What a build Rich......what.....a.....build! That paint job is just out of this world as is the rest of the build. Excellent color and shine and detailing throughout man. You should be proud of this top shelf build brother. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/1623/cQDuSJ.gif)

Thank you TJ. Yes, it would be cool to have the car back. I tried searching for it, as it is a rare bird(272 Camaros built w/ L89 in 68). My father blew engine up for 2nd time in 1974. In 75, he sold it to his friend that turned it into a full time drag car. After that, it was lost.

Beautiful build, Rich. That red really pops outside. Thank you James. Yes, it pops. The car really was a looker( even though I’m not a Chevy guy). It also was an animal on the streets.

My aunt had a yellow 68 I basically grew up in. It was stolen when I was in high school and I was really upset for a while. I need ask her for photos.

Rich, Now that's one impressive Camaro. Love the paint and finish. And the engine compartment really looks the part.
