Hello everyone my name is Zach i am 16 years old (dont let the age fool you), and im restoring a 1968 Camaro. I live about 5 mins from G-force if anyone wants to come and check out my camaro. Right now i am replacing the quarter panels, snail panel, upper dash panel and a few other pieces, as well as minitubing the rearend for a 13 inch wide tire. When the rear sheet metal work is completed i will be installing a www.hotrodstohell.net truckarm suspention kit as well as a custom roll cage. Tubular control arms will be added and i am thinking about installing a rack and pinion front steering. After that i plan on dropping in a LS1/T-56... Here are the pics of the car right now doesnt look like much but soon it will be a *slightly modded* pro touring Daily driver : http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/619530
AIM is zachary 188 if anyone wants to chat
