Heres a mint 1967 RS Camaro that we bought in Fresno and shipped to New Zealand at the same time.

Rebuild is now underway. Car has been imported from the States to NZ. Car has been dipped in a strip tank to remove all the old paint and gunk and then in a rust converter tank to kill any rust areas before going into a neutralising tank. As it is in the picture the body has a rust preventative coating awaiting cleanup and primer.

Heres a picture of the chassis and body, cleaned up ready for primer to be applied.

wow, your project looks great. can't wait to see the rest of it.I will be looking and checking on it. engine will look killer as well. I am sure there are not many like that over there.where did you get the headers , I've been looking and am having a hell of a time finding some. I am chipping away at a 60 El Camino with a 468 and would appreciate any feedback you could give.
