Then we got started tinting the windows. We got 3 of them done. Had trouble with the rear window cause it is so curved. We will have to do it in strips.

And last but not least Bob is now taking all the front end back off to paint the inside of the panels and said we have to get a new hood. He said he would buy me a new one since he said we could use it and didnt budget forit, but I told him I would split thecost with him.

Hi orocker
I'am new to this forum!
Just spent the last few hours reading up on your project! Awesome I must say, I'am looking into buying a 67-69 camaro , and wanting to go thru what your doing, you said you live just outside of orlando, I'am in Winter Haven and would like to know the name and place of your body guy if you wouldn't mind. It might be sevral months down the road as I don't even have a camaroto start with, I just recently rebuilt a 350 for an 86 camaro for a friend, and now that I'am done with that project I would like to get in on another.


GREAT looking car so far, thanks for all the pics and info you been giving out.

Your new signature photo tells us your Camaro is all one color now, maybe?

So last sat I went and put on the heads and just sat the manifold on top. We are going back this sat to put some more on the motor but the rest will get done after she is all painted.
