I can imagine it in the vintage-style Pacer Rallye rims that I saw on 4wheelonline. Awesome progress! The car looks lovely!

I haven't posted in a while. Nothing to photograph. Going through problems like HuggerSS. Found the double crimped brakes hoses don't always fit like the singles. I bought older Raybestos from e-bay. On the RH side I had to remove a little flashing on the caliper & find a copper washer that was .020 thicker. Put trans fluid in the TH400 & I have a leak where the speedo adapter goes into the tail shaft. I go for the vinyl top install on the 5th of May. Not sure about the clips for the top mouldings. Just been working on finishing up. One piece at at a time

I was approved for MCACN so I'm looking forward to that...Joe

Just got back from having the vinyl top installed on the Camaro. 96 degrees out & the aluminum tip bed trailer is very hot. Oh well, it's only skin. It's grow back

Last week I dug out some more NOS parts for the car....weatherstrips. In 1991 & 92 I purchased enough roof rail, door, & cat wiskers to do both of my Camaros. The Z/28 got them years ago. Now it's time to do the SS. They were only between 20 & 30 buck back then. Found a receipt for one I had to get for a dealer that new it was obsolete. I complained that I think he charged me list plus his cost, at least....79.00 shipped. Gladly pay that today. First time to open. Fit real nice...Joe
