Hello, all! I haven't been here for a while due to both work and working on multiple builds. I had to restart this Camaro because of a few problems of my own doing. First off, when I installed the engine I forgot to put in the upper control arms. And as for the electric fan, after I had stripped of the paint and was cleaning off the purple stuff, something broke off it that I couldn't replace. So it got tossed. After a trip to Hobby Lobby for a new Camaro, the build recommenced.

The engine is the new block with the standard fan.

The chassis is done and went together okay.

Here's a side view showing what could be the rake.?

As can be seen from this underside view, the exhaust didn't quite line up with the headers. I don't know if that's the way it fit on these RS versions, or if I'm just lucky that way.? The quick fix I did sort of works.

Next, the interior. I've also got a few other projects closer to completion. Stay tuned, my friends!

And here is the finished interior. The seats are from the Firebird and the floor is flat black, the seats, door panels, and dashboard are satin black, and the console is gloss black. The rear seat needed little modification to fit. Just bodywork and final assembly to go.
