Now THAT looks like a nice 'bird! Which one is that?
Unfortunately one that wasn't for sale. I'm still trying to decide if I want to buy one already restored or do a frame off. I'm a novice in every sense of the word but I feel like I'll be missing out on part of the experience by buying one already done or almost complete. And while I have zero mechanical experience I know I'm a quick study. Looking at it realistically, the parts I would have the most trouble with would be the frame and paint. Paint would obviously have to be farmed out and I'm still debating whether or not I could handle the frame. I've never welded except in high school shop class...once.
I also feel like I'd be saving another bird, actually contributing to the owner's group instead of just buying my way in.
I have two former teammates that are restoring classic muscle cars or have done so before but they are into resto mods so their advice has been skewed towards that. For me personally, I feel like when you change that much what's the point? Are you even really driving a 1968 Camaro or just something that looks like it? It's the guts that give a car it's soul and their cars may boast more power and better handling but they lack the personality that drew them to a classic car in the first place.
