Default Graham Restore (Pics)

Hello, new to forum, as well as Camaros. We found a decent project car and will make this the official thread for its restoration. Its a 1968, it has a 350 from a early '80s car, hydramatic tranny, 12 bolt rear end. Found it on ebay and bought it sight unseen. :/
Here's what we got: (I'll switch to using image files on photobucket tomorrow)

Nice car, looks prety solid. Good luck with the restoration and have as much fan as you possibly can. I am starting my resto project today, just got the sheet metal yesterday. I will be posting pictures by the weekend.

Thanks aperjo, a couple areas were a little disappointing, the floorboards and right rear quarter both need to be replaced.
Heres about what it looks like now.

One floorboard has been cut out, a rusted out spot below the windshield has been repaired with new sheetmetal and the engine was fired up. The engine will have to come out for a thorough media blast. I'll have a few more pictures tomorrow. What year is yours aperjo?

I'll tell you man, the more digging you do, the more problems you'll find. Are you wanting custom or just a restore?

Your right about that Bravo. It'll be just a restore to get her up and running for the most part. Probably do some work to the motor, which is coming out today or tomorrow. more pictures soon.
