Im pretty sure i recall seeing pics of that car with the red GS stripes on the fender

I know the wheels used to be gray like on the ZR1 so thats def possible. Thanks man.. I am glad it went to me too. :)

I was pretty happy about the value I got on this, but I really got excited when I tallied up the invoices the previous owner spent just in 2008 at one shop doing most of the suspension, wiring, and roll cage/bracing work.... just a touch under $30k and probably 2/3 of that was labor! :wow:

Funny, I was calling this thing the "Grand Sport Camaro" to a couple others when I was considering it.

Man, you know what would really help that car---some 20's all the way around--full polished. Gaps look good from the pics-----PASS.

Doug

lol:rofl: :thumbsup:

20s? Hell no. Way too small. I have Rushforth designing me some badass 30s. Yes, you read that right.

These gaps get a pass? I evidently have not showed a good pic of the 3" gap in the sweet fiberglass hood. :D

No worries---Go to Ironworks.com and click on the "Panel Gap Spray". You have to keep reapplying, like Rogain, but it works. Try the Disc Brake Spray as well if you are suffering from drum brake reality. Be careful though, i oversprayed the "Big Arm" spray on my neck and now i can barely turn my head. I am starting to look like Tito Ortiz.

If you keep pimping this gap product Doug I think Scott is gonna make you pay for some sponsorship. :D

Ok, got a couple used parts that will be installed ASAP.

I anticipate these Spintech Pro Street mufflers to be quite loud :unibrow:

HA HA!!:lol: Very nice! We will need a video after the install of the Spintech's for sure Dave.:thumbsup:
Have fun!:cheers:

Indeed! You can barely call those mufflers! Baffles maybe? :D
Should sound sick regardless.

Those sure are some manly components you're adding, GordonSport. :unibrow:

You're out of your mind putting those spintechs on that bruiser. You think you hate 70 on the freeway now. :D

I ran those on my v8 240z. Very rowdy!

thats a lovely choice on mufflers dave;)

Absolutely. Can't wait to get them. Should arrive in about a week or so.

I did a little start up and light throttle blip video today. Coming up here in a bit. Not very good camera work tho. :lol:

Yeah they are bulging straight pipes pretty much! :D

The Grand Sport Viper GTS Camaro lives on! ;)

I know but ever since my 20s and all the Rock and Metal concerts up close, I can't really hear much anyway. And I actually love 70 on the freeway. I did 65 miles of it today. :woot:

Why thankyouverymuch good sir. :cheers:

Ron, that's awesome. I love those old V8 Z swaps. I know a badass one here in Walnut Creek that is just wicked.

go easy on my camera work. at least it's something! LOL

Very nice brother!:cheers:

Very cool! How's that new fan working? Keeping the floor at temp? :lol:
FWIW, I've always liked those wheels on that car! They look great against the blue paint!

Nice!!!

Thanks. Yeah I got the fan plugged into the cig lighter. Works hella good. :D

Sweet runners :lol: Oh yeah and the car sounds good too :yes:

Thanks bro. I was actually surprised it took this long for that comment. :D

I noticed the shoes....but got distracted by the fan on the floor! :lol:

Hey Dave,Just saw this thread. Good score!:thumbsup:

Nice car. Time for some carbon to go with the black wheels.

Tyler

Hey Steve, thanks buddy!

Yo Tyler- I must admit I've been perusing the Anvil site... :_paranoid

Awesome Dave....congrats:woot:

Can't wait to see it this weekend!!:thumbsup:

Haha I just watched that vid!!:lol:

Thanks Nick.. I hope it's ready for Sunday.

Oh, and yes everyone around is jealous of my kicks! :lol:

It's not the shoe that counts....it's how hard you can get the pedal to the metal!!!! Can't see the shoes when you cruise by in the car:D .

Bright and early soldier ......NO .....

Whats up this weekend??

I am going to help him put his mufflers on.

Think Jason from Tracy "torino420" might drive his car out also.

Count me in!

:lol: Nick, did you steal my teddy?

Here is what I will be needing at 7am tmrw!! (coffee, not Jack n Coke, Nick!!)

See ya'all tmrw!

mmm Jack N Coke....

HA HA!!!:rofl: :D

I dont know you but I have to say that is a sweet looking ride. I love the color and the rims look sweet!! The whole set up looks track ready, excellent score!!

Well thank you much, Gaetano! I really have been loving your car as well. Been following yours and others' track-related posts as I start considering venturing down that path. I feel I gotta try it at least since, as you said, this thing has most of the goodies already there.

Had a great Saturday hanging with Nick and Jason at Nick's sweet shop in Livermore. We thoroughly checked out Nick's growing arsenal of badass parts he is collecting for this Chevelle... gonna be killer when done.

Got my car on the lift and checked out the carnage I recently inflicted on the bellhousing. No one can accuse me of not driving this car. :D

Just kidding on the JD... that was just a token of appreciation for Nick's hospitality. The least I could do.

Nick's shop has a sweet frontage road and is tucked back away from the busier main roads in Livermore, so I got some sessions up and down the street. Once Nick sends me the vids I will post them up!

Thanks again to Nick and Jason.
