    Nice job. I don't care if it is of topic. I've always been a little partial to a Camaro. Alright, I said it. Does that make me a bad person? :eek: I can't help it, my first car was a 68 Camaro SS clone, Lemans blue, 327 4-speed.

    Damn Sam!! that thing is NICE!!!

    sad day though, my best friend, had to sell the love of his life today... his '67 Camaro, with a knarly small block and a t-5 with 4.11's in the rear , i'm going to miss that car:(

    its ok though, i'm on the hunt for a nice solid '67 camaro shell for him so we can build him a new one from scratch;) (he just doesn't know it yet)

    Tramp stamps, trailer park birth mark, white trash bus pass....
    who cares that is a nice rear ink and all.....

    That would look good on the back of my 'cycle.....if I had one!

  20. Great car Sam.

    I'd hate that car in red or black. I love your color combination though.
