This has to be one of the cleanest and meanest builds I've seen in a long time...perfect combo.

Simply outstanding [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Camaro is 98% finished.....she needs front windshield and rear glass installed, repair a small brake fluid leak, bleed the brakes a final time and she is good to go :-)

I took some parts out of a 78-79 Monte years ago that was a factory 3-speed stick. Pretty unusual car.

That really came out nice. Looks just like I remember most 1977-1981 Z28s looking back in the 1980s.

Hi Dan, super build. Looks very high quality!

Have you thought to add a stripe insert to the L88 hood? I was thinking maybe a blue stripe matching the blue color in the stripe trim decals? Similar to the motion cars?

Regardless beautiful restoration !!!

Yes, the car owner is currently thinking of a hood graphic.

Great looking Z-28 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Reminds me of one that lived a few streets over from me years ago. It was a 80'ish Berlinetta w/ a L-88 then a 454 that was wicked fast. Also had a 4 point bar and slapper bars. That car has been stuck in my mind the last 34 years...Come to think of it, I think his Mom had a 70 Z with the same combo, black &amp; silver w/ the smoked headlight covers. Dang, that was one cool ride too!
