Buddy wanted to built a hot rod so I told him he could have this 67 Camaro that I got from Uncle Don in 1971 under one condition.  I'd show him how to do the work but only if HE did all the work and came up with the money to finish it!  I drove it a lot of years then decided to "trick it out" just about the time we started building the house, barn and hanger.  It took a back seat to all the building and wound up on blocks in the barn when that was done.  


This is the car just after pulling it out of the barn.  It's full of car parts that will have to come out for the rebuild.


You can see what I started.  The wheel flares, custom hood and the roof s cut out for an electric sun roof


The parts are out of the passenger compartment.  Here you see the front clip is on...


This is the last time it's going to roll on its own four wheels for a while.


Bud's got the front sub frame out from under the car and completely disassembling it.


This is the easiest way to get the bushing out of the "A" frames.


Bud's through scattering the front clip and know it's time to think about the body.  We're building a rotisserie fixture so we can rotate the car 360 degrees to work on it.


The Fixture is finished and in one piece for the first time.


We thought the two Camaro's look pretty good together 



We pulled it into the hanger and started the disassembly process.


...And now it's off!  That's a 250 engine that's not even broken in yet.  It's been full of oil for quite some time.


Everything is out of the car except the rubber boot for the shifter, the brake and clutch peddles.


Now he's scattering the front clip.  Some of that hardware has been in there a long time.


The heat doesn't hurt the metal but it can make quite a mess though.


The fixture is not complete here but it's close.  The castor wheels haven't come in yet and I still need some additional steel to finish the job.


Now it's time to put the Camaro in it to see if it works.


Yup!  I think it works just fine!  It's like that guy use to say on TV, "I just love it when a plan comes together!"
