thanks everyone for the support and help. i really appreciate it. to answer some of the questions so far...
1. darrell, i thought about that but thankfully reconsidered as im not that crazy yet
2. bill, darrell is correct. im looking for this to be a top notch job. we can do most everything besides the paint/body although having one place do it all is an option.
3. dave, thats cool about the yenkos. i wasnt aware of that. based on the known % numbers of black camaros in 67 and knowing how unusual red interior is, we had ballpark-guessed around 5 or 6 being made of the L78 cars. my car and the vert is 2, plus the two yenkos would equal 4...which is around our estimate. of course the yenkos were converted. i bet those are filthy looking.
4. steve, honestly i dont know that any distance is out of the question.
