Just wanted to say thanks to Jeff for hauling me all around Hawaii and giving me the real tour of the islands. And of course Steve who contacted me about the car on a Wednesday and needed me there on Friday. Even though I knew about this car for about 2 years, I was never certain the car would be bought. Also I would like to thank Bert, his brother Bruce, and there mother for making everything go real smooth. Bert your Mom is great and she was always making sure we were never hungry. And thanks to Brian for providing his truck and trailer to move the car.
This car is without question one of the neatest finds I can think of. The car is in remarkable shape and I really think we should be able to use nearly everything over in the restoration. The concerns I had about the car from the pictures were layed to rest in person. It would appear at this time that the interior should be a beautiful survivor. Like so many thngs on the car, they will clean up great. What rust that is present is for the most part light surface rust and would appear the metal is unharmed. Certain things that amaze me about the car are the little things like the rear package try that has NO deterioraton what so ever, one of the first things to turn bad due to sun fade etc. The underside is super clean and should provide us with the perfect blueprint on how the car was painted as well. The surviving drivetrain components are incredible. The bulk of the entire Dana installed equippment is still intact. The only major item lost would be the Doug Headers. They simpley failed the test of time. A suitable replacement will be on the "needs list". The paperwork on the car is nothing short of amazing. SCW looks forward to to bringing back this DANA Camaro to it former glory. Thanks to Steve and Bert, that will happen. We will try our best to do the car justice...BKH
