Something like that wouldn't even cross my mind.
Hope your backs healed up.

68z302 Thanks for the compliment, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] You members are the first to see this. I started to make templates for a 68 camaro then i was going to go off the edge and make a 69 camaro conv,but my love for the titanic chevys took over. I just hope that i live long enough to finish it! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

You chose an excellent subject....now how are you going to scallop those 4.09 valve covers !?

Belair62: The valve covers might be the easy part the bowtie is the hard part (copy rite infringment?)i might have to get permission on that one. or i could go with a copy of the offenhauser style that seems to be the latest rage with the 409s [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

JOEG/Belair :Some people who have seen some of my stuff say that i missed my calling in life and should persue my true talent, The armmond smith car was the fuel for the fire, but white isnt a color thats an eye catcher but..... i really like that blue! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] i have thought of many color combos but i think that its going to be blue now for shure, i even went as far as buying the old collectable tire ash trays just to use the rubber it took me 2 years to find 4 matching tire ash trays, then i bought a 409/425 complete engine just to build the new 4.09 block with accurate detail. So if you attend one of the shows in the future and you see a white 69 Camaro SS/RS 396 conv, and the now "BLUE" 62 Belair w/ "FINNED OFFYS" on a table in front of it it will be me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] Now heres a question that everyone asks me -what are you going to do with it when its done you cant drive it?And i still don't have an answer to that one....
