Lightning Auto Customs has donated a shift boot for a T56 in a 67 Camaro, along with the plans for the bezel, which I am going to draw up in SolidWorks and have made up. This thing is NICE! They also hooked us up with some vinyl decals.

Our engine will also be at the terminal next Wednesday, so then the fun begins with that! Big thanks to National Parts Depot for the free ride for our engine on one of their trucks cross-country!

SPEC Stage 2 clutch and Billet steel flywheel graciously donated by SPEC Clutch!



It is down to the wire here guys and there is still no car. Something always seems to happen when we find a car, and it is getting down to the wire. PLEASE keep your eye out for a 67 or 68 for $2500 or less. The last one a guy I know bought the car out from under me, knowing what I needed the car for.

Yep, we got it off of the pro-touring.com board. Just made a deal on it last week. We're planning on heading up to pick it up the beginning of September. Great guy to deal with, goes by the name aussiebj on the PT board. He's even going to install the floorboards for us before we come get it.

He's done more work since these pictures, but at least it gives you an idea!



And the before shot:


We also got our engine in today. Strictly Performance donated the engine and NPD had it delivered to us on one of their trucks. Heading to HRT Performance this week to start the rebuild.

NY car, huh? If it's on Long Island, try to pay Twist a visit. Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays are best.

Wow, isn't that convenient! It is on Long Island and we'll be there on a Saturday! I'll keep you posted on when we'll be there!

Cool, but it might not be too convenient. They don't call it Long Island for nuthin' and we're pretty far out, so call first.

Will do. I'm heading up with my dad who is like a human atlas. I told him "it's just Long Island" and he just laughed.

We're headed to the Eastern side, just south of Medford.
