Wow... that's a lotta' time, effort and money right there.

One question though... why the 4" tall cowl instead of the more appropriate 2" version?

either way, very nice.

I have sold a few cars at BJ. The most recent was a 1955 custom Nomad that was a prime time car Saturday night. BJ is fun place to go but not to sell cars to stressful!! I like to be able to control my losses and at BJ that is hard to do.

Couple pictures of the Nomad:

Damn nice cars

I understand your comment about BJ auctions, since they are a no reserve auction you never know what the final hammer will bring. Mecum auctions at least have a reserve based auction, much better to dictate what you want to sell for, then theres that Rossi and something auctions , but there tents fall over,lol

As far as the Camaro, I would presume the dash pad will be installed before the sale

Good Luck, these resto mods are going for high dollars.

LOOKS GREAT. I also miss my camaro's had a 67 and a 69 both big blocks, You need more wheel and tire tucked under the rear to handle the torque of that 540.

The car handles the torque of the 540 just fine with the TCI 4 link.
