I'm with you! after being gray for a decade plus its looking pretty good. I can't wait to see it up close and in person. Years ago, when I bought it - was a parts car for a Camaro I had then, I found out body wise was in much better shape decided to for Pontiac and sold the Camaro. I'm a couple weeks away from bringing it home and going forward with the rest of the build, But I still haven't made up my mind on seats.

still need to install rest of front end- valance, bumper, headlight mounts, batwing, I'm being told it should be back in my shop next weekend guess I need to make room for it lol
long way to go still: glass, interior, tires/wheels

[ZMAN1969]

its home now, time to get organized and all of the rest of the parts needed to assemble. its nice to see as a complete car

Note: does anyone have an interior assembly list? - you know as in order
I've shot myself in foot before

complaints:
1) they let battery discharge/Die over last 1.5 years - its dead as a doornail, was fine when he picked up. Fine I can deal with this

2) It runs like crap says it loaded up cyl running it w/o MAF/air intake hooked up - hope it just needs plugs

3) I expressed my concerns of wanting nice body gaps from the git go and most is OK - except the trunk Ugh

front end isn't assembled as it was supposed to be
body guy says hell comeback when I get new headlight cushions to assemble and I just hope its gonna fit nice

I just ordered around 2k in parts for this mostly exterior trim.
on the spark plugs- Jeeze I had new NGKs in this, whgen got it back had 4 ND plugs 4 Delco's and 2 were gasketed plugs - WTH? body man didn't say a word about that he swapped them, it does need a tune done and I'm looking for local or mobile tuner

little progress I bought all new glass-Grey tinted and headliner needed to go first so we did it,(I know its not completed yet rear tack strips are backordered for years) then had glazer over for frt and rear glass install, funny I cant remember if this has ever had them in, under my ownership. Thats the problem with 20 year projects!

Progress is Progress and don't worry all of my friends this I have fear of finishing my car.

I've always loved this paint scheme in the 69 Trans Am.
