I'd try somewhere else if you can. Sound like that place is just crooks, regardless.

Lol, nothing wrong with reconditioning stuff like that damon.

Got some metal to get me going today so I should be set to work on it saturday, hopefully I still have gas other wise my welding may be cut short but then again I do work for a rental store.

Yeah, I've scrounged anything that looks useable when I was working, and stuck it in my storage shed for years. I've got tons of 2"x2" and 1.5"x1.5" box tubing, but all in 24"-30" lengths. Lots of small plate, and sheetmetal, but I still end up having to buy occasionally when I don't have exactly what I need. Sometimes I call an old work buddy and have them check the scrap pile at my previous employer, just in case they have anything I can use.

I made a couple designs in forza the other day for the camaro couple of the ideas rolling around in my head but barely skimming the surface of the sceme I'm gonna lay out for it.

I wish forza had a better customization for the body and such, NFS used to have a sculpting mode for the body modifications so you could adjust size and shape and the 1000 layer limit on designs kinda sucks but for the most part it's great for laying out designs for my cars I got the civic and 240sx's designs pretty much to exactly what I had going on in my head but the camaro will take more... fine tuning I guess. I might try something close to what I did on the 79 much like the baldwin motion design but without the center stripe I liked how that looked on the 79.
But I don't want the cowl hood I want one of theseName:  484.jpg

I like the wing thing. Can you make a pic how it would look on the car. Is it an actual wing, or did you draw it.

Just my opinion, but I'm not much into wings on a old car like 2nd gen Camaros. Kinda screams tuner car to me. But if you're interested, a friend of mine bought one at the swap meet recently and is planning to resell it. Looks like that one, but bare aluminum.
