Ko-lek-tor...I'm in Columbus, OH...very close to Marion. If you have his number I will give him a call (or I can contact him through here...people are sometimes funny about their privacy). I'm Alex and have been involved with 1st Gen Camaros since the early '80s. I graduated HS in 1975 and have owned many GTOs (all of them Iowa rust buckets...all purchased between $125 to $1,200), a '70 Boss 302 Mustang (purchased for $1,600 in 1976), a '68 SS396 Chevelle purchased for $800, a '67 RS bought in Socal in 1980 for $1,200 (327/275 with a 4-speed and posi rear), a '69 Trans Am purchased for $500 in Tijuana, Mex in '80 (read my article and see the pictures at the Texastransams.com website), a '68 RS (also 327/275 4-speed) purchased for $1,800 in Socal in'82 (wrecked it one rainy night after too many beers), and many other interesting cars over the years (incl. a survivor '72 Datsun 240Z that I sold 2 years ago). One of the best cars was a '72 Nova 4-door with a 250 six and 3-speed on the column...very entertaining and cheap to drive. I'm now 56 and just looking for something fun to build (and off-the-wall). After selling the 240Z in 2012 (I never quite got into it to the depth I needed...it just didn't move my soul), I got the itch to build a 1st Gen Camaro...most of them with very high price tags and seriously "messed with" (my fiancee was pregnant at the time and I knew I needed something that seated more than 2 people). I have owned some very original survivor cars over the years and found that they attract the most attention and appreciation at shows (and are usually the best drivers...I don't need to go 140 mph anymore, and like getting good gas mileage while I'm cruising around. The '68 RS was found on CL in Hartford, CT for $1,600 (cheap due to rust issues...everyone else saw it and walked away). I realized it was probably a one-of-a-kind, and saw that it came with its numbers-match drivetrain and some early paperwork (P-O-P and dealer order form) and snapped it up. It will take at least 4-5 years to resurrect it, but it'll be a great car to take to shows and cruise around in. I have a son who is 16 months-old (note months, not years!), and he will help Daddy work on it. As I said in an earlier post, my intention is to build it 100% correct. The larger welding work will go to a good body guy I recently discovered, and some of the small wedling will be done by me (90 amp wire-feed welder from Harbor Freight). I will also do the prep and paint with single-stage urethane (probably PPG Imron) since it is less labor intensive than base-coat, clear-coat (and less shiny...looks closer to the Magic-mirror finishes GM applied on these cars originally). The brake and fuel lines will come from the Right Stuff (run in the Columbus area by a great Camaro guy I have known for years...Dave Roberts). The single exhaust will come from Waldron's (not sure where they are, but they produce correct 6 cyl stuff). I plan on using only correct GM bolts and correct paint and finishes on everything. Yes...you're right that this site seems more in tune with 100% correct restorations than TC (no hit on them as there are many fine guys over there). Kurt S seems to be affiliated with both sites, but probably much closer to this site (his research papers are all posted on this site). I'm looking forward to finally getting the body's bad metal replaced and getting components rebuilt (the car still has its original alternator, starter, distributor, and carb). Looking forward to sharing my love of old Camaros on here and learning a thing or two about doing one the right way. Greetings to all here...
