This is what i see when I open the garage door these days. I hoped to get farther this weekend but I'm off to move the step kids out of here into their own place.

I'm glad i decided to mock this up. I can't make anything on the right side match to the rocker. I thought it fit pretty well with the old one in spite of the wreck. I've slotted the core support to make the H/L doors c;ose as well as they do and I still need to fix the gap at the top of the grille to the header and move the H/L assemblies to the outside to make them shut the gap at the outside.

I don't know Tom I kinda liked the RPO-2X12 option. I mean you don't see it on many cars as it isn't a real practical option but I think Jeff had pulled it off nicely. :laughing: Although I have to say Jeff it would have been hard to drive with the RPO-2X12 and RPO-FFM options combined. I after all stopping is great with the FFM option but it just kills your off the line acceleration.(even worse than the factory 305 HO) :laughing:

It looks like that Camaro is in remarkably great shape from the pic provided. You'll have one nice 1st Gen. when finished !!!!
