:lol: You know me too well! I sell more track day registrations than I use! I still have a credit at Big Willow.

Thanks all!

Todd, that's a good idea on the possibility of a valve spring tip, hadn't thought of that so that's good place to start before I go ripping everything out.

Matt & all I will let you know what I find on the c-clips. I would be so stoked if they mitigate the knockback issue. I read a post from David Pozzi a long time ago about the Trans-Am cars putting valve spring shims against the c-clips to shim out end play....so it must count for something.

Long time no post!
 
Hey guys!

I haven't touched my car since RTTC last year... Decided to park the car to regroup and divert my efforts into "infrastructure". That is, all the other things that need to be right when having a track car.

My tow vehicle, '89 Dodge D250 Cummins, was in need of some TLC.

Put new wheels and tires on the truck and just got it painted. Went from this

To this!

I am stoked! It's a real dark grey with a lot of metal flake.

Now that's out of the way, back to the Camaro!

Thanks,
Steven

You did a damn nice job on the truck. That's gonna be one sweet tow rig!

Flash68 01-26-2013 06:06 PM

Dude, that truck looks stellar. Great job.

Funny how the truck got painted and the Camaro didn't huh. Priorities? Nahh. :poke:

Ok now what's the plan for the Camaro.... I know you've been putting a thought out game plan together. One that will eventually be deviated from right? :lol:

Good looking truck but you need to get your ass in gear on that race car. :D
