I tell ya this sure makes it fun when a car has never had any rust!! Even the floor pans are rust free! Don't see many cars in Virginia like this. This one came from San Diego. Pretty sure this one has never left California til about a year and a half ago. Being from Virginia I have seen a lot of crusty cars and until about 4 years ago I have never experienced what it was like to own a true rust free classic. Bought a stock 67 RS Camaro Arizona car and turned it into a protouring ride. It was a pleasure working on it. Probably won't buy another rust bucket.;)

Just started sanding and polishing the turbo piping. Going from 80 grit to 800 grit takes a while but it sure is worth it!

excellent project!

Little sleepy round here?!!!

meaning? :question:

Good question. Meaning?

Just curious if there was anything new to report.

Sorry Trackman I wasn't sure what you meant. :) Here are a couple of shots of the new radiator cover panel and the support closeout panels that Hamilton Enterprises made and did a great job. It will be painted black to match the radiator support. Also in the picture are the Comp Turbo turbo blankets.

I think that Camaro is taking up to much space in your garage. You should sell it to me!
Not the first time I have been misunderstood....

It will be going up for sale pretty soon. It's a nice all original sheetmetal with no rust ever convertible. Let me know if you are really interested.

I didn't realize it was a vert. I got enough of them!

Looks like it has a set of High Jackers in the back. Can ya say 1980!:yes:

Looks awesome. Is it running? Can't wait till your bored of it!

Probably won't be running till spring. Going to take it off the frame and paint and detail the undercarriage. We are now mocking up all the wiring, computer, fuel system and everything under the hood before it comes off the frame. This is going to be a very hard one to get rid of!:)

Man it sure is nice not to lay on my old back anymore to work on a project! Do yourself a favor and be smarter than me and get one sooner than later!

Now in the process of a full detail. Will be pulling the body off the frame and getting the frame powdercoated satin black. Also painting the bottom side of the body and detailing under the hood.

great work Rick. Definitely a whole new project now. :thumbsup:

Thanks Jody! And thanks again for going to look at it for me! Feel like I'm on the home stretch.:thumbsup:

well, not sure I did you any favors. :D With all you ended up changing it may not have been the right choice. But I felt it could be finished easily and a decent deal at the time.

The good thing is it will be a great car when you're done with it.

It looks great..

Your car and shop are stellar Rick!

I said it over on PT.com and I will repeat myself over here.This is outstanding.Can't wait to see it finished.:thumbsup:

Keep up the good work. Looking good.

Looking good!! :yes: Now, it's time to get started on putting it back together. :thumbsup:

Look's Great.:thumbsup: I've used the rally black before.Good stuff.:thumbsup:

That's really great looking. :yes:

Awesome job. That looks great.

Thanks very much! More pics to come...making some headway on the chassis now.:thumbsup:

Rick

What an awesome project. I can't wait to see it back on the ground.:thumbsup:

What are your plans for the suspension ?

Thanks! Talk about an awesome truck, are you still the proud owner/builder and now driving it all over town? Bet you it's a blast to drive! What do or did you like best, building or driving it or both? I have 2 1/2 years building the Chevelle and probably won't be done until next spring.

I'm installing a complete DSE Speed Kit 3. Can't wait to see how it handles and drives.

Thanks for the compliments on the Truck. There were a ton of people involved in the build of that beast. High Speed Welding, Comp Fab, Recovery Room Interios & most important was Kenny Davis Hot Rods.

I started the project in my garage like you and then hauled it to Comp Fab where every Thursday and Saturday I worked on it. Then when it came back home I worked on it again and they sent it to Kenny Davis Hot Rods. I can't say enough good things about Kenny, Kenny Sr and Travis they are the one's that actualy finished the truck. Kenny hauled it to Sema 2010 and it sold couldn't pass up the Money plus I want to start another project with a back seat because I now had 2 little girls that I love taking with me every where.

So I left Vegas in a 2010 SLP 575 Camaro and drove it to Chicago. It's the perfect car to take to local cruise nights with my girls.

I also started a 70 Camaro project that I have involved my kids and the neighbor kids in. I figure if i can get them into Cars and Mountain Biking it may keep them away from drugs and other bad things. The 70 has been a blast to work on and once again I have handed it off to Kenny and the guys at Kenny Davis Hot Rods. We were going to debut it at Sema this year but I had a little medical problem that I need to care of first. So the new plan it to debut it in March at the World of Wheel in Chicago.

okay sorry for the thread hi-jack on my reply.

Wow! Sounds like you have had some great experiences due to your hard work and are truly blessed! I have a girl and a boy (7 & 5) and can't wait to take them to the cruise-ins.

I have no intention of selling the Chevelle but I guess that's what they all say. Maybe someone will make a crazy offer and she will have to go?:D

Wish you the best with you and your project!

Your project is looking really good Rick! :thumbsup:
