My JL-8 Camaro in bodyshop forever????
So I went to the bodyshop that was supposed to help get my car ready to paint....2 YEARS AGO!!!! I arrived today to see my car is a workbench...The paint was stripped over a year ago and now its starting to rust again. The drivers side window was down and there was more dust all over my car...both inside and out...boy was I bummed out....I talked to the owner of the garage and told him I would do the car myself...Spring is coming ya know!!!
So I started to take the front end apart and I will go there daily to restore the car myself. Thought you guys would like some pics before I take it totally apart. Obviously the carb is wrong(I have the right one)..but I think most of the other components are mostly correct. Hopefully, i will get the car painted sooner than later!!! Keep ya posted...

Re: My JL-8 Camaro in bodyshop forever????
the booster on my 05A z-28 is a small font and is iether 102, or 120. i dont have the car with me. not sure on the master, although i thought that they all came with the 309 master with bleeder screws, but the jl-8's didnt have a metering valve. check with brian henderson at super car workshop. he is awesome, and do yourself a favor.... do it once, do it right, and be done with it. imho.

Re: My JL-8 Camaro in bodyshop forever????
Your lucky you still have parts on the car. I'm not accusing the shop of theft, but sitting in there for 2 years....lots of parts could have been removed. Your lucky that isnt the case.
Remove the car and DIY. The two years lost could be made up in no time.

Re: My JL-8 Camaro in bodyshop forever????
I call it paint jail. It seems like paint shops are good for one job and trail off after that. I wish I could find a shop that could do what they said they would, for the amount they quoted, in the time frame estimated. It would also be fun to ride a flying pig
