came out great JJ. Glad you went through with it.

Thanks guys... cutting the hood and nose pieces.

Finally getting the engine and trans together this week, to stab it in for the first/last time, I hope.

Have a bunch of work to do Saturday and Sunday on this.

I also got to organize the trailer that most of the parts have been stored in.

The body should be together this time next week, with the all the hard parts bolted in... then we start plumbing and wiring.


BTW, we wet sand from 400 grit all the way to brown paper bag, in between every coat of paint or clear. Then buff the living heck out of it.

5 coats of color, 5 coats of clear. Paper thin paint. Black in depth, is not easy.

I also ordered an adjustable rear sway bar for this. Anyone want a DSE 5th gen Camaro rear sway bar?

Set for tomorrow.

Sweet !

So, a bit of thrashing from 8am to 1pm today.

Motor and trans is in. Have to cut the shifter opening back 2.5".

Got the gas tank in, headers on, started lining stuff up.

Thinking I need an electric brake booster... can't find the hydro one I had and not a fan of more hydraulic hoses.

Would have had the full coated exhaust on, but the rear sway bar needs a narrower torsion rod.

Looks like you will make cruisin downtown Manchester this year... Can't wait to see it in person

You made some nice progress today. Glad to see it moving so fast.
