Very nice man!! love me some old school camaro..
When the car was repainted did you sand down to bare metal? I reason why I'm asking because if the metal has been worked it will develop flash rust real quick.
Wow, that is one of the dirtiest egine bays I have ever seen. Looks like the whole engine comparment was buried in dirt. Very cool build though.
Restored an Indy Pace Car '67 SS-396 Camaro convertibe.
Looks like your doing a First Class job!
It wasn't sanded down to bare metal and i'm not worried about that. Flash rust is common when bare metal is exposed. Part of the blasting process is to do the self etching primer. Want to do it right so I'm taking it down to bare metal this time Last time it was painted was when I first got the car and it was already in primer.
Yea car sat outside my parents place for about 5 years. West texas has dust storms like you wouldn't believe. I have some pics saved and can try to post them if interested. Car shouldn't live outside another day in it's life.
Thanks, we're early into it yet so there is plenty of time for me to mess it up Hope to do it "right" as that's been the hold up all these years. Didn't have the budget to do it right and just now getting to the point where I'm comfortable putting money into the car again!

Will,
The car is going to look amazing. I'll always think of it as yellow with black though. It's etched in my memory that way forever. LOL So wish I had the time and you guys were closer to help and see the progress. I'm jealous. With the wife, two kids and the businesses I'm lucky to be able to wash a car every once in awhile...much less work on one. haha
Hope you guys are doing OK. I finally bought display cases for all those die cast cars and when I got to the Texas DPS car that Kat bought me all those years ago I just about cried. I've got it displayed on the top row of the most visible case and think of you guys everytime I walk by it.
Give me a shout next time yall are in town. I'll buy Sushi! Yes, I said that!

Whoa, well that makes perfect sense. In a way, the car was buried in dirt. That is a modern day Dust Bowl. I would hate to get caught in one of those in the Cobra.
