Project status...deadline approaching!

[69MyWay]

As some of you guys know now, I am pushing to finish my 69 Camaro by the July Goodguys show in Columbus, Ohio. This was my first car my dad and I built from scraps when I was a kid. Got rid of it in 1989. Lost my dad in late 2003 and went on a search for the car. I found it about 200 miles away on the third owner. Paid WAY too much for it and brought it home. We started the rebuild in March 04 with grand plans of all sorts of different ideas with the help of Radrambler.

Fast forward to now. I have just finished the engine/trans build and mounted that in the subframe assembly. I am back on the body work. I HATE sanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having to go back and perfect the super shaved firewall and jams. If all goes well I will be spraying color on the inner panels by next weekend (that is a lofty goal).

That will allow the engine/trans to go back in and start fitting the outer sheet metal, then the final exterior body work will begin.

Working mostly alone with a new baby and a full time job...this is tough (but fun).

I decided to just KILL my credit card and hammer this thing out to make our goal. I had been spending, paying it off, then spending again.

Can you say:

($3,500 to SLP for head/cam/injectors, $3,000 to Summit for go fast goodies, $3,000 in trim, paint, etc, $2,000 for this and that, etc, etc, etc, etc, ...THE FEELING OF GETTING IT DONE ON TIME>>>>>>>Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I promise I will do a better job of updating and detailing my website once some of the project slows down a bit.


Until then........see ya out in the shop!
