Default Grandfather's 68 SS Camaro.

This seems like a good place to introduce myself. I'm Joe. I'm 15 and have grown up a total gearhead. I'm completely in love with Day 2 cars and 70's Street Machines/Street Freaks.

Here's my grandfather's 1968 Camaro SS396 ( I believe it's genuine, but we don't have the protect-o-plate.)

396.
TH400 (Still has clutch pedal in it)
Edelbrock C427X (Best way to get the gunk off?) topped by a Holley 750 Vacuum secondary.
MSD HEI ignition.
Headers and Flowmasters.
Chevy Power Valve covers (how rare are these? Google'd them but can't find any info on them, never seen another pair)
Sun Super Tach and Oil PSI gauge (If you have a blue line water temp gauge (mechanical ONLY, this car overheats, need the accuracy,) let me know)
Slapper bars and Airshocks.
Electric fans.
Clearly, It's pretty Day 2 apart from the MSD ignition and Flowmasters (and the radial tires).

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
