looking for a new project. What can I say but I like early Camaros, so I focused on trying to find another 67-69 to build. Since they arent exactly falling out of trees around here it took me a few months to find one in my price range. On June 2nd I made an 800 mile round trip into Colorado to drag home a 68 that would be my next restoration victim.
It was a craigs list find and when I went to the DMV to try and transfer the title I was informed my title was no good as it wasn't the most recent & that it was titled in Alabama.
Anyway to shorten a very long ugly ordeal after 2 months of fighting with the DMV I still had no title.
Well I needed a project car so on August 22nd I found this little jewel up in Steve's neck of the woods. It was "barn find" lol.. literally was parked in a small barn and hadn't ran in over 15 years.
I drug it home and pulled & cleaned the gas tank, installed a new battery and some fresh gas and it fired right up and sounds pretty good.
I had to install partials in all 4 fenders to remove the rust and clean up some prior poor body work from the 3 previous paint jobs but all in all it was a pretty clean little car.
I struggled back & forth on if I should have kept the Vinyl top or not and the plan was to shoot it in LeMans Blue right up until I was at the paint store buying the color.
I tried to shoot it yesterday, but the wind kicked up too much to continue, so I got up early this morning and shot the clear.. I should be able too sand & buff out any dust & hopefully it will look pretty good..
Hope to wrap this thing up in the coming weeks and send it down the road.. .
Now here's the crazy thing.. about a week after I drug this POS home, I was finally able to get a clean NM title on the 68.
