67 Camaro "The Victim"

[glr0212]

Man, this car has been in the paint jail longer than mine. Mine went in Jan 16. Supposed to finally get paint on the body monday... When mine went in, 90% of the metal repair was done.

Paint work is brutal. I think it will turn out great, but I don't understand why these guys move so slow.

I think Curtis sold the car already for a $1000 profit.

Probably could've got $1750 if he waited until it was painted....


Here's to hoping you get a great Christmas update,

When did this happen? 4 months checking this thread to see how the silver turned out and he sold the car?

Not sold, just giving Curtis a hard time...

4 months is nothing, you should check out Daves build. It's a build guide on what not to do...or, how to launder money in the car world....maybe better to read it backwards...with whiskey.

Reading it backwards takes the fun out of the story, you already know who dunnit!

Curtis sold his other 'filler' project.... probably for the best.

Apparently everyone wants to know what you're doing. Once you're done with the car this thread won't get any attention.

Doh! I feel like dad just walked in now I'm in trouble... Jim, I get it and realize the time involved to do what you do, I'm sure your customers do as well....That's all that matters.
Curtis, I'll be paying attention after its painted...I'm really starting to enjoy these Camaro "kit car" builds.
