I came across a bunch of old slides (most pre-restoration) and had them converted to digital. The attached is the VERY first car I ever restored for a customer and was in 1978 when I was just 17. A 1967 RS 327 Camaro. I did the engine compartment and some minor interior and exterior clean ups. That is my dad in the photo reminding me whose garage I was using for my new 'business' and the fact that HIS car was outside. Note the "ME" on the passenger cylinder head denoting the 210 hp 327 and is a factory marking.

Thanks to Paul Cavaseno for inverting the photos for me.
