Careful with those jack stands big boy. They look pretty stretched. I bought some harbor frieght furniture dollies and screwed a piece of 3/4 plywood to them then bolted the 2 in the rear together for stability and ND the bolted together the fronts. Gave me an extra 5 inches and allowed me to roll it around in the garage

 

[Mr Monte]

Those rear jack stands are 40+ years old and more stable than the newer ones I have. I always give a vehicle a good shake before going under.

Just keeping my brothers safe.

Pulled the doors today to cut some holes and run some wiring. Back together and doors aligned. Fenders & hood are on and everything fits under the hood. The radiator cap looked high before I lowered the radiator.

Monte, this car has to go in a magazine. I'm going to contact this guy and see what he thinks

 

[Mr Monte]

Worked on driver's fender alignment & bolting to fenderwell. Need to adjust driver's door front lower out abit then that side is done.
45° elbow arrived and it's the perfect size. Tomorrow I will turn cardboard into metal.

 

[Mr Monte]

Driver's door & fender alignment done. Turned the cold air cardboard into metal today but ran out of time to finish install. Going to Disturded concert tonight.

10,000 fists in the air!

 

[Mr Monte]

Passenger side door & fender alignment completed. The aftermarket fenders are not perfect but I'm too old to take the time to make them perfect. Passenger fenderwell all bolted in. I ended up using button headed bolts for the fenderwells for more clearance & cleaner look.

I'm leaving on a 6 week 10K+ mile roadtrip in 5 days and trying to get the cold air intake finished which is very close. Today I worked on downsizing the 2011 Camaro washer tank to fit within the cold air cavity of the 73.

I now have it in 3 pieces and hopefully will make it a 1 leakfree piece
