Yeah!! It does look good!!

I wonder if he'll let me ride in the one he just finished up when we get together next week!! Motorama in ten days!!

If it doesn't snow I'd be glad to take you for a spin! You going to make it with yours?

I don't have the title stuff finished yet. I have a dealer friend who'll fix me up with a drive out tag, but we'll probably take the Mach1 if the weather is nice! I just got door latches Wednesday and I still don't have the windows or the wiring done.

I did run it up the street on Wednesday and my lawyer buddy got some video that he says he'll put up on YouTube, maybe this weekend!!

Cleaned the garage today and got the cab sitting on the frame. I had to clean up to get Josephine back in the garage! It was a mess in here almost like a bomb had went off after the holiday's.

60s and partly cloudy for Saturday!! I've never been to this show. What can I expect?

hollisc10 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 06, 2016, 03:02:03 PM »

Not sure I've never been there either. I hope it has a good swap meet!

My thoughts exactly!! Fifth year, so hopefully it'll have some heavy participation. I'll have the wife look at the Facebook page!!

Not going to make it down we are going with friends to a show in Knoxville.

Sorry we'll miss connecting!! I'll try to get some photos and a report on the show!!

Blackwater · « **Reply #34 on:** January 09, 2016, 08:52:11 PM »

The show was so-so!! I did pick up some outside door handles for Lockjaw!!

Yea the one in Knoxville was the same. Got to have more room for an inside show and they lacked lots of it at the expo center. I didn't buy any car parts just a old gm poster.

Just be sure you get down here for the Rumble in May!!

If I'da thought about it I'd have snapped a picture of the door handles. Look on my thread tomorrow and I'll have 'em up.

There was couple of early fifties Chevy/GMCs there this weekend. One had am LS under the hood.

Rod Run is in April so I might get to the May rumble!

hollisc10 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 12, 2016, 02:20:22 PM »

Got some rust repair on the cab done last night. The floor and kick panel on driverside are done and the outer cowl skin is done. I've got to get on it and get some done so I can clean my driveway up and get rid of what I'm not using!

I'm not a big fan of body filler but I might smooth the cowl out since it had been fixed before.

Cool poster!!

I've got one of those Camaros in my driveway! Gave it to my son when he was in high school. I ought to get it up and get it running again. We did some suspension work and changed out the HO 305 for a stout 350 when the kid kicked a rod out the side of it. It's got C4 Corvette wheels and I've got the stuff for four wheel disc brakes and the IROC ground effects pieces for it!

I've had 14 of the 3rd gen Camaro's I love them. I just sold a 87 so I'm currently without one but that usually doesn't last long.

Blackwater · « **Reply #41 on:** January 14, 2016, 06:22:00 AM »

I was active on the Third Gen thread for a while when I was researching the fuel injection set-up for the FC engine. I'm using a modified LT1 system on the truck, mounted on a fairly radical 400 small block.

I'm still a member over there, but I've been sidetracked while I get Lockjaw done.

hollisc10 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 14, 2016, 07:26:54 AM »

Yea I'm on there but haven't been online in a while.

hollisc10 · « **Reply #43 on:** January 16, 2016, 11:28:25 PM »

Got some work done tonight! All the passenger side floor and lower cowl work is done. I made my floor patches and inner kick panel as usual and had a outer lower section for the bottom of the cowl. Most of the rust repair is done so I'll start cutting the floor out for fuel tank clearance and driveshaft tunnel. Slow progress is better than none at all I guess!

Blackwater · « **Reply #44 on:** January 17, 2016, 06:23:13 AM »

Lookin' DAMN good!!

I'm like you! I can't decide whether to use filler on all of the patches or leave 'em exposed and show off how much work I did!!

hotwheels · « **Reply #45 on:** January 17, 2016, 08:23:26 AM »

Very nice work. Thanks again for sharing.

SkinnyPedal · « **Reply #46 on:** January 17, 2016, 05:26:05 PM »

Lookin Good as usual. Will be watching

hotwheels · « **Reply #47 on:** January 19, 2016, 08:27:25 AM »

Wow, congrats guys. Car looks sharp.

hollisc10 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 19, 2016, 02:51:09 PM »

Probably won't do much to it this week. I need to pull the bed back off my 49 I filled it up with fuel and the tank is leaking. I hope it's just the seal and not the tank but I'll have to wait to see I guess!

Blackwater · « **Reply #49 on:** January 19, 2016, 04:23:52 PM »

You keep inside the next few days!! The weather here is supposed to be lousy and cold for the next few days!!

Hope your fix is a simple one!!
