      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Bringing this thread back from the dead.

      Well Its been a long time since the car has been worked on.
      I had alot of life type things that had to be taken care of before the car could get worked on again.

      I loosely hung all the sheet metal on the car and, put it on a trailer to have the guys at Bruning Auto Design get all the door gaps perfect, and the panels aligned correctly. I wanted the doors to look like a modern european car with the nice tight gaps.

      The Guys at B.A.D. are top notch. Tim is a top notch fabricator that worked on both the Realmad and Newmad at Steve's Auto Restoration. I think in just a few short years B.A.D. will be one of the Northwest's top shop to have your car worked on. Here is there current project http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=11358

      Here are some pics they sent me on the progress of the car. There are some cool mods that will be done to the car, I just got to make sure I don't go way over budget. Some of the real cool stuff might not happen till later this year or next. As I get new pics I'll keep this updated.

      Some more pics.
      The gaps at the bottoms of the doors were pretty big, so they added some metal to them, and closed the gap so all the gaps on the car are even.
      Also they filled in the front camaro emblem holes. It feels good to know they are great metal fabricators and welders.

      looks great. Its amazing how it gives the car a completley different feel when the gaps are taken care of like that.

      We'll be working on some cool stuff for the car soon.

      okay latest update is the front bumper.
      I have looked at lots of 69 camaro's with metal bumpers and endura bumpers.
      Some look nice and tight and some look like they are pulled away from the body too much.
      I just like the look of a tucked in bumper. Tim has been busy tucking the front bumper. Also I don't plan on running a front plate so I had him get rid of the license plate fangs on the bumper. The rear bumper is next.

      Bumper looks nice. Do you have a more overall shot of it on the car as it is now?

      Here are a couple pics with a better perspective of how much the bumper is tucked in.
