Hello everyone,

I got myself in a bit of a doozie, I got myself a 68' Camaro, and the only thing left of it is the unibody and the panels, (no subframe, axle, engine, etc) nothing. The question I have for everyone is l, how would I end up starting cleaning the unibody. And what I will need to start the work on cleaning it, I currently do not have the vehicle in my position due to the weather conditions. Also, are there any reliable companies, or sites I could look for any parts and tools to purchase.

 

It all depends on what you are going to do with the car Your knowledge.Skill and your pocket books.There are books like a factory assembly manual as well .I would also join a local club as well .Good luck to you

 

I've been thinking of doing a base build, I did find a few books that'll help. More or less getting the unibody prepped and cleaned will be a pain.

 

Like mentioned, the Factory Assembly Manual is a good book to have and Body by Fisher is another good one.
Again, like mentioned, what is the budget, can you have things blasted and taken down to bare metal, or do you need to use a wire wheel and grinder?
Do you have the room for a rotisserie or do you need to lift it up on blocks?
I did all my work in a small garage, working off of the floor, but my buddy has a nice shop with a lift and that would have made my life a lot easier.
It all depends on you and what you have, your budget and experience.
As for tools, Eastwood is a good company for automotive type body tools, Summit racing has some and I have been known to buy stuff at Harbor Freight, mainly for tools that I might just use on this one project.
As for parts, there are a lot of Camaro suppliers out there, so take your pick. I have used Classic Industries, Rick's, D&R, Year One with no issues.
Summit Racing and Jegs are even selling classic car parts as well.
Good luck with your project.
