Two fenders installed plus hood. Doing some final adjustment tweaks (PITA) and time to put the bumper on. Also installed the MRT hood strut kit. Nice addition, now that I plan on leaving the hood open a lot more :)

Can’t wait to pull it out of the garage and give the car its first wash and detail in almost 2.5 years.

Still ironing things out. I replaced the headlights, now they seem a little loose on the back plate. I did buy a new back plate with hardware from LMR. I may take them back out and install new stuff.

I also have a brake light out. I'll check that out today.

I love reading these things. Gives me inspiration to work on my 88 notch coupe. Love it. Been working on a few things here and there while I wait for my clutch and such to come for my Shelby.

Brady, you need to start giving us a "which car" intro to what you are working on. Two cars in the stable now.

I need to get some interior pictures. Spent some time cleaning the interior last night. It's still not perfect.

The engine bay is really dirty. The fuel rails seem to have a lot of rust on them, along with some other parts. I really want to degrease the engine, but it makes me nervous.

I put stock style headlights back in.

I am ordering up a bunch of stuff. Putting the stock air box back in.

I used Gunk engine degreaser on mine back in 03 it worked wonders. Do it on your driveway though or you will be cleaning that shop floor.

Original or mods, original or restored?
Z28 or??
color?
When are you looking to buy?
Reason for asking is I do a lot of car shows and auctions and might be able to help you out.

Mostly looking for original but restored with a automatic. No red!

We could be looking to buy soon, but only if the right car pops up. Otherwise we'll wait another year.

Been looking at this one. Budget is around 60k

All the scratches, swirl marks and water spots on the hood was irritating me!

I still need to go over it with polish and wax. Should tackle it tonight.

Just left the shop at 3:20 this morning!

I'll go over the whole car soon.

Ah that's better, some Foxbody discussion, vs that deviation of Camaro talk. Ha

7up looks good, deep emerald green is a fantastic color.

That looks great.

I have to thank you as well, because I was just about to start searching for some pics of stock, unmolested foxes to try and see what the gaps were on the hood to fender and cowl were.

Putting my hood/fenders/bumper back on and have been going crazy adjusting them without remembering how tight the gaps were. Your pics clearly show it so it was a very coincidental help!
