Serious is right- but fortunately they are movin along well.  The 76 is sanded, patched- except for one spot that I've been intimadated by- the passenger side front corner-major body line- is crushed.  Trying to figure a way to mold then use the mold to build over with mesh and fiberglass..... the 454 is ready, and tranny.  Got most of the parts now- just gotta get that last bit of body work, then she's off for her paint.  The 74 is now the 15 year olds car/problem.  Got it sanded, new frontend clip, and then got fed up.  The 76 was supposed to be the parts car- turned out to be in better shape than the 74.  WE're getting there thoiugh.  Should be ready by about March.  We also have the 71 camaro....with the 864 hp engine- that should be done by January 1st.  Never a dull moment....

Becca,

First- no- not in business- just a hobby, though I probably should be since I've learned to patch fiberglass (according to others) pretty darn well, and yeah- thats the 02 in the background of the 74.  Both the 74 and 76 are completely sanded waiting for gelcoat now.  Well- the 76 still has the one major fiberglass repair to be done- it scares me.... oh- and the 86 showcar- yeah.... its in the barn (-:  Just a few vettes around here....

Becca,

Becca.   sorry the sig pic is of the passenger side.   Didn't even know which pic was on the signature.  I do have pics of the drivers side if you are intrested. 

Here's the driver side pic of Nick's yaller car, but...it don't show the area too well...

If you need help posting/uploading a different one, just holler, Nick.

Here's a better one...



btw...this does appear to be getting a wee bit off topic...which is help with pic loading. Adams' Apple2007-12-16 11:13:29

May be off topic- but EXTREMELY helpful!!!!  And where was that repair?  No- I'm not that great- still learning- althoufg I have found that it is one of the few things that being a perfectionist comes in handy with...... but definatley still learning.  I'll have to try the roaster pan thing....might work (-:
