Looks awesome.

Lots of long nights ahead of you but I can assure you once you see that thing in that booth, it will all be worth it.

Can't wait to see it. Good luck.

You have to be pumped.

The paint, wheels... everything really matches great.

LOOKS GOOD!!:thumbsup:

thanks for all the compliments- I have two goals in mind

- getting it loaded on the trailer

- meeting all of you guys at the LAT-G party

your compliments and monster energy drinks keep me going!!

I am told to have the car at the parking lot Sunday between 1 and 4 and they will tell me where to put it- it will most likely be in the foyer or outdoors somewhere..wherever they tell me:D - Chris

Take my advise, get there EARLY, a few hours before they say you can be there. The early bird will get somewhat better placement or you can end up invisable.

Frank I have to disagree with that, we have been there every year late and had the best spots, last year we were right by the door and the following year we were the back drop for the Meguiers TV show so our car was on all week. I understand how it works and for us the last three years we were late and did better, previous we were always early and got shafted in the parking lot so you could not even see the car. Its vegas so its a crap shoot either way

A crap shoot is exactly correct Chris. Same for us, early and late, been screwed and honored both ways. Bill and Steve got there really early with Bills GTO and got the main door, you had to trip over the thing to get in the building! Next year we got our out door buried, many could not even find us! Lucky we had one in a booth to, people could find us and we could take them to the outside car.

I will do outside spots anymore. No booth, no go for us, unless it is REALLY easy on us. I realize when your taking a bakers dozen like you are some will be outside.

Either way it is a HUGE honor just to be on the property.

You are correct, make sure you guys come by our booth in Hot Rod Alley and check out all the new parts we will have on display. Good luck on your journey to all that have to drive trucks and trailers.

Looking good Chris. I see you got the Fesler hinges okay, glad to see that.

See you at SEMA. All the hard work will definitely pay off when the car is there, you will be very proud.

Looks great. Colors and wheels flow very well. In a world where just about everything has been done on a first gen camaro this one really stands out to me. A very good balance as in not too much and not enough. Very classy!You guy's should be proud :thumbsup:

Thanks- it's hard to be different with a first Gen. I was just going to do a black with red interior car because of the movie- "better off dead" but then Jason got this idea about silver w/ red

That was a long day but we got a ton of work done and with it spread around, I was able to mess with little detail pieces Chris wouldn't have allowed himself time to do which allowed him to run wire and some "heavy lifting" and then the guys from www.j-rodandcustom.com came over and gave an 8 hour tutorial in wetsanding and buffing indoor show style in exchange for some good laughs, energy drinks and pizza and she's looking good!
