I'm with you! after being gray for a decade plus its looking pretty good. I can't wait to see it up close and in person. Years ago, when I bought it - was a parts car for a Camaro I had then, I found out body wise was in much better shape decided to for Pontiac and sold the Camaro. I'm a couple weeks away from bringing it home and going forward with the rest of the build, But I still haven't made up my mind on seats.

still need to install rest of front end- valance, bumper, headlight mounts, batwing, I'm being told it should be back in my shop next weekend guess I need to make room for it lol
long way to go still: glass, interior, tires/wheels

[ZMAN1969]

its home now, time to get organized and all of the rest of the parts needed to assemble. its nice to see as a complete car

Note: does anyone have an interior assembly list? - you know as in order
I've shot myself in foot before

complaints:
1) they let battery discharge/Die over last 1.5 years - its dead as a doornail, was fine when he picked up. Fine I can deal with this

2) It runs like crap says it loaded up cyl running it w/o MAF/air intake hooked up - hope it just needs plugs

3) I expressed my concerns of wanting nice body gaps from the git go and most is OK - except the trunk Ugh

front end isn't assembled as it was supposed to be
body guy says hell comeback when I get new headlight cushions to assemble and I just hope its gonna fit nice

I just ordered around 2k in parts for this mostly exterior trim.
on the spark plugs- Jeeze I had new NGKs in this, whgen got it back had 4 ND plugs 4 Delco's and 2 were gasketed plugs - WTH? body man didn't say a word about that he swapped them, it does need a tune done and I'm looking for local or mobile tuner
