Another new guy from Lapeer

[StoveBolts]

Hey Everyone,

Hoping to do some cruising in the next few weeks. I've got a 1968 Camaro that's been a work in progress the past 10 years. Finally got her out of paint and am planning on doing my first car show @ the sloan museum.

Very nice ride man. Tucked away for a while there, was going to say never seen you in Lapeer.

Love the color.


Any interest on going to the Mifbody M&G saturday.

Wow, very active forum! Thanks for the warm welcome!
I started tearing the car apart in 05 and last August my wife had Dave Quintel steal my car for paint as my birthday present He did a fantastic job on the paint and actually, the pictures are in front of his house and were taken Monday at 10 am. The car is in my garage again

anyway, I need to get new tires as those are dry rot, some exhaust work and of course, I need a license plate and tabs before I bring it to the cruise on Monday nite. I'm going to see if I can get Dave to go with me since he did such a fantastic job with the paint!

Wow that's gorgeous!!!! Welcome to the site! Not too often we get an active member with a first Gen. Absolutely beautiful 68 and I love the ghost flames.

hi, and welcome!

[StoveBolts]

Thank you for the welcome!

It's funny how I came up with the ghost flames. I originally wanted big bold white SS stripes and the night before paint we were going over the car when we realized we couldn't do SS stripes because of the hood. Anyway, I said, "Wouldn't it be cool to have ghost flames!" The painter liked the idea (those are freehand) so after adjusting the price and getting it okay'd by my wonderful wife, we took almost three weeks to figure out the flames. He did an awesome job and these pictures don't do them justice.

Thanks though, and yes, if you can't tell I'm excited! Here is a picture of them up close in his garage. Excuse the reflection of his metal ceiling

Wow that angle really makes it pop! Hey I saw you put you saw an Mifbody sticker on a car - was it an Fbody or trailblazer by chance? I have a banner on my back windows but I don't think it has gotten any new members yet hahaha

[StoveBolts]

Oh, I just wanted to add how I found this site. I was actually driving down 14 mile by Ryan a week ago when this awesome black 4th gen pulled up beside me with a mifbody.com sticker on his window. That was one nice ride! To my enjoyment he headed up I-75 and I followed him (80 + mph) to Holly where for some reason he slowed down lol and I kept going. BTW, I was in the green ugly Malibu lol.

So, whoever had that awesome black 4th gen Fbody, all I have to say is "Nice ride! and thanks for sporting the sticker to this site!

Thanks and sorry for the delay in responding. I just noticed the two new posts.

Anyway, Dave Quintel did all the paint and body work out of his shop behind his house. He lives just down the road from me in Attica. He does good work and is very reasonable / honest.

Actually, all these pictures were taken at his house on Memorial Day. It was the first day we saw the car in natural sunlight
