It's a sweetie, does it run? I mean is it in roadworthy condition?
OK go ride it then, enjoy your hard work. :D

Judging by the Rally wheels, must be a first-gen Camaro...which would be awesome.

i changed my guess back and forth between nova and chevelle about three times.

just about any gm can wear those wheels; including s-10's.

hey brad, you have a build thread for your bike right? i seem to remember you working on that tank. post link?

btw: smart choice for the fender. makes it recede so as to be less noticeable.

I was gonna call a Chevelle.  I grew up in one so I know them pretty well from the outside.  Door handles and fender/window joint gave it away.  
Oh and the bike is slicker than snot!
