Eckler Industries

Tools you will need:

1. Saw or Dremel Tool

1. 200 plus grit sandpaper

1. 10 mm socket

First off, you will need a fuel door off a 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Even though the door looks like it’s made of billet, it’s aluminum.

One inexpensive and simple way to tighten and seal up your Camaro is to replace the weatherstripping! These door and trunk weatherstrip pieces are correct to give you an exact fit on your car, attaching with the original style pins and screws.

Parts Needed:

• WS-2: 68-69 Door weatherstrip w/molded ends

• WS-5: 67-81 Trunk weatherstrip

If you’ve invested in lowering springs for your 4^th Gen Camaro or Firebird...

Have you always loved the blacked-out tail panel look that appears on the Berger Camaros?

This 1973 Camaro RS Z/28 clone (a real RS, not a Z/28)had been sold to two good friends in Australia, but they both found other projects in OZ to take on instead. So, after 5 years of sitting around and collecting parts, I decided to do something with it. I named it Project Boomerang because it just kept coming back!

I’ve owned this Camaro for the past eleven years– I purchased it at the Spring Daytona swap meet in March of 2002. I had decided I wanted a project car to work on, as I had always wanted a ‘69 Camaro for that exact purpose. My plan was to work on the project as funds became available. I thought that it would take as little as 5 years, (depending on the condition of the car, of course). As I walked around the Daytona Swap Meet that day it looked like I wasn’t going to find my project car. All the Camaros found were already restored and were commanding at least $35-$40 thousand dollars.

Ever since my first car, a 1975 Camaro, I’ve always had a Camaro in my life. That is, until my four children came along and the Camaro was traded in for a Suburban! Fast forward 20 years and with the kids in college, I decided it was time once again to renew my love for Camaros. I started searching for a ‘69 retro-rod. I looked for about six months, but everything I found was well above my price range.

One day while traveling down the Interstate I saw a 2000 SS Camaro that really caught my eye. I modified my search to include a Gen 4 SS. I found the perfect car just 20 miles from my home, and I just had to have it.

It did not take long for Bill Panouses to get hooked. The local East Milone, IL paper, a ’68 Camaro, and a test ride were all it took.

Feeling his heart pump wildly as the owner slammed through the gears on the test ride confirmed to Bill that there would be a time when he owned a ’68 Camaro. “It was the ride of my life!” exclaimed Bill.
