    Fine Wine, 1968 Camaro RS/SS

    Car will be finished in a Candy Brandy Wine, 350 engine turbo 400 transmission. This car is a complete restoration.



    Material added to tighten up body lines between the door and front fenders









    Experimenting with body lines to get the correct look.

    1995 Volvo 850 T5-R, 18psi with flashed ecu and bigger injectors, 315whp
    1973 Chevy Nova with a Volvo B230FT and 4L60E, seriously different.

      It looks real clean and strait.

      Question though, why paint on the front stripes if you haven't done color yet?

        So they can be erased or moved, that way after the car goes to paint there wont be guess work as to how the placement of emblems and how the lines looked from the factory.

                      One of the next steps is to buy the wheel opening moldings so that they can be fitted and the holes drilled. All the molding holes must be drilled before final paint work. The wheel opening moldings should be the last. The hide away head light system will be installed before painting to make sure every thing fits right. Although the trim moldings will be removed before the paint goes on. Like everything the parts are not cheap. I still have alot of things to do under the car before it is completed. This is a fun project that like most projects are never realy done.

                            Ive looked at the photos of your car it does not look like a ratheap to me. Tell me more about those valve covers. I have not run the car on the street but running it in the shop I have had no problems.
