Tonight I passed a milestone: the Camaro is off jack stands and on its own 4 tires.

I assembled the front end, then had to get all the nuts torked down properly, and install pins

Added the front brakes

Bolted on the front wheels

Off the jack stands!

After the Camaro was up on the jack stands for so long, I forgot that the Camaro has a pretty low slung look, which you can already see before the engine and trans go in.

Next on the schedule, is to bolt in the engine and transmission.  It will be good to clear the floor of the garage a little.

The end of July and August I was getting pretty dedicated to working on the Camaro.  Here's what I was working on:

The radiator support has some rust (from the battery)

I used some real craftsmanship to get the springs compressed (the spring compression tool I borrowed wasn't quite enough)

Finally did get the springs in there!

Progress is steady with my 1971 Camaro Sport Coupe

• Remove, clean, paint the front subframe
• Repaired mounting holes damaged from rust
• Remount the subframe using Global West mounts
• Lots of other stuff!

I am really excited about my progress.  The project is daunting but it doesn't seem as remote as it once seemed.
