Just making sure you all got it right.... This car is out the door!!!

Its nice, but i'm stripping everything out of it (from the gauges to the carbs) and putting everything in the Camaro! Body will be sold off.

Glad you all like it still! Its a monster!

sound sweet but sad to see. i was really looking forward to seeing you car all done with those badass forglines and the zo6 brakes....

You know,

I really like (Love) my wheels too. Its the damn brakes that started all this change, they are so big you can't fit anything under 18" and even at that their face was so large, the choice of wheels was very limited. I went drag racing with a friend and his car and started thinking about how i would fit 15" slicks on my car to go racing (I know i could prolly have fitted 18's, but me, its one way or no way, Drag wheels are 15's period) and realized my brake issue.

As a matter of fact, the wheels are still in my house. My friend took every other thing to his place but still hasn't paid me for the wheels (we agreed to do a split to ease payment) and he said somewhere in October would be it.

I had a comment made about Hybrids (ie; BB eng W/ PT rollers and I'm keeping my Air ride), and am looking into this too. I have 4 wheel discs in the Carlo and was planning on swapping them (altough i'm not sure if the front is swappable from the A body to the F (?) as the are completely new or i might look at some 12" Wilwoods which would still be nice thru the wheels.

One other thing, i live near Montreal, maybe you saw it on the news lately, we have had two bridges (overpass) fall, so that gives you an idea of the conditions of our roads....I kept picturing my bent Forgeline$ and its hard enough as it is, my wife just bent a 17" on her Cabrio last week and took out the tire too so it just confirmed my worries and made me happy of my choice. I have to be realistic some as i don't have an unlimited budget either. The thick flanks of my 27 and 30" tires will be of big help in surviving those problems.

I have pictures to remind me of what it looks like w/ the 20's on it still....
Maybe later (they are putting MONDO cash in the infrastructure since the overpasses thing, we see trucks everywhere repairing this and that. It might be driveable soon! Never know.

(Its also a reason why i want to keep the blower under the hood as i don't picture it with the big wheels. Toughts?)

Hey, has anyone got a pic of a dropped 69 w/ a 6" outlaw scoop?

Lead,

Check this link out. It's not a 69, but I think you will like it.

Boy did you make me think of an idea to feed air to those carbs! There is that relatively new company making those tubes...

Thanks!

I don't really dig the way the rear wheels are tucked in tough... They look too pushed inside (rel to 1/4 panel) for my taste but sure looks killer otherwise!

Thanks again,

Lead.

skatinjay27 09-11-2007 12:45 PM
