I want to see this in a magazine article once finished!

If Classic American don't bite, I reckon American Car World will as I chatted to their Editor at the LSV Dyno Day last year and he loves 80's yanks.

I worked as a machinist for over 20 years. I have to say it was the most fullfilling job I ever had. To take a piece of metal and turn it into something useful....gives ya a good feeling.

Dynamat so far complete boot done.

Really impressed with it really easy to fit.

Airtank going in next.

Managed to get all this done while doing repairs on my uncs 72 TA so pleased with progress.

Yeah, a blue/black would be fine.

No, never really an option with the Camaro - the bodywork's pretty darn good so to go satin would be a waste of good sharp early third gen lines.

Some small updates bonnet hinges, new chrome effect powder coat, alot cheaper than chrome plating and nearly gives the same apperence so happy with results.
