Awesome pictures. I love how the lighting was done. Would you mind having your son explain how he set up the camera?

Thanks

Great Pics Roger!


The car is okay -- if that's what you're in to... LOL


I thought of you the other day when I was in Austin. Were your ears ringing? :>)

Thanks? for the kind words :)

What was happening in Austin? Hopefully the V8s will go back to COTA and give me an excuse to get back there, really enjoyed it there.

#1 -- They're not coming back.


My daughter came down to Fort Worth while I was there last week during the lull between the Good-Guys Lonestar Nationals --- and the USCA Texas Motor Speedway event. She wants to be a chef and we drove to Austin to look at the Cordon Bleu school there.

I think you are right, but when announcing this years calendar, they made mention of wanting to go back in 2015

Reason given for not being there this years was no suitable date, due to X Games at COTA?

Flash68 03-25-2014 04:41 PM

great pics Rog! and better than the pics, great to see you out in nice weather enjoying that thing.

glassman 03-25-2014 05:58 PM

It looks so weird with nobody driving it....hehehe. I've never seen a right hand Camaro before.

Was watchin Top Gear last nite while they were in Burma, they drive on the right and have right hand drives, and Richard points out "watch, soon a bus will pull out and the people will walk right into traffic" sure enough i laughed my a$$ off....

As car has been on the road for 9 years, thought a little update was due. Put some new wheels on it, PT.2.1 - U367 / Matte Black w/ Polished Lip, same size as previous, 18 x 8" & 18 x 9". Also a talented friend of my son, gave it some paint correction love. It must have worked, couple of snaps from first outing found on Facebook

The noise was also memorable, all the better from a convertible. Here is a pic of yellow Camaro next to me 634 cubic inch. 67 Camaro in front is another BBC, and so on :evil:

Been awhile, the tinkering still goes on, remembering this LS conversion was done way back in 2006 when you made it all up yourself. Engine bay relocated coils to under valve covers, replaced OEM accessory drive with Drive Junky, replaced engine mounts with Holley version, replaced fabricated oil pan with the Holley 302-2. This located engine a bit lower which is what I was after. Installed Dakota Digital RTX gauges, swapped steering wheel to small dish, larger diameter, and black. Switched front springs to Ridetech Streetgrip (so much better ride than the Hotchkis, (again this was along time ago). Upgraded stereo to a bluetooth version. Some pics

Glad to see you're still enjoying the car and making positive changes. Any idea how many miles you've put on the car since "completion"

Around 12,000 - 14,000 miles, I've had 3 different speedo set ups since completion.
