bill bill bill,i khow your excited about all that torque,with the fat motor an all,easy on that thing till you get some miles on it.the wife is pushing me on her 68 camaro,she wants something with power.looks like your almost finished with vented.ready to shoot another f body for me?:lol: after all i want to do something that doesn't require chalk markings ,an the right bolts in all the right spots.car looks bad dude.

shawn,shawn,shawn it sounded to good to stay out of. i swear that was only on on fast idle.lol bill

few more assy pics. check out the soft touch clear on the flats. the gray semi gloss is called soft touch it feels like velvet but is tough as nails. almost ready to ship to the upholstry shop.(helmans auto upholstry) eric already has most of the seats done the tough part is going tobe covering the hard tonneau cover. i have complete faith in them thell' git er done' bill

looks great! that soft touch, is that Duponts version of swade?

i dont know any thing a bout duponts suede , but we all know they all sell the same proudcts but call them something diff. this clear was actually devloped in the commercial coatings line but then converted to vibrance . if they offer it in the commercial line you know it has to be tough. it really does feel like velvet. ( and yes my wife had to try to prove them wrong on my test panels and tryed to scratch it, she couldent" and she has nails. lol bill

just another update. im down to only needing to paint & install bumpers and hood. then ill be ready to start puting miles on her.i have about 5 or 6 people a day stopping in to check progress Because theve heard about this car ,just through word of mouth the reaction is always the same "holy sh--" i cant wait untill ocean city. bill

few mroe progress pics. my progress is slowing due to base ball (every night) the total man hours so far on this car is in the neighborhood of 700 hr . im going to wrap every thing up within the next couple of weeks. its been a cool build and have had a lot of fun posting my progress. this will be my last update until totally done . see you in oc or colombus ,thanks bill

amsleys 69 camaro convertable (almost done pics)
 

heres a few more pics. ive put about 130 miles on it in the last 2 days, i would like to have 500 miles before i drive to oc. im running a 308 rear (i know why so high?, but it was in the car) and i really like how long it pulls between gears. its real fun to drive! ill be dropping it at the upholstry shop next week.

Great looking car! Thanks for the pics and updates! -Rob

thanks for the positive fedback. i will have the car totally done by the end of the week and will post some good pics. a collector who bought a previous car of mine stopped in today and expressed serious intrest in buying the car after columbus and a few other shows. i told him i wanted to put 2500 miles of fun on it first. so my wheels are turning about my next build. bill
