I really like how things are turning out XLexusTech. You came up with an elegant solution for the AC lines I'll probably commandeer when I get to that point. The new coil mounts cleaned up the valve covers tremendously.
Thanks man appreciate that

Default More weekends with strippers

So I expecting to find problems ... what I found on the roof with no rust whatsoever...(that brown is primer) thought the tail panel was going to be screwed ...what I found was instead of pulling out a few dents with a stud gun someone just put brondo over the low points (1/4" thick is a few spots) so great news overall no rust no need to replace tail pan... will hit it with 36 grit before I ship it to a body shop

Camaro getting the Bare metal treatment. The only thing left with any paint on it is the hood... it may not seem like much but getting a 50 year old car from the north east to a point were it's all steel no rust no filler is tough. Lots of hrs of cutting welding and grinding to get o this point. #HotRodPowerTour2017
