Well, I guess I blew it. I joined up. It said I was logged on until I tried to post the BOOK I wrote. It wouldn't let me and then my BOOK was gone! Grrrr :mad:

My name is Floyd Stinson and my wife and I own Firewheel Classics, a small Camaro Parts Company in Wylie Texas. I thought I might join this forum to see if I could contribute and learn something about the hobby. I love Camaros and owned my first one in 1972, a 69 plane jane with a big block in it and I wish I had it back!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Floyd I love that 68Z of yours. I was at one of the first North Dallas Camaro club meetings at Kels house. I was there from Arkansas in my 67 and took home a cal hood and gave away my flat hood.

Nice to see you have joined up and look FWD to your posts. I am sure we all can learn from you as well.

Well Mr. Stinson you seem to be a very popular person around here. What year or generation parts do you have or can you just order anything.

Hello all,
I recently re-found this site after signing up a while ago. I don't remember posting anything so I am starting out fresh here. I have a 1968 SS that was a 396 AT car with 62k original miles. Drivetrain is crated, and the car is being frame off painted (Finally!) after owning for 12 years. I am working on a 582-598 Dart BBC to put in it while still retaining as much "stock" appearance as possible. Nice site!
Happy Holidays!

I've been a frequent visitor of the site for a couple of years now but didn't become a member until Oct. of this yr. The reason was that I had been a buyer looking for used parts to piece up my 69. Until recently I've decided that I needed to sell one of my projects and I have a 68 camaro that I'd hate to sell but will if I don't sell the other vehicle which is the 58 apache p/u I have advertised.

My name is Jeff and I recently purchased a 69 RS Z28 with a 66 vette 327/300 hp.The car has had some serious sheet metal replaced and a fresh coat of black with the white stripes. the RS is a very good clone job, but so far I'm still coming up that it was a Z from the Van Nuys factory... Anybody have any great ideas of tracing these things back to the roots besides the build sheets that have been removed years ago?

Thanks!

Hey all my name is Pat and it`s my first time posting as a new 1968 camaro owner. Well actually my 14 year old daughter loves the old camaros and I was looking for a project to build for her when she starts to drive. I found a 68 hardtop with 327/pg matching numbers car with a column shift for $4800. Lots to do. Just wanted to introduce myself and I will be on here a lot getting advice and probably lots of help with the resto...Talk to you all soon....Pat

Hey everybody. I'm new to the site. I have had several great Camaros over the years. I am actually looking for a 1969 Z28 that I sold several years ago. If anyone can help I would love to try and buy it from the current owner. It is a burgundy Z with a standard red interior. It is an X-77 with a factory 8 track on the console. I sold it to a guy in Califoria about 12 years ago. The vin is 124379N639889. If anyone knows its where abouts or how I could go about finding it I would appreciate any info.

Hey guys,
I am fairly new to this group. We are restoring the interior in our 69 Z28 back to original. # 1-This is EXPENSIVE!! #2-You never know what you are going to run in to. That's where The Team Camaro site has been extremely helpful. I have gotten answers quickly from people who know what they are talking about!! Alot of "been there-done that" experience here. Can't thank you all enough for the help. Don

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I'm looking for help to mount my floor shifter and console in a 68 that originally had a column shifter. Is there a template for drilling holes? And what size is the cable grommet hole?

Hi,my name is Matt and I love camaros. looking for a 68 camaro to fix-up, got a picture of my granddad taken in 1971-with his 68 camaro, it's blue with black interior. no one knows anything else about it. I want to build one just like it. He was killed in Vietnam in 1973, so all i have is this photo to go by. saw this site and thought I'd join - looks like fun and agood place to get some help.
