Hahaha...there's still an un real amount of work to do...but think it possible to be done next summer at least for driving and shake down purposes. ....the car is staying white and the z28 decals are black.

Fast progress and you sure don't take breaks! Can't wait to see the brakes all complete with the suspension.

Thanks 88gtu. Gotta keep pushing. .....winters coming soon .....gotta get some heat in the garage if im gonna work all winter in order to be on the road in the summer.... ......as for the brakes and steering/suspension mods might wait till the car is on the road before upgrading ........focus on getting it running and driving .....then upgrades

It looks like the footwell area is pushed back quite a bit. Using the deep Camaro dash I take it?

..the camaro dash is just to wide.....im definitely gonna use the stock camaro gauge cluster.....and see if the beretta dash or chopped up camaro dash will be less work ....... or some kind of bent metal im thinkin might be the easiest

I definitely need to re focus on the metal work and filling all the small gaps and patches in the fire wall and inner fenders and rear/trunk area......

Got my rear differential back. Swapped in a 373 gear. And the open carrier from the 6cyl which now is welded. Also had to replace one of the axles due to the Bearing collar wearing into the axle shaft .also all new bearings seals and gaskets. Rear diff is back in full of fluid and ready to rock !!!!
