Hey guys,

Long time lurker... but since I am finally close to getting my baby back on the road, I figured I would share some build photos.

I've owned her for 17+ years and finally figured she needed the "21st century" updates. An LS2, new Baer brakes, DSE suspension, etc, etc... That ought to make her a great driver!

Yeah Eric,

You want to talk about disappointed when I pulled the dash pad and cowl:brix: But, the work had to be done if the car was to be put back together correctly.

Brian @ ScreaminPerformance is a master fabricator. He has built jigs that hit all the factory points. He rigs them before he cuts so that when the welding begins, he has it perfectly aligned. He is a die hard Camaro guy. Some of the stuff he "saves" and brings back to life would scare mere mortals :hail:

Well, it's been a while since an update... I've been very busy with world-events and Brian has been very busy with many other projects around the shop...

Since it's Veteran's Day and I have time off, I figured it was time to "post-up".
