Hood and wiper cowl are on. I will try to get some pictures posted soon. Still need to finish the wiring and assemble the rest of the interior. Also, the front coil springs are too stiff. Going to swap them out with a different set and hope it corrects the ride height. If anyone needs some brand new springs for a 2nd gen Camaro with a BBC - holler.

Going to attempt to fix the oil leak tomorrow. Then on to the fuel leak. Fun stuff...

Hoping it will start right up and run after those two things are addressed. ::fingers crossed::

Loose oil filter... the old man is slipping. Tightened the filter, topped off the oil, started right up.

Still chasing the fuel leak. And damnit if it doesn't have a transmission leak. It appears the top oil cooler line on the trans is hitting the floor of the cab. Going to get after it again this weekend.
