Beautiful car; looks like the headlight doors need adjustment though.

If you ever worked on these cars you would know that aligning the headlight doors on these cars is a PITA!
The 67's are worse. Trust me.

The car looks awesome!

Yes Steve Keech owned the car before selling it and C.Lillard I beleieve has it. I used original photos from SYC 8030 for the restoration and my cloned doortag says SYC 8031 (Details Steve took care of for me) ...The Yenko fender tags on the 8030 were like mine according to photos of the original holes and the giveaway car. Now there is an SS emblem on the fenders along with the Yenko and Camaro.

A clone it is but its correct down to every nut and bolt!!
It was a one owner little old lady car with ZERO rust !!!
Mina did 90% of the work himself including the bodywork and spraying it ! He even had a hand in the assembly of the motor! Not bad for a 26 year old on his first muscle car ! hes learned a ton in the past year and has more talent than just about anybody i know.
hes a young guy that teaches website design for a living and loves the car hobby too. You can also put money on it that he'll be blowing out 10's at the track real soon too !! this car runs !!!! we'll post some more pictures of it on our website soon !!! (at the track)
Way to go Mina !!!
see ya !!! Steve Keech www.carsbyss.com

Why was the SYC 8031 tag put in the jam?

Even the steering wheel is correct. What does the trim tag look like?
