Thanks Joe, I am really stoked to get it to you guys and move into the next stage!

Greg,
Yes that is exactly what that is and yes one of Billy products! Glad you like the project!

Quick update, here are a couple pics of a couple of the cooler mounts and installs Billy and his guys came up with, he just txt'd me the pics.

Looking good. Can't wait to see that car on the west side of the state.

Did Billy use a water jet to cut the top and bottom plates for your cooler mounts?

Jason,
I can't wait to move it over to the west of the state. One of the guys Billy has working for him made the mounts, I believe he has a CNC plasma cutting table they did it on.

Hey when you have time email me or txt me your dash pics. Looking forward to getting with you and working out the wiring plans.

Man that is slick Chris :thumbsup:

I tried to get Billy to send me some more update pics this afternoon but all I got was a pic with the screen blacked out and a pic of the frame table with a different project on it:headscratch: I think he's holding out on me :mock: till I get home from out of town and get there wed with Paul to take it to paint.

Thanks everyone for the interest and can't wait to get it done and then out having fun with it and meeting some all the great people on here!!

Awesome car! Not sure about those wheels though.

Hey thanks!

Jeff, I am going Friday morn with Paul to pick the car up and take it to there shop! So should have some pics in the near future.:cheers:

Rick,

If your coming up this way, not sure which way Your planning to take but either coming or going take I94 and give Joe & Paul visit when blowing thru Kalamazoo area. They are not far off the expressway!

Let me know and if it's a weekday I will stop by it would be cool to meet you.

Chris:thumbsup:

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!

Chris

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.

Have a great day everyone

Hey Chris your build looks great. I haven't had any work done by Dutchboys myself but I'm a big fan of theirs.

Based on their track record you've made an obvious and excellent choice.

I think the whole Father - Son aspect of their business is way cool too.

When spending this kind of money on a project I'm sure it's a lot easier to sleep at night knowing talented people like them are doing the work.

I'll be following this thread closely!!!

Chris you have chosen some top craftsman for this build at all stages no doubt.:D

Those little things do add up especially when they are top of the line stuff :G-Dub:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...20Build/99.jpg

Way to go Chris. Car looks great and is in great hands! Pick your shops like you pick your friends and they'll always have your back.

That last 20% = 70% of the build :)

And what's up with that Torino guy posting pics of his parts in your thread? :wrongforum: :popcorn2: lol...

Hey Thanks for checking it out! Yes Dutchboys do great work and I will be super happy to say I had them do this stage of the work, and yes its way easier to not worry about the car when you are lucky enough to have quailty shops doing the alot of the work. I have been pretty lucky to have meet alot of great guys here and a ton of great info to figure out what I wanted and where to get it done right the 2nd time around, first time was a shame!

I am looking forward to getting this project ready for final assembly and running so I can get it out and start having fun with it and getting out to meet more people from the site!

Hey Rob,
I was glad to find these guys to help make this car what I want! I have been lucky to have a good job for the funding and a very understanding wife!

The little things do add up fast and there is much you don't even think of! I am just glad I had access to those connectors in that pic at a very good discount!

Ron,
You are right on picking the shops as I have made some great new friends in this whole process!

I won't give that Torino guy any **** for posting pics of MY parts in my thread! :D I guess you just missed that pic?? :poke: :D :thumbsup:

Glad you guys like the car!

Chris

Ain't that the truth Ron!

Love the progress Chris. Looking good.

looking good Chris,I have heard alot of good stuff about these guys work

A few updates on Chris' car, We have been super busy at the shop lately and have made some great progress on the car. The car is finally ready for the bodywork stage. We have been fine tuning gaps all around the car. Getting the front sheet metal fitting perfectly. Which took a bit of work. Along with re-leading the roof/qtr seems, also doing some smoothing and tucking on the bumpers and any other Misc fab work that needed to be done. Time to make is pretty now!:gitrdun:

Here is a link to some photos ive been taking along the way. Look for some of the bodywork stage coming up soon.

Looking good. I'm looking forward to getting down to your shop and helping Chris wiring it up.

We need a flickr account update for that 70 Nova build thread.:thumbsup:

Looks great Paul, sorry I didn't make to check out the shop last month when I was in MI, ended up with 11 hr days every day where I was at.
