Honestly, i haven't thought about body work at all since it left the shop. I dont really know what im going to do yet. im mainly focused on mechanical and other mods at this point

**oldman3** · 11-26-2012, 01:07 AM

Just keep plugging away, everything you do now is something that doesn't have to be done later

Thanks Jim. Its kind of hard to say how much because i didn't do a before measurement but it is sitting on 2'' lowering blocks in the notch and there are no springs in that last shot so basically its like the rear is sitting on the frame without springs. ill be running bags so ill be able to decide how much i want to drop it.

Cam, didn't know you were going to bag it. Should look great when you get it all installed...Jim

Cameron 1137 · 12-21-2012, 03:28 PM

Nice video, looks good...Jim

**oldman3** · 01-11-2013, 08:02 PM

Hey Cam, haven't heard from you in a few weeks. Hope the holidays were good to you, anything new going on with the ride....Jim

Cameron 1137 · 01-12-2013, 08:57 PM

My holidays were good, hope yours were too. The rear is almost finished and I had it outside to let it run and turn it around to start on the front. I'm in Florida now, I just came back from visiting members Raull and big_al_71. I'll post up some pics when I'm back in the room.

We had a great time chatting with you and Raul today.

But heres the much anticipated picture time!

Outside to run for a bit and to turn it around

Aired up

Aired out

Have to tweak the exhaust a bit but it should have no problem clearing everything

And some pics from the trip

And my visit with Al and Raul

This camaro is INSANE, i dont know what else to say

Al's clean, low 71. Gorgeous truck

**oldman3** · 01-13-2013, 12:27 AM
