This is Kenny's 68 Camaro the day he picked it up. What started out to be a rewire of this car turned into a rewire, Vintage Air heat/AC install, disc brake conversion and new interior.
This is a shot of the finished interior. Seats recovered, new carpet, console, shifter, headliner dash items fixed.
This is the engine compartment when Kenny dropped off the car. To start the car, you had to connect a wire from the coil to the battery.
The brake lights didn't work when you stepped on the brakes, so you had to hold that yellow cable in your hand and depress the button on the end of it every time you applied the brakes.
All of the old wiring was removed.
We selected the American Autowire Classic Update™ for the 68 Camaro. This kit had it all! The new fuse box bolts into the original spot on the firewall and it has all of the connectors included in the kit. Bolt the box in, run the wires and plug in all of the sockets . . . it couldn't be easier!
We found a brake/clutch pedal assembly that was in much need of repair. The tab that normally holds the brake light switch was missing . . . this explains the yellow cable that was in the car.
We removed the clutch, welded a brake light switch on the bracket, added new bushings and repainted the assembly. Now when you step on the brakes, the brake lights will work.
All we had left to do was install the Vintage Air "Sure Fit™" system for the 68 Camaro that fit perfectly. The hardest part of this kit wasw having to remove the passenger inner fender to remove the old heater box. We recovered the seats and finished the interior and this is now a different car than when we first saw it.
