Yeah I have stared at it daily. I have the rendering as a screen saver and the poster board that Kaucher sent me on my wall in my office.

I have to say that every aspect of the car has exceeded all my expectations. Keep in mind I have not seen it in person with the front end on with the drop spindles and aired it and have not seen it in person with the stripes or wheels finished. I have to say Chris totally nailed it. Stance is exactly what I wanted.

I know, I am biased but some of the comments overheard today just put a big fat smile on my face.

I heard all the typical adjectives along with a "They slaughtered that Camaro". To each their own, I don't care. It's mine and I love it.

Chris did mention that Fesler came by several times yesterday. Asking a lot of how did you type questions. He noticed that the front fenders were widened 2 inches and that the rear quarters were also pushed out 2. I haven't mentioned that before and it is really interesting seeing who can pick things like that out and who can't. He even came back with a tape measure and measured it then went over and measured another 69, shook his head and walked off.

I also got several complements from Scott @ SDS Machining with the 67 G90 Camaro. His is so much nicer in person. As with mine, the pictures just cant do it justice. Scott mentioned today that he got an invite to Columbus to be included in the SMOTY running. He deserves it.

There were people taking pictures all day long, especially of the front end. So many people wanted to know about the grille, bumper, spoiler and how it was all done.

Im looking forward to hanging out again tomorrow. I'll get some more pics up tomorrow night or Monday.

Jeff,
Your car is AWESOME!!!!. The front and rear came out very clean. Usually the people who say "You slaughtered that camaro" are just jealous pricks who dont have a car anyway. Those are the kind of people that dont see the amount of work it takes to build a car like that.

While I was standing next to my car a guys looks at his friend and says "I bet a 50 year old guy whose wife cheats on him with his neighbor owns this thing" ..

Kinda comical.

[Richio1]

Thanks... Yeah I was talking with Scott about G90 and a guy walks over and asks, "is that a Firebird shell on there". We were standing right in front of his build sign with a big bold 67 Camaro on it.

It is funny to just stand there an listen to the broad range of comments people make. Some are so out there.

Or "How did you paint the stripes to look just like carbon fiber?"

Here are a few from yesterday. Still a lot of items to install, adjust and tweak. Overall couldn't be happier with how it is turning out.

Art Himsl came by and was very complementary of the paint, body and fitment. Chris was really excited since Art is one of his idols. If not familiar with Art, google him. Does amazing work.

Also had a few photographers come by expressing interest in future shoots once its done.
