Smile I started the car for the first time in four years!!!!

Well I have been working pretty hard on the Camaro and for the first time in four years I started the engine and moved the car moved under its own power!!!!! Still need to tune the motor, install the interior and finish a ton of other details, but at least it runs!!!! Here are a few pics. I will post more after I get the engine bay cleaned up.

Same paint and top I had on my 69. Looks great - very clean and straight from what I can see. Grats on getting it running!
