Good to have it back home again. It's raining like crazy here so I'll unload tomorrow after work. Here's a couple of shots to get you warmed up.

Your Camaro is turning out great. Nice tie down system too.

Here's some better shots with it outside the trailer.....felt it was appropriate to include a little American Pride in the one shot.

For those following this thread you know I'm committed to "transparency" about this car and also have been overly obsessive about the trim tag. Well, when the heavy layer of black Imron paint was carefully removed, we found that the tag looks like it got hit with a sandblaster. The PO that painted it black back in 1978 told me he sandblasted the firewall. Oh well, it is what it is, now y'all don't have to wonder about it.

Great car and flags!!

The tag is not that bad, one can tell it is real.

You guys like pics right? Can't help myself....pushed it outside yesterday to do some re-arranging in the garage and just had to take a few shots of the paint with some sunshine on it - really makes the LB pop.

IMO no better color on a camaro than Lemans blue! Please keep the pics coming.

Got started on re-assembly today with my brother. Got the fuel tank, brake line, fuel line, axle snubbers, and shocks mounted. The tank is new (original is hanging on the wall with a few minor dents), but re-installed the original vibration dampening strips, wire pad, wire, tank straps, and sending unit. Shocks are NOS 1970 dated HiJackers

Fuel and brake lines are repro but clips, bolts, snubbers, brake distribution block, and fuel cap are original to this car. Installed the Norwood water test tape under the shock mounts and rear subframe bolts.
