We took the Camaro out for a spin on Friday. We did our normal backroads wandering and then headed into town for some fuel. As I'm fueling up a guy about our age comes up and he is asking Teresa and I questions about the car. Another gal comes up and says: There's something green running out...

Member AmberMonet asked for the grill templates and boy did she do an awesome job painting the grill...

I wondered if the owner of this truck is a member here... and if he would like a copy of the photos I took? We were on the 3rd floor at The Double Eagle hotel, and as soon as we checked into the room, I snapped a couple photo's... just as the driver and a woman were getting into the truck...

I just used 3/4" pressure treated plywood.. Bed Floor Wood, Post #1 Sept 2010

Of course... you're right. Maybe a Freudian slip on my part in hopes 2020 never was?
