68 Camaro Ok well here is my restoration thread, hopefully it will follow the complete restoration and *modification* of my 68 Camaro. If anyone wants to come check it out in person im in friendswood. I have all the pics so far on http://members.cardomain.com/43zach
The last attatched thumnail of the drivers side rear framerail has that big dent in it, i am not sure wether to cut that section out and replace it or not. I am not going to be running leaf springs so it wont have as much load on it as usual, and i dont know how it got there its in an odd place
Anyways thanks for looking,
Zach

Welcome to the site Zach. You have a LOT of work ahead, I don't envy you 
That dent from the frame rail might have been from a severely bottomed out rearend, perhaps in its earlier life someone removed any bumpstops.
probably won't hurt to leave it alone unless it bothers you cosmetically.

im Hoping to have it ready for paint before this time next year, so sometime before Spring 06 it will be driveable. Hope it doesnt take that long though lol
You've got your work cut out for you... but its fun once you get it all done to look back at all the pictures and compare it to the finished product. It is amazing...

Nice 69 Hawgs. 01 Red WS6, sure ill work on your project car if ya pay me 
Really the way i look at it after i get these quarter panels on the hard/ time consuming part is done.... Cage will be easy, rear suspsension will be easy, LS1/T56 shouldnt be too hard and everything else im doing shouldnt be too hard so i think i will start to pick up pace a little bit.
