Hello Everyone,

Well some good news, the Camaro was picked up today from Billy's and headed to Joe & Paul Place to get ready for paint! Here are a couple quick pics I took while we were loading. Batteries went dead in camera so nothing to exciting or detailed. Hope you like them, Paul is going to be taking and posting pics along the way too!

Now it's time to :gitrdun:

very good day Chris,car looks good like it is,these guys will do a great job for you

Just went thru the whole thread....

Very nice!!

You know, as its raining here today and i spent the day reading car mags and Lat-G project updates (back hurts and i def needed a chillin day anyway so...). It got me thinking, the more i look at the cars beeing built here on Lat-G, the more i realize this site is REALLY helping the car community.

I mean, we see the names of some shops become more and more recognized for their work and it turn it makes it easier for some more enthusiasts to not get burned when giving contracts on their projects by beeing able to identify these shops as ones that deliver and not only that, but that they share the passion on the same level as the customer!! We all know how fast our "toys" can become EXPENSIVE and getting burned by some, how should i say, less professionnal than most(?) shops is not something we would wish to anyone, no? Been there done that too, so i can relate.

Its nice to see the hobby grow and good people get together to make things move in the same direction.

You can see in those last pics the same passion in all the guy's eyes about just picking the car up !! Another beast is being born!!

Love the way your project is going!

:lateral:

Lead.

Chris, the car has come a long way. Looking awesome bro. :headspin: :headspin:

Thanks for checking it out and glad you like it, and you are 100% right on keeping everyone updated on the builds, who does them, the quaility of work they do, and pics tell the story! It could really help someone out and save them alot of grief!

Thanks bud, and your right it has come a LONG way, seems light there is some light at end of the tunnel! :peepwall:

Looks killer, can't wait to see the end result.

Looking real good. Keep it up and keep posting pics.

Thanks guys! And I will keep the updates and pics coming!

Thanks Jay! There are a couple of your ideas from Jeff's car I want to steal from you!! Hope you don't mind but I love some of the simple little things you came up with:thumbsup:

Chris

Well here is a quick update on my project, this thing needs a name but I am having a hard time with that.

Well anyway, Paul started get everything around and fitting all the front end on the car. He called me and gave me good news and some so so bad news. The Rh door fit great with just a little work needed on the gaps, the Lh door sucks along with header panel and hood. Classic GM orginal parts vs re-pop parts. Paul and Joe had a GM hood and bolted it up and it fit great. So Paul has tracked me down a orginal cowl hood and header panel. I was given a list of other parts to track down that they need to keep progress moving such as weather strip, grill, etc.. so everything can be fit before hand. Got every thing around and headed to drop it off Tuesday. They got the decklid fitted and the gaps pretty well figured out with a little work.

I am getting ready to order headers tomorrow so we can get the exhaust built also. I am getting to the stage where I can see the money pit opening fast with all the stuff needed you don't really think about, it's easy to plan for the big ticket things because the stare you in the face. It's the little things, all the hadware, hose/fittings, seals, rollers to rebuild the window assemblies, etc... that I have never really thought about, well tried but never had a good list.:bang: :confused18: Oh well it's just :G-Dub:

Ok here are some pics hope everyone likes them and as always let me know what you think, well the pics are to large to attach and I do not know how to resize them manually right this second. :warning: So here is a link to the photo bucket account with them the should be on last 2 pages. this link hass all the pics so far.
