Re: Dads 77 Z is home, alot of pics..
Congrats again and cheer up Lewis...you're beat and just need a couple of cold ones. .
Aside from maybe the mailbox on the hood, it looks great! . Later it'll all make perfect sense that this Camaro sitting in your shop in the condition it's in today is worth more than any other that could be there...really! .  ~ Pete

Re: Dads 77 Z is home, alot of pics..
Don't ever be depressed........This is a car from the era I grew up during.I have seen much worse,believe me.I would be thrilled to have it with me. I know the reason you are bummed is because of it's condition.It is really not that far gone.That car is a keeper just 'cause of your dad.Also,it is a great car to have.I have an un-loved by the masses 85 Z28 that my boy is thrilled with just because we worked on it together!Keep that Z forever...you won't regret it!!!.............BILL

Congrats on geting the car!
The condition could have been way worse. It'll look nice restored. I dated a girl that had a white '77 Z. It was a nice one. Um, yeah, the car too! Enjoy the resto and post pics as you go.

Re: Dads 77 Z is home, alot of pics..
Wow, it looks about a million percent better just getting all that dirt off the exterior! Congrats on getting it back. Don't get discouraged....there are so many people who can only wish they could get back a car that was a part of their family's history

Re: Dads 77 Z is home, alot of pics..
Don't be bumbed out. I've seen real crap in Overhaulin that was a jewel after the restoration. Buy new parts/repo and away you go after the media blast. Wish mine was around.
What's your Dad saying?

Re: Dads 77 Z is home, alot of pics..
Dad hasn't seen it yet, mom was ready to cry just from what I told her on the phone. They took such pride in the car when they had it and to know it is trashed is pretty upsetting for all of us. I can fix it with enough time.
