Quick update after Thanksgiving holiday break..


Day before Thanksgiving, got to see it in the sun for the first time.


Got the grill back in



Almost hated putting Dynamat on a floor that looks this good...


Got to put the quarter windows in before Applying the Dynomat here. Got them in and just need to adjust...



Got my Lokar pedals back in



Had to take a break before Thanksgiving to smoke some turkey and ribs...



Friday, after Turkey day, got my cheap labor to roll the Dynomat...


and got some wiring done...



Almost done with the Dynomat...



Popped an old factory rear interior panel on to check spacing for the new window felts.



Quarter windows adjusted and felt molding in and fitting better than factory.



More to come... Thanks for lookin' again! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Have not been able to do much work on it in the last 3 weekends between Christmas and work, except mount the front wheels on...until today...

Had to take the grill out to work on more of the wiring.



Was able to wire up and reinstall my dash panel and get most of the interior wiring completed...




It was a bit cloudy out today, but it was still shinin'...




That's about it for today. Got to work Monday and Tuesday and then Christmas will take over for a couple days. Hopefully, I can get back on it right after Christmas. Hope ya'll have a Merry Christmas until then!

The backs are 19X12 with 5.5 inch backspace. Tires are 345/40 ZR19 Nitto Invo's. It is a TCI 4- Link in the back with minitubs that Camaro Concepts did one hell of a job on. It is easy to take apart too. I have had the rear suspension out twice since it was done and had it out in 30-40 minutes.

The front are 18X8's with a standard backspace. Tires I went with 245/40's.

Thanks everyone for the complements! I was saying the other day what I like about this the most is it is like starting with a blank canvas and I put it back together the way I want. It is nerve-racking working on it. I use lots of tape and blankets when working on it. I don't want to put the first scratch on it yet! No one wants to get near it either, but I'm sure I 'll get some help when I am ready to drop the motor back in it.

Wow man just getting back to this thread and I've missed a LOT! VERY impressed with the work you've got accomplished and that paint job is KILLER! I've heard Marcel does good work. Tim (GAP) has recommended him to a few people I know.

I am not in that area anymore. Currently living in Spring Branch but likely to move back up north a little bit next year (Jersey Village maybe).

Where are you located? I'd love to come check out the car! Cant wait to see it completed and rolling around. Lot of nice first gens being built right now in the Houston area!

Keep up the good work and keep the updates coming!
