bought a camaro!

[Rickomatic]

I had a 74 when I was in high school. the hardest thing to do on that car was to keep those big heavy doors aligned. they always wanted to sag. But I love those old 'maros. Good luck with it and keep the pics coming as you make changes.

i have actually had some work done to it, i changed all the plastic thingies, that keep the water outside the cab( just don't know the name for those), y got the radiator checked and cleaned and rectified and stuff, got the breaks fixed, new battery, and painted a kickass stencil number 3 all over the doors, i was so excited about the car going well, but tha radiator is leaking again, so i gotta find a better one, a new one is expensive for me, and the break lights are all messed up, still i love it and i hope that my new work will give me enough money to make a cool car with the years to come....

i'll try to post recent pics of the car

regards!

Keep up the work. You will get it fixed right! I think that car is a keeper.

Seeing that big "3" on there got me thinking about a "rat" type of theme for your car-Since you're in Mexico, why not go for a worn, beat-up "Survivor of Carrera Pan Americana" look? Add some vintage racing decals, maybe look up some local Chevrolet dealers on the internet that aren't in business anymore and borrow their logo to paint as "sponsors" on the quarter panels.... Dunno, sounds a little cheesy, maybe, but I think it might look cool if you don't overdo it.

Love your car. Makes me want another Camaro. My Dad had a '68 convertible (the only new car he's ever owned) and I had an '87 sport coupe with T-tops.

Keep pluggin' away and keep us posted!

i like the style of the cars in the panamericana, the thing is, i still want to give the camaro another look, i want to go with black primer and re-do the 3 in orange, but those are just crazy ideas that someday i'll do... thanks for the idea though
