Thank you for the praise! It's the first time I've ever tried to bend or flare lines......I think they turned out pretty decent for a rookie.

Nice work on the brake and fuel lines. I wanted to bend my own too, just not sure of my bending skills so I just ordered some from inline tube. Keep the pictures coming.

I apologize for not seeing your post until today. My father and I have been working on my 383 and have now got it on the motor stand and getting closer to firing it up. I put all of the body panels on the truck a month or two ago and kind of pushed it to the side as I have been busy with my other baby, my 1970 Camaro Z-28/RS. This Camaro spent a lot of it's life on the dragstrip and when we purchased it it had the wrong interior in it. I have been restoring the interior and putting it back to what it would have looked like from the factory. Still got some things to do on the dash but from there back it's pretty well done. Here's a few pics of the car. It's a true Z-28/RS car. The car came from the factory with the 360 hp LT-1 motor (not the motor currently in the car but I do have the original numbers matching block for the car). The car still has it's original paint and is not perfect but it's still a fun car.

Here's a few pics of the 383 we're building for the truck and what the truck looks like with all of the body panels on it.

That Camaro looks GREAT! You are doing that interior some justice too. Jealous......The truck is coming along good too. BTW, your shop is giving me envy. I would love to have that much room to work with.

Thank you! You know, I thought by putting the truck on the back burner for a while and spending some time on the Camaro that I'd save a little money..............boy was I wrong! It's always the little things that add up.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of the plastic bumper era of Camaros. To me, they just didn't look as good after 1973.

67chevy1series · 10-13-2011, 09:11 PM

did you hear about chevy havinf to throw away thousands of 72 camaros. that were perfect and ready to be sent to dealers because they didnt meet the 73 bumper laws?

I am speechless Jay! I love the body style of the 70-73 camaro's and only wish I was lucky enough to have one in 50% of the condition yours is in! I seen a few other cool items hiding in the back ground of your updates.....
71 or 72 Chevelle??? The truck hiding behind the test stand???? Looks like a early chevy pickup???

Anyways I am glad to see some updates, keep them coming!

Thank you Matt! The Chevelle is a 70 SS 396 numbers matching car. It belongs to my father. The vehicle behind the test stand is my father's car also. It's a 1938 Chevy coupe.
