How long have you owned your Camaro?

[janobyte]

agree. Quite a few years ago when I debated changing colors that combination was in mind . Finally when all the stars aligned and I  had somewhat of a chance to tear into it I've decided to keep the original color. Not my favorite ,but it isthe car. Seeing the work done so far, I think I am going to be pleased with the color in "fresh"

I think it will look really nice.

68Z is that a green color ?

Yep, British Racing Green

Yep British

You green guys sure stick together

It's the color of the NW.  Although it used to be the fir trees, now it seems it's the cannabis.

You picked the one with the best color scheme - or the most popular color. Can't fool me -

Thanks steve glad you are coming around that corvette bronze is a better looking color than lemans blue.

Maybe so, but it took Chevrolet a half a year to get it right, and when they couldn't sell enough Corvette Bronze cars they discontinued it before it could be perfected. Seems like that happened with British Racing Green, too. Hmm -

Maybe I ought to repaint the '68 Z Lemans Blue - then it would be 3 Lemans vs. 1 Corvette Bronze - you think ?

It almost seems like LeMans Blue is turning into the next HO...

Man, that hurts just looking at it. Reminds me of a guy that had a 69 convertible here when I was stationed at Dover AFB. There is this one particular merge lane that is on the left where two main roads come into one and he tried to beat a tractor trailer into the bottle neck and the rear trailer wheel walked right up the left quarter from behind the wheel up on top of the quarter at the rear side window and right on the top edge of the driver door before he could move the car away. Now that was a mess. He said he was damn near into the passenger seat when he saw the wheel of the tractor face to face. Did a lot of damage. Never saw the car after that so I don't know if it was ever repaired.

Cook you basically saved that car from the junkyard man. One more stays on the road thanks to you! WTG . My friend had a 69 Cougar that got  t boned by a cement truck and looked like that on the outside, on the inside because it is unibody it flexed the body enough to yank the transmission tunnel into the number 7. We had no option but to cut it up, after we saved every vital piece.

I bought my Camaro in 1996. Like Gary said mine is unrestored too. it had one repaint in the early 80`s but still looks ok for it`s age. the car looks the same as when I bought it in 1996, lost the pics I had scanned so I don`t have any to post.

35 years for me. Man,it sure doesn't seem that long! The previous owners wife ran it into the back of a pop truck. Bent a frame horn back at a 90 degree angle and ruined the front sheetmetal. They kept it for a while and then decided not to fix it. It was just a used car back then. I only wish that I'd got there before they sold the engine/trans. Everything on the lot that it was at was going to be crushed,so I guess that I at least saved it! It was several years later that I figured out what it was,but by that time it was too late to track down the parts that were sold. Here is a photo after I started working on it. I put it in storage for a long time while Life stuff took over. I'm now trying to gather stuff to restore it correctly.
