The Grille painted.

I started replacing parts today. Through sweat and lots of lost blood... the tailgate is on the left mirror...the left window replaced and the track fixed. The rear bumper has been replaced. The original was bent up a little...as you can see in the pics of it. The 76 bumper has nice tail light lenses...that was a plus!! The left glass was chipped at the top so that was replaced. I was ale to get a few good parts off of that 76. The grille was in perfect shape. Now all I got to do is paint it black and it will be just like the original SS grille.

Well after 4 years of looking a 454 has came into my life for the Camino! I bought a motor home with 26,000 miles on it and it had this perfect 454 and a 400 turbo trans!! $600 bought it! I sold the 350 that was in the Camino for $750. I have the Camino ready for the 454. Tomarrow I will have pics of the 454 and Camino with it in it!
