1967 camaro restoration
 
I am going to post some pictures of my project and if there is some interest I'll post more. The car is a 1967 SS 396/325 4sp posi car with all matching #'s and date coded parts. The car also retains its original sheetmetal. The car is loaded with documentation including GM of Canada paperwork from George Zapora. The car wasn't quite what I wanted at the time, but it was too good of a car to let go. Now i love it. Enjoy.

I always liked the '67 BB Camaro because of that great 396 emblem on the fenders. It mezmerized me from an early age and when I was able to finally buy a '67 BB Camaro I jumped at the chance. Good luck with yours Matthew and post more pics!

Joey Heatherton's father, Ray Heatherton was NY channel 11's Merry Mailman for 20 years. Joey would sing the theme song - "Here comes the Merry Mailman "
When I was a kid this was a must see program - but then again there were only 6 channels!

Hey Ken, I was trying to keep it clean around here! Jeez!

Joey was a fox though. I remember her "Ace is the place" TV commercials back in the 80s.

Thanks for the positive comments and no the car isn't done yet. I have to finish the front sheetmetal and wiring. Another buff and install the trim. It is crowded in the garage during winter, so I may not finish until spring. I have a ton of picutres if there is anything specific someone would want to see let me know.

Very very nice and love the firewall cut, thank you for not using tape to break the firewall overspray. I think a good restoration is not only for the eyes but for the touch.

turbojet427 01-09-2008 09:08 PM

Re: 1967 camaro restoration
 
Thanks. This is the first time my dad and I have done a car this way. Usually we are hot rodding them instead of restoring them. It does take the right touch and attention to detail to do a restoration right. Just a little slacking can cause a restoration to look poor quickly.
