Here is an interesting one. Years Ago, My wife made this for me. Using a Pattern and Cross Stitching in the scheme of the Red Camaro. I was so impressed with her efforts I had it Triple mat and framed. Looking around we can not find the Source or mfr or vendor whom offered this was done in the 1990-ish. I thought I would post it in the Owners 'thread' for the Car.
Related, just not a bolt on part LoL

I think Stoney Creek offers some patterns but not this 67/68 side profile pattern.

* & Yes, I used to have some Weird "Midas Exhaust" prior to the Advent of the Installed correct Gardner versions, Please excuse the Cars Tips,,,,,

Jim asked me to share the engine start up for his Camaro. Sounds great!

The Motor seems to be running reliably and it is time To Button up the Hood and Further Test -n- Tune.
Thanks Bruce for Posting the Vid. I still do not have a Camera on a Phone & used a Vintage Sony Camera for Vid Shooting. I will get a Driving Vid using a Friends phone (LoL)

I have owned the Car since 1983 & It has NEVER pulled like it now does. The Original factory installed L35 will get repaired and stored for a few years while I enjoy the L78 experience.

Will post some More Interesting 'related' photos soon.

Jim

(*PS I should get it out to our Local 1/8 mile track for a (Spring) Friday test n tune evening for a little excitement (Safely) [aka Bremerton Raceway]
