I too have always loved the 1st and 2nd gen Camaros and ended up with a second Chevelle. Think our kids will appreciate the added room in the back


BTW did you buy or make your center console?

I've seen your project on here before - very cool. Yeah pretty stoked on the Chevelle for the family, I am literally within days of taking it home and my boys and I are chomping at the bit (wife too... kinda). I am sure your car is a load of fun when it's under boost - maybe in my next life.

The console was made by the guy who did the upholstery, Mark Lopez at Elegance Auto Interiors.

Anyway thanks for the support and the compliments - take care!

Wow!
I did not realize that it had been this long since I posted an update! I got the car running in late January and was able to finally take it home. I have been driving the hell out of it. Overall I am really pleased with the car and the way it came out. The guys at Best of Show dialed me in - and I couldn't of asked for a better result then what I got. I added some pics... long overdue.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the thumbs up guys. Got it over to the Del Mar Good Guys with some help from Matt A, Dick and Jon from Best of Show. Looking forward to a fun weekend. If anyone is going, it's in the Budnik booth in the main hall. I will be trying my luck at the Autocross at the next show.

Nice meeting you at Del Mar. The car looks even better in person
