Gary,

Those pics are in my camera. After your phone call, we buttoned up things in the garage and headed out. I left the camera in the garage, and when we got back home from Wayland, I fell asleep on the couch!

Getting old, with a bum liver, sucks!

Yesterday was GREAT!!!
Today was just as historic and 20 years in the making!!! And I must admit pretty emotional as well.
Project DZ74 is rolling on it's own wheels and has been loaded up and moved to Berger Chevy for Paint and Body
Thanks to Al for hauling the trailer. And to Dave and Angie who didn't even know we had borrowed it

Wish I could have been there to help you guys out.

Awesome job!

Had a ball again today! Matt Berger was excited to see the '74 and he helped push it in to the body shop. We went over things with the Body Shop manager and Matt B. They were both surprised at the condition of the car, they were expecting a shell needing all new sheet metal. I'd have to say they were pleasantly surprised. Matt Berger told us when we were leaving, that he plans to go to the body shop every day and get a progress report to make sure things are happening! Alan Jr. and I are going over to Dougs' tomorrow to get rest of the parts that need to get to Berger's Body Shop.

Wish I could have been there.

Way to go Ray and Doug!!! I knew the car would be a roller again this week.

And of course to the Kemps after they read the post and see their trailer in the photos.

It's neat to see the car out in the daylight after all of these years but even cooler to hear how excited Matt Berger is with the project. He definitely is a "Car Guy" at heart

I can't wait to see what is next!!

Another BIG THANK YOU goes out to Ray, Al and my son Tim for spending another day in my garage wrenching on the Project DZ74! And thanks to Dave and Angie for the use of your trailer!

I can't believe the old Camaro is on 4 wheels again!

Today, we're going to get the rest of the body parts (fenders, hood, upper & lower valances, headlight buckets and spoilers) out to Berger's body shop.

I think I will then take about a 2 day nap! You guys are wearing this old guy out! I fell asleep on the couch AGAIN last night.

It was funny, Doug and Tim went to town to get bolts for the steering box. Car was still in the garage. Al and I looked at each other and said "on the trailer?" , "Hell yes!". And had the car all loaded up and straps attached by the time Doug got back

Is this car going to be ready for Woodward this year?
Really.. That would be cool to see it back together and on the road.

[WMCC Doug]

My goal is to have the car all done and on the road by Camaro Superfest, which is June 29-July 1, 2007.

Today we got the rest of the parts out to Berger Chevrolet's body shop. I expect the car to be in the body shop for a month or maybe a little longer. Once it's back home, we'll have to fab up the transmission cross member for the 6 speed, and start re-installing everything else.

Thanks again to today's helpers: Al, Alan Jr., Tim and Steve O. Here are a few more photos ............
