Hello everyone - I've checked out the site before but spent most of my time on Camaros.net. I'm almost done, it that ever really happens, with my 67 Camaro. - My version of a G - Machine

I've been to the Spring Cypress street meet a couple of times on Saturday and plan on being there most Saturdays this summer. Ask me if you don't know. 350 cars and it's free!!!

Below is my build sheet - I just cut and pasted anyway I'm trying to finish up a console/trunk and headliner and should be ready for summer. Have any questions about anything I've done? Fire away.

I love this site and what I see so I know I'll be asking my own.

Without looking I want to say ARC - the material is what got me it's a carbon fiber looking vinyl and looks great. Bought a roll for the back to match and it turned out great. As far as the seat??? Not thrilled with the comfort or rollers instead of levers but the look was key at the time

Welcome to the site man. I have seen your car out at the Spring Cypress street meet, and your pics don't do it justice. The car looks great and I love the Budnik's. Definitely a cool meet out there.
I Hope to have my 71' Nova back on the road this summer and make a few trips out there:3gears:

Wow, nice ride! Top shelf components, too! Welcome to the site!
I thought they only liked stock cars over at Camaros.net. I've only been there a couple of times, but that's what I had heard.
