Jody

Looks great Mike! It's come along ways since I first saw it.:thumbsup:

Thanks Jody, You guys need to come back for Woodward this summer.

Great work.
She's starting to look like a car again!!:thumbsup:

SCHWEEET Mayn...You need to get it finished like NOW. I don't have a car anymore. We'll have to take this pile to Woodward this year! :D

Great detail keep up with the good pics.

I'm working on it brother.

Well we finally got it off the rotisserie and down on the back wheels.:clap: Here are some shots of the roll cage.

My dad fabricated some flanges to clamp the engine bay bars in through the firewall. He did a great job!!

Mike

Looks extremely nice Mike!! Been working hard on it obviously. Keep up the progress - looking forward to seeing it come together.

Great looking progress :thumbsup: :cheers:

Looking Good!!

Mike is one of the nicest guys you would ever hope to meet..and we have a great friendship because of this site, and these cars (we live close too, that helps!)....His car is an inspiration to "do-it-yourselfers", he bought a welder and went to work with really no prior experience. Loads of work and man hours, many "lessons learned", a patient and forgiving wife and a skillful mentor in his father have transformed this car into something to be proud of...I can't wait to see it finished... Great Job!:thumbsup:

Wow - looks really nice.

Thanks for the kind words my friend.

Mike

Totally, Mike is definitely one of the good guys. :cheers:

That welder also works great on bubbletops. :D

Only in the hands of a skilled Artisan:lol: :thumbsup:

how you made to be as block!
you have a magic potion for success as the top job?:hail:

:lolhit:

Schweeet work....the front bar idea is really cool.

Wow love the metal work, its a work of art :hail:

Nice progress it looks great.

wow, that is an awesome build. And honestly, I thought that you were a builder. Well you are but I thought you were a professional builder. :_paranoid I thought you had done something like this before. I am truly inspired. And when I send you too many PMs about my quarters, just say so. Thanks for being an inspiration to the DIYers. I wish I would have met you before I sent me car to the deadbeat bodyman.

I decided I wanted to do the work myself after a few experiences I also had with deadbeat body shops.:rolleyes:

Mike

seems to be alot of those out there. nice work.:thumbsup:

Here are a few updates guys. We put the front suspension together and dropped in the engine for a trial fit. Since it was such a nice day, I decided to push it outside and take a few pictures.

Awesome Mike! Nice to see it outside. Wheels look great! Man...I want to hurry up and get the 55 done so I can get started on another Camaro.

Keep up the killer work !:thumbsup:

X2 with Ricochet Your car looks great..

nice choice of wheels, have you decided on a body color yet?

Thanks Brent. Looking forward to seeing more of your project.

Mike

Nope, haven't decided on a color yet. I have a few idea's though

Mike

Those wheels look great, Mike. Love the stance too.

Ah yes, Looks awesome on wheels Mike.:yes:

It looks killer Mike!! It's always fun to roll them out side and get a better look at all the work done!

Looks killer Mike!...Great attention to detail as always!!!:thumbsup:

:woot: :captain:

Nice work Mike, good thing you went whit different wheels or people might think we are spying on each other :lol:

Wow, looks great. I'm putting together a 67 Firebird in my garage and it looks just like your starting pics. I hope I can get it together as well as you are. I can't wait to see the finished project :thumbsup:

Suscribed ! Man I hope my 67' RS turns out as nice as yours is turning out. I'll be going with a built LQ4/9 or LS2 mated to a t56 with either a 12bolt or C4 IRS(if I can find a kit or someone to build me a kit).

Mike where did you get the mounts used for that coilover fit? It seems like a simple yet effective way of doing this conversion. So simple I have to wonder why the other kits are not this simple?

Nice job and really cool to see a father and son working on a project like this!

Thanks, I'm sure you will get together just fine. Take your time and it will happen.

How about posting up some pics if you haven't already

Mike
