69 restoration
You do know, seeing that you blacked out the tail light panel, you now are saying that you got a big block car, so while your at things, you might as well yank the 6 banger out and drop one in ....LOL
Car looks good. Bet you can't wait for it to be all in one color?
Mine was originally Cortez silver and makes me wish I would have painted mine that color.
Here's a picture of your color combo and it looks good.

LOLWould I be out of order if I didn't put the antenna back on the fender? I was thinking in the glass.

Here is the thing, it's your car, you do what you want to it.
Now if it was a piece of history like a Z-28, SS, RS, I'd say no put it all back to stock, but it probably was a family car, like mine was, so if you want the antenna in the windshield, do it.
In fact, I deleted my antenna and I like the look much better. It's a clean look.
Are you putting all the factory exterior trim back on, like the "spears" or rocker panel molding, the quarter panel louver's, wheel well trim?
Even though mine is set up for drag racing, I had to put that stuff back on. It completes the look of the Camaro in my eyes.
Looking forward to seeing the car in one color.

How's this picture, standard grill, cowl hood, silver and hockey style stripe
and don't you have rally wheels?
Here is something for you to think about. The standard grills came in
either black or silver. The factory would use a silver grill and silver headlight
buckets and then they trim it out in silver.
I like the look if you use the black grill and black headlight buckets and everything
is black.

I was at the shop today and the car's coming together pretty quick now. We put in the fuel line, all wiring harness as well as hooking up all the other electrical under the hood. I still need to order a bunch of small stuff for the exterior including the weather stripping for the doors and trunk. I should have it home soon.

Hi guys I'm back for a short update. The car went to the down draft booth today. The next pictures should be of her all painted up. But for now I've got the farewell photos of her in primer. K
Here she is back from the down draft booth. Wow! What a difference from two months ago. Jason and his team did a great job. I couldn't have done it without them. 
I still have to get all new weather stripping and interior but at least the hard part is over. Still have to put the stripe on her.

Looks real good!
Have you ordered your weather strip kit yet? I used SoffSeal because that is what my local Camaro parts place uses, but I've heard good stuff about Metro Supersoft and it's cheaper.
One thing that just came to mind about your choice on stripes. Just remember, if you decided to go with the hockey style stripe, up front, the stripe is split where the motor emblem goes. What emblem are you going to put in there? If you go with 250, make sure the mounting studs will be the same as a 350 or 396 so that you don't have to redrill new holes.
Are you keeping the Rally wheels on it?
The car is going to be killer when it's done.
See ya.
