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.
buddy

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

Re: My JL-8 Camaro in bodyshop forever????
It seems most collision shops tell you they know what you want,top notch work, then it sits and finally after enough complaining or work gets slow they jump in and usually hurry it but expect payment for a meticulous job. What dealership sold your car when new?
