Compared to the welds and finish on the rest of the frame the crap I did looks too good. Besides it's just another Camaro driver. :lol:

I compared the factory welds and fit on this frame to the one in my car and it's amazing how sloppy this one is compared to the other. I'd like to see a video of the actual production facilities to have a better understanding......just because. :)

Once it gets blasted and painted it will look real purdy. :D

The car is going to get delivered to my garage tomorrow night with the sheet metal off so I can mount the carb, fit plug wires, guages, etc. then vital fluids and 20 minute break-in at 2K rpm and discolor my new Doug's headers. :(

If everything goes well it will go back to the shop for sheet metal installation and insurance inspection/approval. :thumbsup:

Thanks, they're appreciated. :thumbsup:

PS - The entire machine shop bill for tearing it down and installing new valve springs, new rod and crank bearings, rings, lifters, ball hone, cam regrind, Felpro gaskets, etc. and reassembly was $906. Can't decide if I'm scared or estactic. :_paranoid

Dude that IS scary cheap. But I am guessing you didn't just take it to some Joe you didn't vet.

Old School machine shop straight across the street from the bodyshop. Caldwell Automotive and Machine established in their current location on Main St. since 1981.

I should also add that Jeff's price included Joe Gibbs break-in oil. :thumbsup:
