^Thanks. Yes, I left the ballasts. Since I didn't add subframe connectors, I felt it was best to leave them to help dampen things a little.

looking good!

Jeff,

How much is left before you can take it out? Mike mentioned waiting for the convertible roof material.

It looks like you are very close to taking it home.

Well, there isn't all that much left. I didn't talk to Mike last week at all, but I'm assuming he got the quarter glass installed and the convertible top frame on (hopefully). Mike has a sample of the top material and is supposed to be getting a sample to confirm the new convertible top material.

The only thing holding us back is the windshield header moldings. I bought NOS moldings years ago, but the chrome was really bad and was actually peeling in places. Good thing, because the ends that wrap around and meet the wide vertical pillar moldings needed a little trimming. Anyhow, they are at the chrome shop but may not be done for another 4-6 weeks (ouch!).

Once the header moldings are back & installed, the convertible top frame can be latched & locked-down into position. This will allow final fit of the glass. Once this is done, the convertible top goes on. The bumpers and rocker trim also need to be installed.

I would say only a few weeks of work after getting the windshield header moldings back from Advanced Plating. I'm ready!!!

Did you get them back yet? How do they look? I sent my door handles to Advanced Plating two weeks ago.

When is the 68 going to be back in your garage?

First of all, my apologies for not keeping this thread up-to-date.

The car is finally home!!!! It came home this past Friday. Mike's trailer wouldn't make it up my driveway - the tail end was just too low. So, we went to plan B. Using a Y-shaped tow strap arrangement (that Mike just happened to have with him), I hooked the Camaro to the back of my pickup and towed it up the driveway.

As a side note, the 94 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD is another one of my Dad's vehicles that has made it into my possession. It only has 45k on it and it's never been driven through a New England winter. Not a spec of body rust!

I've already logged in quite a few garage hours. I have a list of stuff a mile long to do!!!

Nice!!

SWEEETTT!!!!! so why wasnt it driven into the garage? still not 100% complete?

Yeah, no exhaust, fuel tank, battery, dash switches, interior, etc. I also have to install the original rebuilt Q-Jet. No sense paying $70/hr to have the shop do it. I'm broke from the body & paint!!!!!
