                    • I have all the materials (base/clear, adhesion stuff for the bumper, 2k filler for hood, etc). You finish the disassemble, prep, and squirt - I hand you cash

                        I'd be more interested if it was fully detrimed. It can get quite time consuming. Is the body work done?

                        I'll keep it in mind.


                        Tinting the windows tomorrow, putting the drivers door panel back on and going to put some miles on her tomorrow night to make sure all is well for the haul on Saturday!!!

                        • Hope everyone got to see the car at the meet and greet. I tried to put as many names to faces as I could. Although the car isn't 100% and it never will be. I want to thank all of you for the great info helping me along the way and your support. Many guys on here gave me stuff for free that saved me a lot of cash. (ryanwarby01, Birdie2000, jderry) also plenty if guys that I got a needed part for cheap (BP_Z28, purple94z28) (sorry if I was a character off on your user names) I also got fantastic advice, help and support from many of you specifically (plum nuts) Very great guy! But everyone that has even one post in this thread THANK YOU, it's the drive from you guys to get this as far as it has came.



                          Since the m&g has came and gone (best one yet IMO) this project is going to start to slow down. It still isn't 100% complete and it probably won't ever will be. I have yet to do:

                          #1 on this list is gears (3.73)
                          Change my shift points and rev limiter
                          Tune
                          Wet sand and wheel the whole car.
                          LCAs, phb, torque arm
                          New headliner and a good cleaning
                          Fix some surface rust under the hood
                          Re tint entire car
                          Fix small exhaust leaks and get a nice catback, I'm already sick of it being dumped.
                          New tires up front
                          SS spoiler
                          Install trans cooler

                          I'm sure I'm forgetting much more.

                          Again, thank you all for the support and I'll keep this updated and hopefully see many of you out on Woodward this year!!!
