You need these!!

thanks for all the comments guys! i really apprieciate all of them

now mcboom... those interior NOS pieces i showed are not going to stay looking like that. theres going to be a little twist to tie the seats and original look together!

Truck is steam rolling great man! Keep at it.

Love the Camaro! 69 RS is hard to beat!

f.monroe · 11-03-2011, 11:21 PM

Good to see you on here Dennis. Silver is looking good. The Camaro looks good also. Glad you finally posted pics of it . The pic in the text you sent had me curious. Post some details for us Camaro guys. I bought a 65 Chevelle because I needed a classic car also. Tried to buy a 69 SS Camaro last weekend but the deal fell through. I like the Z10 style paint on yours.

Nice camaro, It just needs an LS7/T56, Full DSE treatment, 14" Brakes, and some 18" Newgen wheels.

mcbassin · 11-03-2011, 11:29 PM

Thanks for the update Dennis. That is a great stash of new old stock parts. The interior looks awesome. Love the new Camaro too.

73gmc454 · 11-05-2011, 07:39 PM

Everything looks good ,I really like the camaro also ! it could be the pics but I have to agree with mcboom on the seats they look like they belong on a pontoon boat ! lol

menace121978 · 11-06-2011, 06:54 AM

^^^ nice! There's always gotta be atleast 1 intelligent smart ass in every crowd. Don't think mcboom said anything about a pontoon boat ya dip ****! Lol! If the seats look (in anyway) outta place they will be dealt with. I do appreciate constructive criticism.... To a point. Notice I didn't say anything in your build about your seatbelt setup or how it looks like you ran outta coin on the interior

i have another round of pics coming up from the last couple days of work. She's looking amazing and the pics just don't do her justice.

Ah Dennis, step back and relax...I don't think 73gmc454 meant to rip on your truck, but rather give a little feedback in a fun way.

I am sure the interior will all turn out fine once it is all in place. The seats aren't my cup of tea, but it isn't my truck either. Do what makes you happy, and enjoy building it and driving it.

The paint looks great, and I am super excited to see it all finished.

I still think you should send me the slots

WigglesTheHoly · 11-06-2011, 12:07 PM

where did you pick up that cowl hood for the TB I have an 02 I'm VERY interested in where that came from. It looks sick.

menace121978 · 11-06-2011, 12:42 PM

look up "scotts hoods" or go onto tbssowners.com and pm evilss. he took care of me.

73gmc454 · 11-06-2011, 09:48 PM

Sorry wasnt meant to hurt your feelings

menace121978 · 11-06-2011, 11:51 PM

Feelings aren't hurt... Just more like irritated. No big deal bud. I love my pontoon seats and that's all that matters since its my ass sitting in them.:^)

Oh my goodness. Congrats man. I bet you are having a hard time taking your eyes off it to go to bed. Just in time too, I've been jonesin' for a Dennis the Menace update. That color looks great, so much more interesting than just "red", you know. Can't wait to see it all trimmed out.

Pop's C-10 · 11-07-2011, 01:09 AM
