1968 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod... step by step

     The build project is based around a rough, yet sound platform of a non-descript 1968 Camaro Coupe that rolled off the assembly line as a Green, Six Cylinder car.

     The build plan is based on utilizing the major components that came with the project car at purchase. Specifically, the build will be based on a 383 Stroker Engine, a 700R Transmission (from a 1991 Caprice), pushing power to a 308 10-bolt posi-traction rear differential. The 383 Stroker Engine is considered by many car enthusiast as a ‘Bad Ass’ power plant. The Chevy 383 Stroker draws much of its popularity from the fact that it uses and improves upon the 350 Chevy block. Because many of the parts interchange between all small block Chevy engines, upgrading another on to a 350 or 383 Stroker is easy and cost-efficient. This has led many of the horsepower seeking Chevrolet enthusiasts to the 383 Stroker.

Florida's A1A in March with Ken

What does Florida have in March? Sunshine, Convertibles, Custom Motorcycles, Hot-Rods and Awesome Beaches!

   
Oh! Did I mention the weather? As in WARM weather, you know, without FREEZING and the “so-sick-of-it-by-now” Cold winter!  Did I mention Mallory and I are in northern Florida on the Atlantic Coast at a beautiful serene beach. By the way is aptly named in honor of one of the early big shots in Florida's sun drenched Atlantic coast history. Yeah, I'm  in the city of(albeit a small one) Flagler Beach, on Highway A1A.  Our front yard just happens to be on Flagler Beach, located just north of the two most legendary beaches in American Motorsports history.
