This is a 1968 Camaro that I just purchased last week.

It just happened to be a twin of My 2010 SIM Camaro.

Enjoy the pics.

Nice pick there Eric!! Cool! Man I need to finish up on the '10 so I can get back on my '69, then we can hit the shows together with our pairs!

That is a VERY NICE addition to your collection.

I want to advise you to remove and toss that gas filter in the trash. I used to run one like that on my '69 and they are a REAL hazard. The problem I experienced was when I parked it for a few months, the gas in the lines would empty out. The rubber o-rings in the ends of the filter will dry out and shrink. This allows the gas to pump out when you start the car back up after a long rest. You will not have a problem when you park it but when you start it back up, the gas will be squirting out all over the running engine big time. It only needs to find a spark and POOF! No more Camaro. This is not some internet legend here, it IS real. I noticed a big puddle on the floor as I was backing out of the garage so I caught it before it went up in flames but it was real close.

Enjoy your toys!

-Mark.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, Everyone, I still have a few minor things that I need to work out, but it is a work in progress, and it does run.

Hey, if it were perfect it would be no fun. You always got to have something to tinker with.

Very True. This can get to be a very expensive HOBBY.
