Looking real good!

Alex

DANG! :yes:

Chris, looks great. I really like the stripes. Hopefully I will make it to sema to see it.
Lenie

Looks awesome.

Lots of long nights ahead of you but I can assure you once you see that thing in that booth, it will all be worth it.

Can't wait to see it. Good luck.

You have to be pumped.

The paint, wheels... everything really matches great.

Looking forward to seeing this one at SEMA!! Color combo is :thumbsup:

That is a nice color combo. You don't see too many of those colors on cars.
LOOKS GOOD!!:thumbsup:

Beautiful! Clean, perfect color combo. Well done! I won't be at SEMA, so I expect to see some full shots of it when you return:cool:

Looks great, do you know where your going to be yet?

where will it be

Looks awesome Chris, engine compartment looks really clean. :thumbsup:

SEAM location
 

thanks for all the compliments- I have two goals in mind

- getting it loaded on the trailer

- meeting all of you guys at the LAT-G party

your compliments and monster energy drinks keep me going!!

I am told to have the car at the parking lot Sunday between 1 and 4 and they will tell me where to put it- it will most likely be in the foyer or outdoors somewhere..wherever they tell me:D - Chris

Take my advise, get there EARLY, a few hours before they say you can be there. The early bird will get somewhat better placement or you can end up invisable.

Frank I have to disagree with that, we have been there every year late and had the best spots, last year we were right by the door and the following year we were the back drop for the Meguiers TV show so our car was on all week. I understand how it works and for us the last three years we were late and did better, previous we were always early and got shafted in the parking lot so you could not even see the car. Its vegas so its a crap shoot either way

Thanks Frank- we are leaving Portland Sat morning..might want to leave earlier- Chris

A crap shoot is exactly correct Chris. Same for us, early and late, been screwed and honored both ways. Bill and Steve got there really early with Bills GTO and got the main door, you had to trip over the thing to get in the building! Next year we got our out door buried, many could not even find us! Lucky we had one in a booth to, people could find us and we could take them to the outside car.

I will do outside spots anymore. No booth, no go for us, unless it is REALLY easy on us. I realize when your taking a bakers dozen like you are some will be outside.

Either way it is a HUGE honor just to be on the property.

You are correct, make sure you guys come by our booth in Hot Rod Alley and check out all the new parts we will have on display. Good luck on your journey to all that have to drive trucks and trailers.

just put your hinges on last night>>very nice product:thumbsup:

Sweet
 

Looking good Chris. I see you got the Fesler hinges okay, glad to see that.

See you at SEMA. All the hard work will definitely pay off when the car is there, you will be very proud.

Thanks Jon- DriverzInc. and Rushforth wheels made it all possible- Thanks Jason for the hookup to SEMA:cheers:

It's looking awesome Chris!! Can't wait to see it!!

I'm stoked for you, Buddy! Looking forward to seeing it in all it's glory at the show.

that hockey stripe looks KILLER!!!

Looks great. Colors and wheels flow very well. In a world where just about everything has been done on a first gen camaro this one really stands out to me. A very good balance as in not too much and not enough. Very classy!You guy's should be proud :thumbsup:

Thanks- it's hard to be different with a first Gen. I was just going to do a black with red interior car because of the movie- "better off dead" but then Jason got this idea about silver w/ red

Fire In The Hole
 

just started it for the first time about midnight- thank God for cool neighbors!! - huh :unibrow: :unibrow: with open headers:_paranoid

sounds killer-

Glad you like them they go very well with your colors.

More pics mang!:cheers:

Thanks Tom! That was the idea so I'm glad you "get it". Unique 1st gen without exploding the budget. Done and done!

Nice work guys! :cool:

Chris & Jay....its nice to see a local home builder make it into the show!! :cheers: :woot: :lateral:

Another late night- started the car last night at midnight--

today was more assembly and cut- buff--lots of help from friends and J-Rod crew..lots of work still but its coming along

thanks again for the encouragement:D

my boy JayR doing something important:_paranoid

Looks killer out in the sun!! :thumbsup:

Wow, I think thats great you got Jay R working with you. Great People in Tacama.

That was a long day but we got a ton of work done and with it spread around, I was able to mess with little detail pieces Chris wouldn't have allowed himself time to do which allowed him to run wire and some "heavy lifting" and then the guys from www.j-rodandcustom.com came over and gave an 8 hour tutorial in wetsanding and buffing indoor show style in exchange for some good laughs, energy drinks and pizza and she's looking good!

absolutely killer!!!!!!! jay did a good job of giving you the retro but still modern look. wheels, paint..... it all looks awesome. good job!

Thrashing to make it for SEMA! Right on.... car is looking good! :thumbsup:

How many designers do you know will get out there and actually help on the car? Good on you JayR! And kudos to J-Rod and crew for contributing to the cause! Awesome people all around.

:faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :

that pretty much says it- its amazing how little sleep the bosy can function on- Interior tonight- exhaust tomorrow- Chris---yah i know - pics will be coming:_paranoid

Looking good. I see some VERY late nights in your near future! Good luck with it.
