Can I have it ?

Thank you for the comments everyone and yes the gas cap is getting painted. I just had not done that yet as well as several other details as can be seen in the photos. It has definitely been a labor of love!

Until you drive it and give the suspension some real world travel up and down, it wont settle down to its correct right height. </div></div>

The car recently went on a 1000 mile round trip trailer ride and it changed nothing. Not the same as driving but I would have expected it to settle some even in the trailer.

That was gonna be my next suggestion. Was it strapped down by the rear axle and front lower A-arms, so the suspension could still move?

Rick/Dana - I will be willing to come to Illinois a week early and drive this Camaro on the street [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">relentlessly</span></span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img] in order to sort out the ride height. No need to thank me [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] - it is THAT important to me. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

You are a giver. Let's drive it back to the west coast after the show. That should settle the springs.

-----WOW!!! Sam, you are one dedicated guy. No one else on the board would attempt this. Just a bottomless pit of helpfulness. You are to be applauded, sir......Bill S

[mockingbird812]

Yeah, you'd be surprised Bill. Some have wrongly accused me of being self-serving in these situations. I'm just misunderstood. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

ps I can help with the springs as well if Sam does not get it sitting correctly!

Rick,

What %/gloss did you use on the tail panel? Not trying to stir up anything, I just happen to like what I see on this car. I know there's many schools of thought on this matter so PLEASE EVERYONE, let's not make this a soap-box issue. The car looks perfect and I'm just curious.
Thanks!

[mockingbird812]
