Holy crap you guys did a lot of chopping and reconstructing on that car. Nice work on the frame/suspension! By the way, are those sliding ladders against the walls of the shop like they have in libraries sometimes? If so, I think that's the first shop I've ever seen with that...pretty cool idea.

you probably just pissed off half of the members on this site by spelling "CAMARO" wrong, twice. :)

OK...I fixed it...guess I'm HALFAST in more ways than one...LOL the CAMARO guys freak out when they see my convertable, and the Pontiac crowd generally shakes thier head and walk away puzzled. I've taken what I like from old school and new tech, all kinds of F bodies and hand built this car to make ME happy, and boy does it do it well!
