My Camaro Pics: Work in Progress
Here is some of the pics I took today of the camaro getting the engine installed. As you can see I've had the car painted also. I know I still have the do the engine bay. I am painting it black so the motor will catch the eye first. Opinions so far?

Well, its funny how you forget little details when you start painting. Me and a couple of friends did it one night. Stayed up till 6:30 painting. 
But i was thinking about masking everything later and painting or doing the engine bay with POR-15.
But right now, we are waiting for a V-Belt assembly off a Monte Carlo so we can get her running. We were having problems with the alternator hitting the valve covers cause we need the tall ones with the roller rockers we have.

Thanks, yeah i used a paint called OmniColor or something like that. It was a base coat with clear mixed in. At least thats what my friend told me. Looks shiny. Need to wax it next week. It will be able to move under its own power by then which helps.
