Looks Great !! But i'm begining to think you have a Camaro problem...yes, you are a Camaroholic, and should seek help at the nearest parts house... [Big Grin]
Last time i saw that car it was yellow !! You should be made to sit on your hands, and only look at Camaro's.... [Roll Eyes]

Naw..it look great Steven, will it be ready for the Picnic in April....let me find that post where you said i could test drive it....

Thanks guys.. was a little nervous about trying a "new" color I hadnt seen on a first gen yet but im happy with the results.. [Smile]

Should look completly different when its all together with the chrome and polished stainless.. I hope to have it drivable by the April picnic and Super Chevy of course [Big Grin]

I will post up once we get the new sub-frame installed with the Wilwoods and all.. should look cool with no fenders.

Ive also got to fab up the piece that connects the 4th gen console to the dash.. so many little project to do..

Thanks again for the words of encouragement...

Steven.......how do you plan on attaching the heating and A/C systems with that nice smooth firewall?
 
Posted by Steven2000SS (Member # 780) on :
 
No heat, no air.. i hardley ever used the AC in my 2000 SS so no big loss.. I might put in a street rod electric heater later on.. heck I may put in a whole vintage air system in a few years and if I do then the system dosent bolt to the firewall.. it uses braces under the dash.

I want it light, clean and fast [Big Grin]
