Thanks. I just finished fabbing the bracket for the trunk strut from steel. Was going to use aluminum, but I really don't think it would be as sturdy after a lot of use. One step closer.

I like how it flows with the contour lines that swoops up with the tail light ends. Low key, but not unnoticed. I dig it. Is it welded on, or fiberglass? I like what Clayton did with his also, but given the scarcity of those Camaros, that might hard(er) to accomplish..

I'd rather have something like this, rather than one on pedestals. Subtle, not rice-like, and flowing with the lines of the car.

All steel...welded together. I gave him an exploded view on paper of what I wanted. How the metal needed to be welded, and the whole design. He did it.

I think you nailed it with the spoiler. With the body lines of these cars I have always felt " less is more" when it comes to spoilers. I plan to remove my antenna as well when I decide to paint my bird. Looking good .

Some jamb color goes on today along with some hood paint on the bottom and scoops, mirrors, trim, and gas lids. Pics as I get them.

It's coming along nicely. Just wondering but is the underhood area getting painted the same color as the jambs or is it staying black?

Under the hood, around the engine will be resprayed later. Right now, black. And to be honest, I have no problem with that. I'm going to do some under hood detailing later.

Its finally coming together huh Vinnie?...Looking good. I think the black trim in the molding is going to look nice!( By the way where did you find replacement trim?)

I'll find the Ebay link for you for that trim. Man, I am ready to get her home.
