: Back from paint shop!
rich1968RS Jan 22nd, 08, 08:58 AM Well I figure some pictures are due here, I just picked the '68 up from the paint shop yesterday after work. Now it's time to get going on dropping in the 468/PG that are sitting in the garage. Anyway, here it is, the blue ended up a little bit lighter than I had thought it woud (it gets maddening trying to tell one paint chip from another). I'm pretty happy with it overall, this is just a racecar, not looking for something perfect. Car is soaking wet, been raining like crazy here.

Pro-Street69Camaro468 Jan 22nd, 08, 04:36 PM You should have posted in the Pro-Street forum I'd a found you sooner...lol...Car looks great did you do all the work besides paint,post some more pics of your progress.:thumbsup:
rich1968RS Jan 22nd, 08, 08:08 PM pro-street forum? I guess I need to look at the list a little more closely! This car is all track, no street though :(
rich1968RS Jan 22nd, 08, 08:12 PM PS - to answer questions, I bought the car already backhalved, got a 468/glide combo ready to put in now that it's finally painted and then we're headed to the 1/8th mile track!
Pro-Street69Camaro468 Jan 23rd, 08, 02:31 PM :beers:You need to put it on the street and hang with the rest of us that have the few first gens left. You could always drive it to the track and this would save buying a trailer...lol...:thumbsup:
rich1968RS Jan 23rd, 08, 10:16 PM David - I'd love to but it would be a pretty long row to hoe. Didn't get a title with the car, so I'd probably have to go the bonded title route, then everything needed to pass a Texas inspection.....Maybe someday, I'd to if I could

DragRacer Jan 24th, 08, 07:18 PM Rich,
Looks Good!
Where do you usually race? I'm up near Denton, so I usually race there, but also go to Redline and Kennedale on occasion.
rich1968RS Jan 25th, 08, 12:09 PM Jason, we usually hit Kennedale, it's a little closer to us than Denton. We may get up to Denton some time this year, seems like half the people I know race up there.
Fred Ficarra Jan 25th, 08, 02:20 PM Rich, yikes! No title? Hope you got a receipt. How do you know the car isn't stolen?
Sorry about the rain. We haven't seen a cloud in nearly a week.:thumbsup: Kinda cold though. Mid 20's last night, but back in the 70's it would have been near zero. I love global warming.:hurray:
Mav68erick Jan 25th, 08, 02:36 PM wow some painting skills, its got a natural wet look to it
