I agree with y88rick, I hope mine turns out even half as nice as your is.  Cant wait to see it all done.
I know I can't wait! I sold my 68 hemi Charger last week so I need a car to cruise in this summer!
Thank You!
Pat

Pat: I made it to the Hot Rod Power Tour. I think I saw your Camaro at Bristol. Sld by a New Jersey dealer? If so that was probably your's. There were so many cars you very seldom saw the same one twice.  I only did the Somerset-Bristol leg. Much fun. Hope to do it again next year and go further.

Mike,
Yes, that was my black Camaro. I was told there was over 10,000 cars in Racine WI, I was #7251. I hope they tour to the northeast from Bristol TN next year! I will take the Trans Am!
Thanks!

Randy,
I received the dash you restored today and it looks AWESOME! I will post some pictures soon but until you see the work in person, pictures just don't show the quality of your work!
THANK YOU!

Left side door trim is on; the S/S and chrome look so good with the blue paint. That's the one thing missing on the new muscle cars, Chrome!
