Here is my rendition of the 68 Camaro by AMT.  I followed Snake45's suggested modifications (thank you!).  In addition, I increased the rear axle height for an improved stance.  I added side marker lights from styrene sheet.  After cutting down the beltline moulding, I added thin plastic sheet to create the correct mouldings.  I will add mirrors when i find a suitable pair.  Unfortunately, the kit did not supply them.  The interior mirror was also missing.  There was no brake booster provided either, although the box art clearly shows one.  I hope you like it.

One of the better renditions of this kit I've ever seen (and you're welcome! ;)). The Rally Green with black stripes is a great-looking scheme (that's how I did my '69 Yenko). VERY well done my friend and model on! ;)?B)

Great looking Camaro. I agree with Snake on the color looking like the Rally Green color from back in the day. The body trim is all cleanly done. Like the big & little Good Years.

Do you have a WIP link? I would like to see the mods you did to improve the kit. Nice result BTW.

Bill, I believe he used the tricks I showed in this tutorial I posted about eight years ago:

Very nice. But man that air cleaner decal looks tiny!
