All of the burn out getting ready for the races. That is a lot of burnouts to get to 79,000 miles.

My last postings are over a year old .these next updates are from the summer of 2002. The front clip was removed and the subframe removed to replace with one that didn’t have a big dent in it. I had it blasted and epoxy prime red until I got around to finish and assembly.





After many hours of prep it got the final coat.

With the new frame all prepped it was time to take the old one out.




The handy dandy steel workbench came to good use again.



Then the front clip was removed.

With the frame waiting, I assembled the final stages of the freshly built 302. It’s dated March 23 1968 and the car is an April 13 build. Notice the faint MO still on the block.

The rear suspension had all been finished and exhaust installed. I added a rear sway bar from a 69 Nova and installed KYB shocks painted Koni Orange ,that’s actually Chevrolet Engine Orange.

At this point I was going to re assemble the car and break in the new driveline. As my Olds 442 was about to come back to me I decided to send the Camaro for painting (Nov 2022).
So with the front clip loosely in place and all trim and door hardware removed off it went.



All the detail work I did was carefully covered up and the frame will be removed for the firewall paint and preparation.

The car was dormant in Marks shop until 3 weeks ago as he had other work.
Remember ,this is a central Oregon car showing no signs of rust anywhere. Well none showing. There were some in the rear glass channel.






All repairs were done and new studs installed,

Mark went on to rebuild the door hinges and then test fits the doors and fenders for gaps.

Notice the spectacular original paint on the cowl sides.
