Thanks. I always wanted a BB427 camaro back in the day, so I could not resist now. Next project will have an LS.

Thanks Rick, they are Rushforth SuperSpoke's. Had to stick to a budget, so aftermarket subframe, minitub's and 4-link rear suspension was out.

I get you on the budget, it's so easy to let it get out of hand that's for sure!

Yah I need a fix too!

Jay Hilliard 01-31-2013 07:11 PM

I will post pics but got the grill, front bumper installed. Checked all electrical, gauges etc and all is working correctly. Tonight I started engine.....woohoo! I have stereo, charge AC, exhaust and interior left to do all with a few odds and ends. Getting very close.

Ron in SoCal 01-31-2013 07:34 PM

Way to go Jay! Very exciting time in a build :cheers:

Thanks for the picks Jay, WOW, :thumbsup: words can't describe how nice this car is, excellent job :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Hoping to get up to see it soon maybe when you get started on the interior, are you going the stock direction for the Int as well, Beautiful car Jay

Jon69RagTop 02-01-2013 07:46 AM

Outstanding
 
I normally just look at pics, but felt compelled to congratulate you on a beautiful car. Nicely done, I love the color combination and wheel choice. Your car will surely stand out every where you go.

Jonathan

Jay Hilliard 02-01-2013 08:13 AM

More pics
 
Thanks Keith and Jonathan for the compliments. :thankyou: I could not wipe the smile off my wife's face last night when the engine started. I had almost forgot but was quickly reminded it was her car! :D
Interior will resemble somewhat stock but have you wondering whats different. Staying simple with interior, not over the top.

Screamin Performance Kick panels
 
I have started installing audio and recently purchased Screamin Performance's kick panels. They are very nice pieces and fit nicely. They clear DSE dash with no issues and also do not interfere with dimmer switch. Very impressed with fit and finish of these panels.

Nice, with so many over the top builds out there, One forgets how truly stunning a clean big block '69 with a nice color combo can be. Well done sir.

Jay, car is looking really good, great colors!

michaelh440 02-15-2013 07:45 AM

Just Awesome
 
Just went through this whole thread and I'm just amazed! What an awesome build. Make's me wish I was closer to NC. My car needs some Dan love as well.

Great job on this car. As others have said, it's the right amount of flash with the right amount of understatement. Love that color as well.

Michael
