scuffed the roof with 1000 grit and re-applied the clearcoat,came out like glass,had a tiny bit of dry spray,im glad i took the the extra time to make it look good.probably could have scuffed with 1500 then 2000 and buffed it,but now it will look even better when i color sand it.

got my doors all ready for primer then i can block sand them,also working on my rear decklid thats in super shape,but having a problem with the sticker on the underside,the big one that has the jacking and tire change instruction,trying to get it off without scratching the paint,tried laquer thinner but that wouldnt touch it,anybody have any good ideas how to get it off.

thx 72 camaro i appreciate it,trying to get it finally done then i can start working on getting it running,transmission will be installed monday,im putting in an auto temporarily,but havent figured out how to get around the 4 speed hump yet,

[bad436z28]

got the th350 all installed,just a basic rebuild with hardened sprag and alston red clutches,also has a manual valve body kit.feels good to finally get the engine hoist out from the engine,i pulled the engine and connected the tranny to it,and dropped them in together went in like a dream didnt even need to pull the cross member.got the intake pulled and all the old gaskets cleaned off the heads and got my holley 750hp installed with the new throttle cable bracket.just gotta wait for new intakake gasket to come,and i also ordered a new energy suspension tranny mount i wanna install,also im gonna put all new u joints in the drive shaft before installing it.

finally got the tranny all buttoned up,has new energy suspension tranny mount,just gotta put new u-joints in my drive shaft and thats all done.got my front header panel and bumper installed again,just cant decide if i should paint the front nose on or off the car,what do you guys think,would be upset if the paint cracked while installing it.
