Yup, got a jug of it out in the garage. works great to keep overspray from sticking to places you don't want it...

Well, not only did I not like the wraparound tailights, decided I didn't like the overweight back window/hatch. Here's the framework, if you can't tell it will be a sort of fastback with a nice dark piece of dark tinted Lexan. Just guessing, should take another 50 pounds of ugly fat off the Camaro..... Hopefully can get some time to put a skin over the framework sometime next week...

Oh yeah, the metal part of the old glass lid will now become a trunk lid, just have to add about 4" to the front lip and put on some hinges....

Thats going to be wild Dave, a one off Camaro for sure. Are you going to drop a ford motor in her too?HeHeHe!!

Keep working on her tommycat, you can almost feel that new motor now!

I still haven't heard how to get this overspary crap off, we have a cruise-in friday night and I am not even ready but I am dying to go.

Did you try some lacquer thinner on a rag to get it off?

No, I was afraid it would take the paint off of my engine.

Keep the rag just damp with laquer thinner to wipe off the chrome so it doesn't drip on the paint.

Dave some great custom work going on . I never used that liquid mask can it be applied over anything . If i remember it rinse's off like soap .

Brick i remember having to get it off when i ran a body shop no easy chore for sure . Maybe tape off engine where you can to protect it then wipe .

yup, you can use it on most anything. rinses right off... Great stuff, just put it in a spray bottle and squirt everything!!!!! (aka--lazy man's plastic drape )

Dave lazy is sitting here wondering when a keyboard will type on voice command LOL

Well been toying with the 4 bar last few days. The install measurement of 41 5/8 c-c on rear end brkts are just a little wide. At this i had to force links on to bolts on front brkt really hard. I have moved them a little closer in 1/8 inch marks to fit up a little better. This morn will be fit #4 and hopefully right on the mark. The links have a 5 degree angle built in to connect at frame brkt . I know i dont want them loose but dont want to come along them together either. I also had to trim off about 3/8 inch wedge on frame brkts to get them verticle to the frame not a problem though . Frame is starting to look like a rod .

Should work good, Bob. I see the angle finder and the level, keep checking everything till you are 100% certain that everything is right.....then check it all one more time before welding...... (This advise comes from the "been there, done that, then redone it right" book of lessons........)

Dave measure and remeasure was the theme today but i have it all tacked in . It even ended up with a 103.5 inch wheel base as original . I was allmost afraid to strike a arc thinking it would move on me LOL. Oh i did the cut tack and move . I spent alot moving brkts in on rear till links fit right . One time i put the 3 degree angle backward and wondered why the were off so out it came and reshift again . Whew but its there .

Looks good, Bob. Going to have the car sitting on all four soon!!!!!

Hoping to have chassis rolling this week end so i can mock K member and trans mounts
