Progress!

Some progress so far includes a lot of work, what i have accomplished so far is,..

Interior cleaned and put in,
Thorough cleaning of the engine compartment,
Autometer Ultra-Lite Water temp electric gauge,
Body pinstriping,
Hood stripe into flames,
New rear wheels, I have the front ones too but one tire won't hold air.
New brakes,

and New Rear Curtain.

I have 2 parts cars at this time and will be installing from them,..
Power Windows,
Power Door Locks,
1984 Door panels with power acc switches,
Full F41 Suspension,
Tilt Wheel,
and Duals with Flowmasters on the way!!

This is the first EVER
attempt at laying out flames,
especially freehand. So forgive the slop!

thanks for your comments! Yep, i like to keep it subtle, ive thought about adding some flashy things (chrome, decals, emblems) but im glad i never do. sometimes simple is style, def. for g bodies. you got a great project car, tons of potential. ive seen some sweet elkys on here. theres one that looks identical to my car actually, but an elky version. good luck.

Hey. I was just checking out the truck you're building. Not bad.
Does your dad have a web site for his Camaro?
Thanks for looking our Montes over. Later.

Wow. Sorry you got screwed by some jerk on evilbay. It happens. But even once is way TOO many times. And I can't believe PayPal did zip for you?
Well if anything the Camino looks like with some TLC you could make it a great vehicle. Then you can show Mr. Joe Blow you bought it from.
Good luck with it. Later.
