Hey Will, I just read thur your whole build thread , awesome read with lots of informative info and great pics is always a bonus ! The body shop graveyard stories are always a horror show !!! However you must have a great deal of patience to great thur it. The Camaro looks awesome and good luck to you as you finish it up , thanks for sharing . 66tintop

I really appreciate you taking the time to go through my thread. Most the time it seems like just a sound board to journal/log my thoughts and progress on.

Today was a big day as it's the first day the car has legitimately seen the street. And it was AWESOME!!!

Got about 20-30mi in. Got to see some throttle in 2-3 instead of a little in first. It's fast. Damn fast. Faster than anything I've had. And by a significant margin. Haze 345 drag radials at 50-60mph fast rolling into throttle.

I can't wait to get it tuned and turned up!!!

light tint the bottom lights to match your headlights, Match the trunk area between the spoiler and the tail panel and then you are set. nice work

you and nine ball need to get pictures of the cars together!

must be a awesome felling...congrats..can we get some pictures of the 240 please.

That is Sick! Good Luck.

Congrats, Will! Have fun with the car. Let us know what it makes after it's tuned and turned up.

I hadn't thought about tinting those lights. That's a good idea.

Not sure I'll match under the spoiler. Worried it may look a little weird since you'll still have body color under it on the sides.

Yea we do. Now that I can get mine out of the garage. Maybe a better photo can exist than this one.

It was very awesome. I'll dig up some 240 photos. Quick info is big turbo 5.3 and a built auto. It's gone 10.5@137 so far!!! Lot more left in it.

Thanks. I am having a blast so far. Didn't want to stop driving it yesterday.

You will definitely know when I know. My guess is it's around 650 as it sits untuned on 9 psi. Tune and more boost and shooting for 1000 on pump gas.

Awesome Will! Happy for you man, it has been a long road! Will have to do some cruising sometime in the near future

Congratulations Will, glad to hear you got it out.

Good for you Will! Very rewarding to finally drive the long projects down the street. I was able to find time away from work last week to pick my son up from school in my Chevelle, and it was extremely cool.
Your power numbers are no joke! Beautiful car my friend!

Definitely. I can't wait to go cruise it around some more!

Thanks!

Agreed. Very rewarding and about time. Finally getting to enjoy it some for all the expense paid and time invested.

Enjoy that sucker. You built a great car.

Thanks! Can't wait to get some vids of it running and driving around. And to attend events again like power tour and local cruises!

That is awesome Will love the car. Glad you are getting to enjoy it brother.

Hopefully you can get the tune all dialed in shortly. We need to see a WOT drive-by video of this!

Hell yes. The world is waiting!!!

It should be awesome!

Do you know what product your window guy uses to trim the rear window like yours? Or do you mind sharing his contact info for those of us not local?

Man, it's just st such a shame to cover up that engine compartment with sheet metal. It's crazy that a car that looks like that could be considered a sleeper!

I got a photo of it knowing people would ask. It took some skill but this is the rubber.

I agree but have already scared a few newer sports cars. Some rolled up. Then after hearing turbo and seeing the car roll smoke off the tires at 50+mph they thought otherwise about it. Can't wait to turn it up.

Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

No worries. I watched the whole thing. Two pieces front and rear. Can get pics of the splices and answer questions. I know how it was done now.

Drove that car to work today. Yessssss.

AWESOME !!!!

Been watching your build for awhile congrats getin'er on the road!!

Question: you mentioned that you HAD to use the GM trim on the front glass, is that because the a-pillars were not extended into the fender line prior to paint? Or something else? That molding does looks nice and clean on the back!

Camaro ...
 

Amazing Will, congrats on a beautiful car
Cheers
Steve

Correct. It's just to fill that gap. Otherwise could run without the original trim at the bottom.

congrats Will,thats a huge accomplishment to finally get to enjoy it:trophy-1302: :trophy-1302:

Congrats!! The car looks great.

Thanks guys. GoPro batteries are charged. I'll get some vids next week :-)

I miss your posts on [OT] bro. Hope all is well man.


Will;

Lets get some footage this week of the car!

Definitely. GoPro batteries are charged and ready. May make a quick attempt today to see if they cameras need anything else.

I don't know what happened but I ve missed this thread entirely. Well, caught up know, and all I can say is NICE!!!!

Thanks. Been flying low. Can't wait to get it out more and get it sorted. Car feels like it's on rails with the DSE stuff. Love it so far!

Met up with a buddy and his pro-touring car today for lunch. Managed to get a few pictures of the two together.

Oh yeah that's awesome!!! Great pics, thanks for sharing!

Looking good man!

I saw a couple of the pictures on Face Book, glad you added some here. The cars look beautiful.

Yea I'm trying to keep this thread updated but Instagram makes it tough since it's so easy to make a single picture post several times. And easy to do on the fly.
