View Full Version : 1967 Camaro.
My next project within next couple weeks.
This is a 31,000 miles barn find. All original from South Carolina.
Been garaged since 1986/87!
Current thoughts as of now, subject to change, is to perform the following:
1. Combination of waterless and rinse less wash.
2. Go straight to Blackfire One Step with CBEAST and Rupes yellow pads.
As of now, probably won’t be doing the megs #7. But will see once I clean and test paint. My gut says it’s that hard single stage enamel paint.

I can not wait to see how this thing turns out......you get the coolest cars to work on...what are your plans for those wheels/hubcaps?
Briarpatch,
Thanks and yes, I'm blessed to have an owner that owns a classic muscle shop that likes the work that I do and trusts me to touch his customer's cars.
As for those hubcaps....I have no idea yet! Lol. Don't know if they can be saved or not. There is a thin film of varnish on the stainless behind the spokes! Spokes are tight together where one can not get fingers in between!
In addition to narrow spokes---there's wrinkled black paint alongside the varnished stainless. Kind of stumped at the moment.
I'll probably need to pull the caps off and see if I can take it apart.

My all-time favorite GM smallblock.
Would be either a 200HP or 275HP variant in the Camaro.
I like the L76 (365HP) and L79 (350HP) flavors of the 327. Both have 2.02 heads, 11:1 with forged, domed aluminum pistons, factory aluminum "snowflake" intake, etc. Major difference is the L76 has a solid lifter cam vs. hydraulic for the L79.
Have had both in C2's and I would take the L79 with an M21 all day long, those motors were just "Born to Run".

You couldn't run todays pump gas with those 11:1 slingers could you?

Head to the marina to get gasoline that doesn't have any ethanol in it, then add a quality octane booster.
Of course we're going to need to make up for the loss of lead, so dump a bunch of Marvel Mystery Oil in. :laughing:
I know hardened valve seats are popular but there is conflicting opinion on whether they make a difference in anything but heavy-duty conditions/use.

Opps....That isn't a good picture!
But you can see---varnished stainless behind spokes with wrinkled black paint on outer edges of the varnished stainless.
Will pull the hub caps off and see if I can take it apart.
