[QUOTE="Blue Blitz, post: 11564857, member: 71949"] Ok so a little "LONG OVERDUE" update to this thread. As mentioned earlier I had to put the project on hold due to job changes, and a few other things going on in my personal life. This however has been taken care of and all parts had been acquired for the body work/sheet metal replacement. Saved up the cash necessary for the work and picked a shop after months of research. I'm happy to provide for you, the newest round of "update pictures." I took these today when we dropped the car off at the body shop :banana: Where the car will spend the next 3-4 weeks: [img]http://hybred.smugmug.com/photos/i-q7zC32D/0/L/i-q7zC32D-L.jpg[/img] Unfortunately this week the TBSS had a slight accident putting it out of commission for the towing of the car to the shop. This was rectified by the loaner 2006 Dodge sport dually and a friends enclosed trailer. This made the transportation of the camaro to the shop a breeze! [img]http://hybred.smugmug.com/photos/i-XMHKsZW/0/L/i-XMHKsZW-L.jpg[/img] I got a shelf of my own at the shop. All parts needed for the build I provided. Should be pretty simple and quick turnaround as there SHOULD be no reason to purchase more panels! [img]http://hybred.smugmug.com/photos/i-GrnTSXR/0/L/i-GrnTSXR-L.jpg[/img] MORE PARTS! Not all of it would fit on the shelf, so we stacked it where there was room. [img]http://hybred.smugmug.com/photos/i-QQMpvZm/0/L/i-QQMpvZm-L.jpg[/img] Here is how I left her.

I'll get it back from this stage and bring it back to the house. I'll install the 9" rear end and 4-link setup so I can get the old rear end out of the car and free up more space in the garage. I got everything from DSE that I need now, and the body mounts will be installed, and the springs/arms are waiting at the house with the rear end.
