I expect your son will feel a lot better when he sees the car again.

Even though it didn't start out so good, I enjoyed the thread.
Thanks for posting it.

I read where you mentioned the underhood insulation.

Curious if you were able to save the ORIGINAL hood pad, or was it broken/damaged in the accident.

I sell and distribute a 70-74 Camaro, reproduction hood insulation pad, that is very similar to your original.

Contact my Email at [email protected] if you need the replacement.

Tim - not sure how to approach this potentially sensitive subject (and moderators feel free to edit my controversial comments), but we have taken a poll (secret) and have determined that we are going to need to see some seriously detailed (non-phone camera) photographs of your &quot;new&quot; baby <span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 26pt">ASAP!</span> </span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

And further more (please insert &quot;real&quot; between the words &quot;without&quot; and &quot;pics&quot;)....

OK, OK, I get the message. I'll get some &quot;real&quot; pictures when I get the old car back. My pictures won't compete with those you took of your Chevelle, they're amazing.

Rus, the shop has the insulation, wish I had a line on yours before. If what they install is not good, I'll order some from you. The original was torn up from the accident. It was a nice original piece.

I'm off to watch Colin race his Shelby at Road America this weekend.

OK guys the day is finally here when Tim's beautiful Z28 is repaired and Tim sent me some real camera pics [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] The car turned out great, it's such a beautiful car Tim, I'm sure glad you decided to save it!!!

Here's a little note Tim sent to me with his pics:




Randy,

The Austin guys were together Saturday just after I picked up the Camaro. Here are some final shots at the shop we all gather at to work on cars.

Notice the new Callaway supercharged Z06 in the background, what a cool car.



I took one shot at the house on Sunday with American wheels and redline tires, I love the different look it presents.



I do appreciate all of your help with posting the pictures through the repair. It did turn out very nice, there are a few minor issues to iron out such as the wipers not working and such, but nothing major.

Tim

Thanks for following this ordeal and all the support from the site members. Austin Corvette did a very nice job on the Z28, the paint is beautiful and they painted all but the rear of the car with a perfect match.

Wheels and tires are perfect..
