Hi all I have been hanging out here the last few days. I can say with no sarchasm that I am a Camaros dude. I got my first Camaro in 1980. Its was a 74 type LT 4speed. I owned it from when I was 15 till I was 24 (got married had a kid) durring same that time I own a 72 and a 84 as daily drivers. My current ride is in my signature I will try to post some pics. I could use some help with posting pics.

I went to school for autos, pulled wrenchs at a GM dealership for 7 years. So I pertty good at the wreching parts but have limited bodyworking experence.

It is unrestored in it current condition. The car was painted and the engine was replaced in the 80s . I am trying to hone my body work skilles before I do touch it. I do still drive it in the summer months. I am restoring and old truck I found and have plans to paint several cars before attemping the Camaro. When I get to it, it will be a frame off restore with bolt on upgrades so the car can be returned to original.

BTW: I would like some opinions on: with or without the mags? Among my friends they seem split 50/50 RS rim vs the mags. I have both sets so switching is not a big deal.

My truck project:
Since my goal is to get better at body work I will be repairing as much as possible. The frame is covered in surface rust but to my surprise it is solid. I am the second owner and it has 60K on it. Its a pretty solid truck for 68 that spent it whole life as a farm truck in PA.
The day I pickup my truck:

Nice ride...I'd keep the rally wheels and just replace the center caps with a set of '67 flat 'disc brake' caps
