2nd Chance Camaro - Goodmark Fuel Tank
2013 03-13 Update -Goodmark Fuel Tank
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Morning All,

Okay, as most of you already have guessed I am way behind on posting updates. Let's just say the last 9 months
have been really fun (sarcasm). Chemotherapy is finally over and it's time to bring you guys up-to-date on the
car. As for my health everything looks good and so far all of my test have come back perfect. Good news!

Now back to our regular scheduled Updates.
Since we are running a Carburetor on the car I ordered up a Goodmark Industries stock replacement tank from Summit
Racing. I also ordered all new hardware to install the Tank. Summit Racing has sure received a bunch of my money in
the last year. You can't beat there service and pricing.

I really like seeing Made in the USA & Made In Canada.

Kenny will make the necessary modifications on the front of the tank for the fuel line and the Edelbrock electric fuel pump. The Fuel Pump
will be mounted on the tank directly behind the differential. Moving the lines to the front of the tank is much safer then having them coming
out of the back of the tank and being exposed.

On the power Tour several years ago a car with a low hanging fuel tank & rear exiting fuel lines caught on fire after it gently rear ended at
a stop light. Moving to lines to the top or front of the tank is much safer location.

Marty, great to hear/see from you. So glad to here things are on the up.
Been in the saddle at all?

Best wishes, mike

Glad to hear everything is coming back with great results.

Thanks Mike,

Been trying to get out at least 2 days a week. But the weather here has been very very wet which has wiped out the trails. Hoping to get out tomorrow because the spin bike in my basement is going to be te death of me.

Thanks Cole.

2nd Chance Camaro - A Few NOS Parts
2013 03-13 Update - A Few NOS Parts
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Morning All,

Trying to keep up with the Made in America theme I searched the internet and found all of the NOS parts I needed. Tom at
Courtyard Camaro was a great help. If it's for a 2nd gen Camaro he has it our can point you in the right direction.

Nice looking stuff
 

I am sure that was cheap. LOL

NOS stuff always fits the best and worth the extra cash in my opinion.

I searched for a NOS Cowl hood but couldn't find one. So Kenny grabbed a GoodMark cowl hood for me.

I don't believe they ever made a stock cowl hood for a 2nd gen. Correct me if I'm wrong? My cowl was grafted on from a chevelle SS hood, it has no "line" down the middle.

Not sure either.

I've always like fit & quality of goodmarks hood. So the plan was to buy there hood from the getgo

Nice parts score with the NOS pieces Marty. Keep us update on getting them cut in and installed. :popcorn2: Always liked the 2nd gen's.

Nice collection. :cool:

For those keeping score at home, Marty FTW! :thumbsup:

Good Morning All,

Keeping with the goal to purchase as many bolt on as possible I ordered the direct fit LS swap radiator with fan kit for 2nd Gen
Camaro's. It's a great looking piece and very affordable and it will save time and reduce my fabrication costs.

Good Evening All,

Checking the fitment on the G-Braces and it looks pretty good.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...12c6475-me.jpg

I love the old school Edelbrock Air Cleaner however it just won't work for this project. Maybe I'll do a street rod so I can finally use it.

2nd Chance Camaro - Helping out a Good Friend
2013 04-11 2nd Chance Camaro - Helping out a Good Friend
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Evening All,

About a year ago a very good friend was in need and some of the Vendors stepped in to help his family out.
Lateral-g.net & Pro-Touring.com both held auctions for parts that were donated by various vendors. I was
lucky enough to win parts from both Fesler Built & Holley for the Camaro. In the end it was a win-win for all.

A Very nice a set of Billet Tail

Hey Marty things look like there coming together looking great buddy! now that most of the crap work is done its time to start doing the fun stuff! keep chipping away on it and it will be on the road in no time!:D

Good lookin' bits there Marty. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys.

Nice work so far and a lot of very nice parts,sure hope to see it in Columbus

That is our goal. I am pretty confident we are going to make it.

Still scoring the sweet parts I see Marty. Niiiiiice!! Now lets git 'er dun!!

Elly's Angels!
 

Elly's Angels raised enough monies to help with medical bills and to purchase a much needed special CF vest... for which we are very greatful!

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps21b15ff2.jpg

Here she is at Easter...

:lateral:

Scored some and bought some to finish off the car.

and that is why I love these Boards. It's great that everyone comes together like a family.

What you guys need to know about Marty is that he is a professional sandbagger! :lol: he probably has 1000 miles on it already! :RunninDog:

Okay Chad is correct. I am way way behind in posting. I would say at least 30 posts. But I promise we will show finished pictures before Columbus. Hopefully sooner.

ps I need to get that Kenny guy to send me more pictures and he's taken his picture skills to the next level by taking them with his iPhone.

The....posting....is.....soooooooo....slooooooowww :bang: :mock: :mock: :mock: :bang:

in the words of the famous American philosopher, "Git-er done...."

Seriously though, its coming together really really nicely Marty.

Some chance you'll be at SEMA this year?

Like to meet ya, Mike...

Thank you very much Mike were getting closer. Kenny just opened his 3rd body shop which is awesome. So he has been really busy. But the car is still getting worked on.

Sema yep I am going and I am even going to spend the weekend mountain biking and site seeing this year. So without a doubt we need to hook up.

I was actually thinking of driving down to Vegas this year rather than flying, if that's the case.....I could bring my mountain bike and barge in...how would u get it there?

Driving the car out there with the bike on it? Be brave lol

I drove home in 2010 and I swore I would never do it again. 1732 miles in a Camaro was fun till I needed a nap. When I got home I was so sore I laid in the hot-tub for an hour.

Ok to be serious most likely it will get hauled out there in Kenny's trailer and the bike will be on the side. I am trying to find another frame like the bike I ride and build a 2nd bike just for the car. So I will always have a bike on the car.

I do have a bike for the car but it's a hard tail and I am fairly certain my surgeon would tell me not to ride the bike.

Bike mount details please
 

Marty,

Love the build. When you catch up on the posts could you show a little detail on the MTB mount. Riding is my second love and it would be cool to put something like that on my 67. Sometimes it helps to see an idea close up to get the juices flowing. I have been riding more than working on the car. In a weird way seeing your bike mount got me out in the garage - go figure !!

2nd Chance Camaro - High Speed Welding Bike Rack

Good Evening All,

Here is an inside look at the "B" Pillar.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1cb08b3-me.jpg

Once all of the welding was complete Joe added a final plate to increase strength.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d29bfa9-me.jpg

There was already a hole in the quarter panel from the antenna so we decided that the rear mount would use the existing hole.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...019b21d-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3f4cce7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2b61fd0-me.jpg

The mount is then bolted to the bung which exits the quarter panel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5105810-me.jpg

We used the existing brackets from Rockymounts to anchor the tray to our bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7d28e03-me.jpg

Both mounts are removable and once removed all that is left is the bung.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...64f9cff-me.jpg

Well done, Marty!!!!!


--Eric

I have the same problem you do. I am torn between working on my car or my bikes. Then you add riding into the mix and it really screws everything up.

Thanks again for your compliments on the build.

Marty, I was talking with Kenny the other day and he said I needed to look at your 2nd gen camaro and the bike. WOW what a cool idea. Can't wait to see it done..Keep up the great work.
Ed

Thanks Ed I really appreciate the compliment.
