Dawg, The subframe connectors will be the last thing going on per the instructions you sent......

"the subframe connectors should be one of the last components installed on your vehicle. Reason being is you want the vehicle settled with all of it’s own final weight. The car’s body is always in constant tension, with forces pushing or pulling within the chassis & body. You want to make sure these forces don’t change after you install the subframe connectors. For example, if you installed subframe connectors before installing the engine and body panels this may result in having misaligned fenders, door panels and/or hood later on. The car must be in it’s final state before the subframe connectors are installed."

David, what exhaust are you using? Looks almost like a Gardner but modified for headers. Nice to see that you didn't decide to go with one of those 'big' flowmaster-type systems. The transverse muffler just looks so right on 1st gen Camaros. Well, I guess because it IS right.

Do you ever visit CT Mike? Any relatives here? Do you ever go to any CT car shows? It would be cool to meet up when the COPO car is done.

Oh man...you're good Jeff and you're exactly right.....it's a Gardner. I saw a real COPO restored by the Supercar Workshop and they had pictures online of the Gardner system they used. I sent the picture to Gardner and said "I want that".

Mike Labrecque modified it for the headers.

also....I'm fairly certain that the gas tank straps are supposed to be black, so I stopped in today and asked Mike to make them black.
