Mario I've been off the radar for a few but this was the first place I stopped when I was able to get back on the net. Glad to see you are making some great progress.

Keep at it brother. I can't wait to see it!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Well I finally removed the floor from the old dog ! And that revealed a new surprise. I thought I would be able to save at least the inner rockers ! Well thats not going to happen. Just ordered new full rockers from DNR Camaro along with a complete new dash. I finished up my ''custom cowl jig'' so the cowl can come out this week. It's not a work of art but it works. I'm going to make some refrence points for the rockers and remove the cross bars.Hopefully I can send it off to the blasters this week:_paranoid My shops been real busy so it cuts into my ''project time'' . Things are taking just a little longer than I thought, but it'll get done..:lateral:

Happy to see you going at it Mario. Being busy at the shop is a good thing though!!! Especially during these tough times.
Good luck with the build.:thumbsup:

Mario, I know you gonna beat this thing cuz 'da Bears are the greatest team ever!

:lol:

OOOOOOHHHH that looks so familiar!! Thats diging in !

WOW! You didn't need to shave that much weight...the BBC will have plenty of power! :faint: :lol:

BTW, Good talking with ya today!! :cheers:

Cowl fixture looks good, looks like you grabbed all the important pick up points. Nice job :thumbsup: keep at it!

Rich

:D I love it....mostly cause I know how crazy you are and how this is going to turn out.

Mike told me not to cut the cowl out without doing this first. I now realize why its so important! I'm still leary of cutting it out.

What a project! This should keep you busy for awhile. Can't wait to see the evolution.

Well I made a little more progress in the last week or so.All I have left is the cowl and its done. I've been staying a couple of hours after work to get this thing to the blaster. I started preping the new parts for installation ,put new tips on my resistence welder so all will be ready to go when it comes back.I'm hoping it goes back together as easy as it came apart:_paranoid .

Mario --

Putting them back together is almost exactly the same.... only different. :rofl:

What took you 15 minutes to take apart - can take 2 days to get right - going back together. Enjoy the ride. :cheers:

WOW! I think you will have the cheepest blasting bill yet! :faint:

:lol: I here ya Greg !!!! I already put a advance in the F-BOMB jar:D

I hope so Tony! But $500.00 and up seems to be the magic number for these car, Will see......

This build thread has a light, breezy feel to it.

BTW --- Remind me to never store my "projects" under a tarp.

Glad to see your making progress Mario. It will come back all shiny and new...
Are you stripping all the EDP off the parts?

Yes I will be taking all the oe edp off .. I don't want any surprises down the road .. Besides Mike would kill me if I left it on..

Looks awesome Mario! Cant wait for you to get this thing all done so it can be seen tearing up chicagoland!

Killer stance. :rofl:

the very rare Fred Flinstone mod those new baer 6s brakes aint got nothing on you.

Keep on truckin' Mario!:thumbsup:

Good one Todd! lol

Todd........... You kill me !!!!:lol:

hahaha

You're a brave man Doom. If someone made that inner structure you wouldn't even need a donor car!

-Dave

Actually Year ONE does offer a complete inner side...

Updates?

Well thats it, all ready for the blaster.Took out the cowl yesterday .I found some minor issues on the right lower A pillar but nothing that can't be fixed.It looks a little scary with all this sheet metal removed..Just happy to start putting parts back on soon..:willy:

Is the wife questioning you yet? At least she has seen the car now! :lol:

Its funny these cars get taken down to where there is more metal in the braces holding them than is left from the car.lol

Oh it's good so far. She's happy the garage is going to empty out:D

You said it Wayne! As I said before, it was'nt bad coming apart. But I know the party is going to start when it goes back together..:D

Well its off to the blaster, whats left of it! You could imagine the comments when I arrived there..... The owner looked at the back of the flat bed and ask ''where is the Camaro!'' And thats just one of um... I took a beating for about 15 minutes from some of the other workers. I will have it back Friday.:willy: Can't wait.....

Hope you asked him for a discount...:unibrow:

What - pray tell - are you going to get back?

A bag of sand?

:rofl:

It will be fun to work on it after Friday -- all clean -- no rust -- and she starts going back together.:thumbsup:

Holy "Should Have Called Dynacorn" Batman! :thumbsup:

Greg don't you start!:lol:

lol Talk about a "skeleton". :_paranoid
Keep us posted Mario!:cheers:

Your in for it now if Grag gets started on you. lol
You have to do like I do grin and bear it, and think of the finnished car you'll have when your done.

You mean you have to go back and pick it up?
I would of waited, I mean they should of been able to blast that in 20 minutes. There isn't much work. If they charge you more than a 30 pack of bud you got taken. LOL
