Re: Updated pics of my project
It's back home.
Still lots of details: sidemarker lights, grill, bumpers, spears etc. Overall, pretty darn happy with it. Not bad for an amateur shooting black in the garage.

Re: Updated pics of my project
Grill, emblems, side markers, and my bent (not bad) rear bumper installed. May send the bumper out next year and get it straightened and rechromed. Just want to enjoy the car for a while.
Driveline vibration is almost gone with the new driveshaft. Will measure runout at rear and see if I need new yoke in the diff. Seems I remember suspecting that yoke 30 years ago. Left to be done: paint and install front bumper, install "302" emblems in the hood, install headlight bezels, install NOS tail light lenses, painting the YH wheels, and some hand polishing hear and there. Took pics for the insurance co. today. BTW, if you are insuring a classic, call Tamra at MK (one of our sponsors). They were half the price of going through our regular insurer, and we got better coverage.

Re: Updated pics of my project
Hmmm... going to have to cut back a bit on driving. Only allowed 6000 miles per year and have put on 500 in a week. Sure is fun though. Need to get the darn bumper painted and installed. Kind of hard to do while going down the road.
Did get the 5 yh ralley wheels blasted, covered in DLP90, then black enamel engine paint, then silver enamel on the outside. Even got some silver overspray just like the originals I have observed. I used an old BMW strut housing with a hub on it. Bolt pattern is almost identical to the Camaro (off by .65 mmm) but easy to bolt on and spin the wheel for painting.
