It is real nice to see the progress and feels great!!! I just want to drive it...NOW.

HA. I've been thinking about that, but I'd like to keep it looking close to the real deal:

Looking sweet David! It's getting there!

Dave it looks awesome. Are you going to put the vinyl on the roof just like the pic.

Yes, on the vinyl roof.... I always like vinyl roofs. I think they make the car look finished, like it has a hat on. :)

I say black slappers lol

i say your car will be done before mine for christ sake!!! There moving along nicely now! congrats!! car looks Awesome and dont Listen to John he's a puss bag!!!

Thanks Pizza!!!

I have another set of 69 Lakewood traction bars that just need the surface rust cleaned off and need to be repainted. I could paint these black and then switch over in the future if the yellow bars look terrible.

looking good David!
I hope they get the rear lower once its finished?
It seems a bit too high?
I would also concider sub frame connectors on any first gen camaro.
Or else youll get the cracks at the rear windows.

Thanks Dawg!

I don't think Mike has the rear finished yet. I'll check with him on the final height.

For the connectors, I picked up these at Summit and Mike said he wants me to stop in tomorrow because he has some questions on them. The Summit listing says "One end needs to be welded in the other end bolts in".

instructions here David

Thanks for the instructions Dawg!! After I skimmed them, I thought Andrew might ask if I wanted the fronts bolted in or welded in....which ended up being the question. They will be welded in.

For the height.....there is no weight in it right now, things will settle out, and we are going with bigger tires on the back.

I only have one cell phone pic today:

Are you going to Marks tonight?

looks awesome man!! love all the pictures

Looks amazing!

Thanks guys!!!

For a long time this car was adding to some major depression, but it's really starting to look like a car again!!! :)

I know how you feel David! My car sat outside for 2 months before they started with the paint. Was driving me nuts seeing it sitting there.

Looking very nice!

Thanks Ron!!!

It's been 2.5 years of fighting with the car. The first place I had it did their best but this car was too much of a nightmare. Things are on the right track now and it should be loads of fun cruising around town with it. I'll keep posting pics as progress is being made.

Vinyl top is on

I never really liked vinyl tops but it fits your car with that color. I like it its sharp looking.

I bet itll be out and about in august!!!!

Thanks Dawg!!!

I hope it's ready by August. I just ordered a reproduction rear bumper from Heartbeat City since the old one is heavily pitted and rusty.

Thanks guys! The restoration is moving along quicker now. For tires, I'll probably be going with Mickey Thompson's.

NICE!

My best guess is September. They are packed for work and everyone is getting anxious for their car.
