LOl, I sure did think about it, i will say that. But we will see. As for the next adventure I have to first finish the reno on my garage, do some simple body mods to a friends new truck, then I have a 68 ford truck showing up. Will be a nice ride there!

Thought I would share some parting shots of this thing. Bye bye. :metal:

Swiss looking into the bright sunshine for the first time since her facelift, gonna be hard for her to brave her new life, but I have faith that all will be well.

Sweet! You should take one of the finish pics and the one where it first came back from the sandblasters and do a before and after poster and put it on the wall in your shop, because that is something to be proud of. Nice work!

As a fellow Car Guy I feel obligated to thank you for breathing new life in an otherwise useless hulk! **sniff sniff sigh** I hope all those who say "Dude, it was just too far gone to save" see this and take note. Awesome job. I hope you will continue to post more progress pics from time to time so we can see how it comes along.

I like that idea, when it gets done I will. I have a feeling that I may be doing more yet to this car than I think. we will see. But there will be updates for sure.

I could not agree more, no one thought that I could bring this back to life. I knoew I could, there was a lot of ppl running me down up here that i could not do it, well there was my motivation ther, don't tell me I can not do it, cause that just means I am gonna do it!!!!!!!!

Seeing all your hard work on that flatbed like that made me a little nervous. Looked top heavy. Sounds like it made it home alright.

Re: Project "SWISS CHEESE" the 68 Camaro
 
The first time I sent a car out on the flatbed on the whirly majig, I was nervous also, But this is not the first time, I seen how stable it is, and it is tied down pretty darn good also!

That was as far as he was going to take this one. The owner was supposed to have it finished from here.

It would be cool to see pics if he still see's the owner.

Re: Project "SWISS CHEESE" the 68 Camaro
 
I never got to know how far it got. It got sold and from there gone.
