Sweet. Prob stop by tomorrow around noon to check it out and get some pics before heading to buddies place. Wanted to give them a few days before going back. Don't want to become the annoying customer.

Well decided to give them a couple days to work on it and what a transformation the car has made! Went up there Saturday before heading to a friends house that's down in the area. Met NVRDUN as he was there tinkering with his 71 Nova. You can see it in a few of the pictures to follow...Not sure why he doesn't have a build thread on here. Really cool car and very cool plans for it.

On to the pics!
Had Roy rebuild the tired stock hinges so the doors will function better than ever before. Never realized how worn they were until we had them off!




It looks like a car again! Very excited to see these panels going back on. They're still fitting them and they fit "ok." AMD makes a nice panel and fitment is pretty good on them, but as always, some work will need to be done to get them "right."












I will keep updating this thread. Probably give them a couple days unless I get excited on Monday and head over there after work. Probably swing by middle of the week at the latest to see how progress is doing. Still need to take them the floor panels so they can patch in the sections needed to get rid of the minor rust issues there.

Wow nice progress! They're moving right a long. Very Nice.

YEP! There is still a lot of work to do. They quoted 3 weeks and I think there is little doubt that they'll meet that mark. We're starting week 2 of it being at their shop.

After the quarters are finished, the rest of the work should go quickly.

Heading up to the shop today so I SHOULD have more pictures ready. Going to talk to them about bringing the floor pans up. My trailblazer has been waiting on parts for the past 2 weeks so not looking like I'll have it back before the weekend...

Eventually I'll have it back...

Not the big question is do I sell my current 2010 SS to help fund this project. Certainly would be nice to have the cash out of that car. Could go a long way towards finishing this car...

hey William, just checking out your thread. glad you are happy with everything on the car. Its going to be a great project. Hope to have you back home with your baby next week!

Yea sorry for lack of updates to the thread for anyone following. Been busy at work so haven't had time to go by and when I do I don't have my camera!

Right now the car has:

• Quarter panels installed/completed
• Tail panel installed/completed
• Upper fill panel installed/completed
• Trunk pan patched/completed
• Outer wheel housings installed/completed
• minitubs installed/completed
• Toeboard patched/completed (had dented in area by where clutch fork was)
• Transmission patch panel installed/completed
• Dash patch installed/completed
• Front roof patch installed/completed
• Driverside door patch installed/completed

What is left?

• Trunk lid is being fit to the panels and gapped. Almost completed.
• Passenger door patch
• DSE shock cross member
• DSE quadralink brackets
• rear roof panel patch work
• Floor patch panels

Car is moving along great. VERY happy with the work that's been done by Camaro Concepts.

I believe they'll fit the trunk and do the rear roof section, then the car will go on the rotisserie for the floor/suspension work. I'll try to go and get pictures of the car Friday to show how it sits and post updated pictures.
