That's gonna look great! BTW, I love how the shop is using a '53 Vette as a shelf for parts from your car. :)

Bodywork looks like it's coming along well. Not really a fan of that hood on a Camaro though.....

Not sure if I'll dig that hood either, but looks like it's coming along well.

BTW, what's up with the old Vette in the background? What year is it and are you going to do anything with it?

Looks good, but its hard to tell, if its going to be a black car, you need to use a good polyester glazing putty, ( such as evercoat) you need to sand everything with a longboard by hand, working your way up to 100 grit dry sand paper, then use a good primer 3 coats, then wet sand the whole thing again with a sanding block, starting with 220, working your way up to 400, then you need to prime it with a good epoxy primer, PPG DP50LF, 2 good wet coats. Who is going to paint it? Prep work is the most important thing in a paint job, if you do it wrong it doesnt matter who paints it, it will look bad. I recomend a BC/CC with 4 wet coats of clear, this way if you have orange peel you can block it out later with 1500 grit wet, and compound. Good Luck!
