Congratulations Don. Each time a member (this time you) completes his or her truck, it not only gives that member (you) a wonderful sense of joy, accomplishment, and pride. But it also gives hope, encouragement, and a new found inspiration for other members to get out there and work on there own projects. I think we have all found ourselves in that spot where we wonder if we are ever going to drive our truck, it's only natural to feel this, cause lets face it, a whole lot of work goes into each and every truck that gets brought back to life. So Good job Don, you not only built a beautiful one of a kind truck, but you have also just inspired many others still stripping away decades of rust, grease and dirt, yeah we all have the dirty work B4 the beauty work. Rock On Don, you have done good, and have one beautiful truck to enjoy.

I've noticed prices of these style Camaro's are creeping up quite a bit, so figured I'd take a shot.

Very cool! I don't care for the V6 in them, but remember the styling of the Berinetta's. A great site for information about them is 1980 Camaro data - Statistics, facts, decoding, figures & reference information Good luck and love to see pics!
