Went to the garage took a couple of pics of how it sit right now, just a couple to see,


The back



The Front



The hood next to 2 fridges, dont ask,



C6 parts all wrapped up!

That all right now, next week I think I'll finish the hinges and paint the mirrors, something at least,

Notice the compressor tucked between the fridges, and the surfboards in the back, I'll be using one of those tomorrow,

Man it is so good to hear you drug the Camaro out of storage and you are already working on it, Awesome. All of our threads are dead in the water! I will have a small something to add to mine next week but it has been like a ghost town since I got her running. I check my subscriptions about twenty times a day hoping someone is doing something to their cars and usually its nothing. Can't wait to see the progress and finally some pics!

Did you finish the mini-tubs? The more I see them the more I want them. I may end up going with AMD's so I don't have to cut the framerails. DSE had a 69 Camaro in their shop last weekend that was running a 345 tire with clearance! And the car was lowered over them!!!

Thanks guys, got a line on another GM spoiler, mine has 6 coats of paint, 2 spots where the studs went through the glass, one area where the stud mounts is completely ripped off, needs some work,

still looking for a job, nice to see employers change the job classifications after you apply, and I dont' want to sell life insurance!!!!

Started a little work on the Nova yesterday, welded up some holes in the trans tunnel and made a patch for the old 4 speed hole, adding some POR 15 after that then Dynamat Xtreme, install the old carpet(don't want to put new carpet then ruin it with body work) bolt in the Scat Pro-car Rally 1000's.

I might start a thread, eventually do a 5.3 turbo in it,
