1968 Chevrolet Camaro LS3 Restomod Interior Upgrades and Driving Feature Video V8 Speed & Resto Shop V8TV

Posted on by V8 Staff
1968 LS3 Camaro

This great looking 1968 Chevrolet Camaro LS3 Restomod came to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop to fix some tuning issues and to have a new custom interior installed. The plan was to modernize the door panels with some Fesler pieces, and custom design and build a center console to house the Vintage Air A/C controls, the power window switches, a pair of stainless cup holders, a double-din audio system, USB power, and the Tremec T56 6-speed shifter.

The V8 Speed and Resto Shop interior department completely designed, built, upholstered, and wired the custom console before installing it in the Camaro. The Fesler door and rear side panels were upholstered in matching black vinyl with a corresponding hounds-tooth insert to match the Camaro’s seats.

Before the car was complete, our team identified that the roof skin was rusty and improperly installed, so the V8 Speed and Resto Shop Fabrication Department went to work removing the old skin, repairing the rust, and installing a new piece. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop Body Shop finished the job and painted the new roof with a black industrial coating, then the Interior Shop installed a new vinyl top.

The LS3 1968 Camaro makes great power, and is a real blast to drive. We’re excited to see this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro rolling down the road, and the owner is looking forward to making more memories on road trips with his restomod Camaro.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Drivability Improvements at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Drivability Improvements at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

Some restored cars look completed, but still require extensive refinement and tuning to be road-ready.    In this case, our customer had this sweet 1969 Camaro restored for them, but the shop did not complete some of the final drivability details, so the customer is not confident driving the car.  The car is sporting some cool parts selections like a FiTech fuel injected 454 Chevy V8 coupled to a Tremec TKO 500 5-Speed transmission, all wrapped in a stock RS / SS trim package.   However, the “last 5%” details still need to be addressed to make sure the car is ready for miles of trouble-free cruising.  For example, the front tires rub the inner fenders when turning, the windshield washer system does not work, there are some loose radio wires, and other nuisance items.   Once they are remedied, the engine tune will be optimized, brake performance dialed-in, and other systems verified for proper operation.    The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team is well-versed in this process, and we’ll be performing final adjustments to remedy the quirks of a fresh restoration.

Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Sunoco Trans Am Car Video 2017 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals V8TV

Posted on by V8 Staff

The 2017 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Chevrolet Camaro, but not just by loading the show with random examples.    In this display, we see an invitational of 1967 Camaro Z/28s, including this awesome Sunoco Trans Am racer built by Roger Penske and raced by Mark Donohue! 1967 Z/28s are a rare sight these days, and Trans Am versions even more so.   This invitational was a great example of the special kinds of displays you’ll see at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals!
