Class of '08 1968 Camaro RS

Class of 2008 '68 Chevrolet Camaro RS Project

The Automotive Technology Class would like to thank everyone who came out to support the class at the June 9 car show and Cobra raffle. More than 170 antique and classic cars came out for the event.

A work in progress . . .

The following pictures show the 2007/08 class project. This car is a work in progress for the 2007/08 school year. The projected date of completion is May of 2008. Stop by frequently to see the status of this classic American muscle car come to life again.

2007-2008  marked the third school year that students have built a car from scratch. That's right, literally from the ground up, bumper-to-bumper.

Proceeds will again be used for a project for the next school year (08-09). Graduating seniors also received mechanics tools.

New for 2008

This year we plan to team up with Right Coast Association(Right Coast Cars), to display our students work at the Syracuse Nationals July 18-20, 2008 . Stay tuned for more information to follow. Tickets will be available early Spring of 2008. Stay Tuned
