After 2 years of work... first drive

Started this project back in Dec. of 2013. Picked a 67 cab up in dallas and 69 swb frame in San Antonio. Bought a totaled out 2002 camaro Z28 with a ls1/t56 combo and started. After many busted knuckles and a empty wallet, I got her on road. And guess what.... it was totally worth it! First and only picture I got today just thought I would share.
