Marty, hanging out with Kenny you must of forgot how to read. It will be getting all new suspension, new tires and wheels and the LT4 engine with an overdrive tranny.

Glad you all like the way it turned out. Worked on the engine today getting it ready.

I will keep posting pictures as things progress.

Thank you so much for making me laugh. I guess that were all used to seeing the prebuild with suspension on the car.

ps still working on picture books I'll keep you posted when I get to the books with small print.

Marty, I know it was a little backwards but when the painter has the opening you must take it as you know.

NOMARO soon to be lowered!!!!

Ed,


I was going to offer the use of my shop which has built in chain hooks in the floor for pulling things down.

It looks pretty good considering it needs close to 3" of altitude adjustment.

I've heard a lot of negative comments about the outcome of the car as it's very hard to visualize the appeal even with renderings until you see it near completion and/or in person. It was quite the leap of faith you took and I'd have to say it's going to bury a lot of the negative comments.

Sieg, I have to agree with you, I was/am one of the negative though people, I personal don't like cross breeding. The idea sounded goofy, but now in paint, really looks nice, the craftsman ship is great.
It takes a lot of guts to take a chance like this and it paid off.

Mike and Sieg,
Glad you both like the outcome, yes it is going down about 3" to 4" to get the look I am wanting. I talked with Bret at RideTech today about the coil overs from him so I can get the stance needed along with the performance. I want to keep the look like GM would of done from the factory or as a concept car.
Motor will be painted chevy orange with aluminum valve covers and use the cowl air cleaner on the fuel injection so it looks some what factory. I am also looking at the American Racing Rally wheels in a 18" and 19" for the larger brakes but still keep the factory Rally wheel look.

Interior is going with a set of 69 Camaro deluxe bucket seats covered with the black and white houndstooth and stock SS nova door panels in black with the Camaro center console and horse shoe shifter. Gathering the rest of the parts now and will keep updating this thread.

Thanks for all the comments.
