Long Overdue Update!!
 

Hello Everyone!

It's been a long time for a update and sometimes I am not very good at keeping up. Joe and Paul have been working there Dutchboy magic on the Camaro project. I have a ton of pics to post so will require a few post I think.
They have moved the car from bare metal to painting it this week! I won't bore anyone with the details of each step as I myself can't even keep up with all the steps!:headscratch: But I am loving the end results:excited:
The car looks great so far and can't wait to keep it rolling along. Some of my pics are out of order and not all that great of pics with the crappy camera I now have since my good one died!
Well here are some pics!

thats great updates Chris,these guys do super nice work and bet you will be happy with the end results so post more pics asap,you are building a very nice car:thumbsup:

More Pics
 

Some more pics! I have a bunch more pics but can't get them to post due pics being to large. I need to figure out how to resize them. I guess my crappy cell phone take pics that are to big. I will get them all posted to my photobucket account and post a link for it.
Here is a link for photo bucket http://s1134.photobucket.com/user/b7...Camaro%20Build

Looks fantastic, is that black or dark green?

It's the orginal Fathom Green, with some stripes coming.

Chris I cheated and looked at your pics,great looking job:trophy-1302:

Chris as I said on F-book very nice, Paul and Joe are doing a great job on this as always!!

Thanks guys, The whole crew here at the shop has been working really hard on every little detail big and small to get this thing into paint. It really turned out great. The car has come along ways, And is starting to really take shape. Looking forward to seeing some parts going back on this one. :gitrdun:

Here are a few pictures from last night, We just finished up spraying the shell.

Sweet ride!

Gotta love Fathom Green!!!

Big step Chris. This car will be stellar! :thumbsup:

:wow: I Love that color and the body work looks stellar :drool:

Here are few pictures I finally got to post after getting them sized right. I guess the guys at Dutchboys were painting misc parts today and got the firewall all painted and here are a couple pics!
I am so pumped to go see it tomorrow!:headspin: :thumbsup:

Last of the new pictures I have right now.

Love the color. :thumbsup:

I'm digging that color!

Thanks Jeff! I really like you car and the way its turning out. I am taking an idea from your build with FatMat!
Glad you like it Rick and thanks for keeping up on the FB page. And yeah Joe and Paul have done a steller job! Billy also did a good job.
Yes Dutchboys have made the vision come to life!Thanks looking forward to getting it going.

Thanks Greg! I always wanted a Daytona Yellow or Hugger Orange, but when my wife bought this car for me almost 10 yrs ago for Christmas as a surprise and it was green I was not sure but then more I looked around and seen this color the more I liked it. And the color is not seen as much as other classic colors on the Camaro.
Ron, This is a HUGH step along a long road! The car is really coming together I am glad I stuck with the project even though is has had to go on hold a few times it's going to be worth it!! Glad you like it so far
Thanks I am really happy with the color choice and also that everyone seems to like it. Paul, Joe and there crew have done a great job!Thanks!
I am really liking the color now that it's on also. I debated a long time on color due to the fact that it's one of those things you can't change with a turn of a wrench. In the end I made the right choice sticking with the cars original color

This thing is really looking good. You picked the right place to go to with Billy @ B&B, everything I have seen from him is top notch and he is great to deal with customer service wise. I've only heard good things about your painter also.

Great work by all. I'm sure you are excitied to get it finished!

Looks like Fathom Green. One of the only greens I like.

Thanks Casey yes I got hooked up with the right guys!
Yes Mike,Fathom Green it is!

A few pics from today
 

I went and took a look at the car and love what they have done! Here are a couple pics!

Last of the new pictures for today. Now I have to head to work for the weekend and make sure all our UPS jets are flying so you all can get your Christmas gifts and car parts!
This weekend will be fun with weather!

Here is what I am headed to for the weekend at work! :ups: UGGG!!
Everyone have a great weekend!!

geez, be safe out there. it looks cold



camaro looks awesome

Great looking color!

I have the AutoRad set up as well on my 68 Chevelle SS and I must say and I am sure you agree they are a piece of art. Also expensive but well worth it

AutoRad all the way. FTW!!



Yes - expensive… so is everything else that's GREAT.



Loved your "headed to work photo"…. thanks for bringing all the stuff we buy!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

loving this build! not a very common color combination, and you're pulling it off nicely.

looking forward to seeing updates.

Cold it was and not been getting any warmer, but alot of the country knows it.
Thanks! I am really digging the color.
The Autorad set up is great worth the money for sure!
Greg,
Glad to be able to get everyone on Lat G there goodies they buy. When I started at Big Brown they told us think of every package as "grandma's cookies" because everyone loves getting her cookies! But I really know everyone here loves getting hot rod parts!:D :ups:
Thanks I am glad I did this color because its not all that common, I am trying now to figure out interior color. I am not Hugh fan of black, but not sure I want it all green either. Trying to come up with combo of both. Trying to keep with the orginal colors as much as possible but with some modern flare.

I think the original houndstooth pattern would probably look proper.

Maybe do some slightly more supportive seats with houndstooth inserts?

Yes that is sort of one of the ideas I having going on my list!

Well stopped by for a quick gander at the car today. Dutch Boys Hot Rods is full of cars! Paul is trying make room so he bolted on some parts. Here are a couple pics! The new Ultimate Headers look great and fit like a glove!

I looked at those headers --- they're awesome. I think this is the first build I've actually seen them used on.


Project is coming along really nicely. Good for you!

Thanks Jay! I will keep updates coming as we get stuff done.Thank you Greg, it feels like there is light at the end of this long tunnel!

Looks Great!

Any updates Chris?

That looks SWEET!
