The Camaro is now officially done!!! NOS wheels covers are now on and just the way it came from the factory, and it really gives the car a no-nonsense look.

I got into the Lime Rock Concours (with a little inspiration from David S.), and got 3rd place in the Domestic Dynamite class. I'm very proud of that, since there were some REALLY nice cars there. Not too bad for a car with hubcaps and no spoilers or stripes!!

So, here are a few updated pictures:

Before (July 6, 1968) and after:

Looks great Jeff! I like the way it changes color depending on the amount of light hitting it.

The first two pictures with the before and after are pretty wild too.

Crazy seeing a brand new '68 Camaro

Yeah, it's a funky 60's color for sure. Sometimes it's more gold, sometimes it's more green, and other times it looks silver w/ a hint of green.

The kids have named the Camaro "Ash" after the official color name, which is Ash Gold.

The kids have also named my other cars:
"Dodger" is my rust-free 94 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD (also belonged to my Dad, just hit 50k, and has never seen salt). My next restoration project????? Hellcat engine swap candidate???
"The Silver Bullet" is my 06 Subaru Legacy wagon (it's a 2.5NA and S L O W).
"Ruby" is the Jeep Rubicon
My wife's car is just "Mom's Car" for some strange reason. I guess the kids weren't feeling too creative on that one.

Here's a cool pic that Kevin @ LaBrecque Autocraft took, showing the variations in the color:
