Hey Tom, well, I do have a newer pic with the new wheels and tires on it. Bad news on the engine though; thought I blew a head gasket, but it appears I lost an oil ring so now I'm unsure which direction to go in. I think I'm going to go with a new motor and retire this one.

Met up with Steve, the guy who helped build and paint my Camaro back in the day and he gave me some pics.

Thanks guys. It's really a strange thing, when I was talking to Steve (painter/co-builder), I asked him what happened to Norm (owner/co-builder) as he seemed fairly young (50-ish) to just pass away. I wondered if maybe he had an illness or accident, but he said there was speculation that Norm's wife poisoned him. Yikes. The speculation around the sudden death of a 50 year old guy who is otherwise healthy is normal, but to add to this, his wife's sister had poisoned her husband previously. There's probably a lot more to this story, but that part was just beyond crazy.
