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

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".
