1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone

Here is the rest for nice, remember these items were all taken very well care of by me, they had paper on them the whole time at my house, and no one has handled them but me. we took the paper off the drivers door and voila, damage from the body shop, "F'ing awesome" I am torqued. oh well, time to do some more fixes, courtesy of the "professionals"

Too bad about the door, but probably something you can fix in a couple minutes. Only one jack stand? Who has only one jack stand? j/k Love the wheels. It's going to be a pretty car.

Sorry to hear of the body shop problems. Most stories I read about body shops are bad. My personal experiences with them have been good and very bad so they are hit and miss. That's the main reason I started doing my own body work. The car looks great the seams all look super! keep up the good work, thanks for sharing the new pics too.

Looking great man! Going to be a slick ride when done!!!

Missed the post about the body shop the first time.....I can't stand people with no personal responsibility. If they messed it up fix it!!!

I know, me too!!

Looks great, though the cooler lines are a bit close to the headers. Wouldn't be a problem while driving, but might be sitting at idle.

Question though, the inside of the engine bay and other areas are already painted, and the edge of that paint can be seen. How do you treat these areas when it comes to painting the outside of the car? Hopefully I get to that point soon.
