Thanks guys.

This project just took another turn.

I don't like the red. Can't find one I like.

It's going deep, abyssal black, like my GMC.

In my opinion a good move. I don't like red on anything except an exotic. But we all know about opinions...
Deep black, oh yeah!!

So I got some paint on it...

May actually need a name for this.

Wow that paint looks slick! Nice job!

I am not sure what the squiggles are on the passenger side... they're not there on car.

Set for tomorrow.

So, a bit of thrashing from 8am to 1pm today.

Motor and trans is in. Have to cut the shifter opening back 2.5".

Got the gas tank in, headers on, started lining stuff up.

Thinking I need an electric brake booster... can't find the hydro one I had and not a fan of more hydraulic hoses.

Would have had the full coated exhaust on, but the rear sway bar needs a narrower torsion rod.

Thanks guys... cutting the hood and nose pieces.

Finally getting the engine and trans together this week, to stab it in for the first/last time, I hope.

Have a bunch of work to do Saturday and Sunday on this.

I also got to organize the trailer that most of the parts have been stored in.

The body should be together this time next week, with the all the hard parts bolted in... then we start plumbing and wiring.

BTW, we wet sand from 400 grit all the way to brown paper bag, in between every coat of paint or clear. Then buff the living heck out of it.

5 coats of color, 5 coats of clear. Paper thin paint. Black in depth, is not easy.

I also ordered an adjustable rear sway bar for this. Anyone want a DSE 5th gen Camaro rear sway bar?
