Al, your work is pretty inspriational. For me, this type of car is where its at. As with the original ZL1, your not afraid to make it how you want it. Looking forward to seeing the car in person.. D https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

That Burnish Brown looks awesome.

I want a matching 67-69 Camaro, but with a white interior.

I wanted to fast it with manifolds, but as I understood it there are no provisions for a aluminum block/heads in a Chevelle so I put headers on it and am going to drive it..cruise nights etc.

Looking awesome Al. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif I am finishing up a Mustang that I am building for a friend and am using Hushmat (I think that is the brand - am not at home). I put this on nearly every interior surface including the overhead and in the doors too. It does a nice job of muting the road sounds (you can roll the windows down for those special sounds you DO want to hear https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif ) and reducing heat getting into the car from engine bay, mufflers, etc.
