Nice shots. I really like the flares on the rear quarters!

Hey, did you ever get those little issues like leaks, etc. addressed?

Pretty much. There is still a slight valve cover leak... and the suspension creaks a bit... but things seem to be pretty good. I have been daily driving her.
I did have to modify my control arms... on hard turns the lower control arms were digging into the rotors. Strange because the exact set up was used prior with no issues. Only thing that was changed was we added drop spindles.
Other than that... i really enjoy driving the camaro.

Josh,

Don't let the little things get to you... You do have to be builder, engineer, tuner, driver... These cars are "projects" and take lots of tweaking. If you look at it as a learning experience - and an experience it is... then it's fun. Anybody can buy a Porsche... :hail: :lol:

I'll also bet that NOBODY comes to talk to you when you fill up the "regular" cars... and you're having a parade every time you take the Camaro out.


EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

The pictures are awesome. I love that rear quarter shot.

I love the tinkering part. Lol.
And it is crazy when I stop for gas. I can get caught up for 30 minutes chatting with random people. It's kinda strange on the highway. People almost wreck snapping pics. They have almost rear ended cars in front of them. Crazy for sure. Even mini vans rev at me at red lights. Pretty funny. Cool part is every one is so friendly about it. In the hopped up Porsche you can get bad looks and hated on. Every one seems to love the muscle. Lol.

With the depreciation hit of the 996TT's in recent years, this is a very true statement! :D

Hey Josh,

I welcome your car to Cali! I actually was leaving my house yesterday in Carlsbad when you pulled up next to me near the airport. Your car looks AWESOME and sounds great!!! The attention to detail is OUTSTANDING!

I was tempted to run home and grab my 68' Camaro and realized I don't have it back from my motor swap yet. I am about a year behind you in my restoration. This is my third restoration I am completing on this car. I keep wanting to change things up!

Let me know if you plan on taking it to any local shows or cruises. After checking out your gunmetal and black stripes; I may have to reconsider my 2002 Corvette blue and white stripes that I currently have :thumbsup:

Very cool! Thanks for the compliment!
What car were you in? I have been on Palomar airport rd. and El Camino every day. DC shoes is right off Palomar.
Sad news is the car is getting loaded and shipped back home tomorrow. I want to get it back and put in a front sub frame over the winter. After logging at least 1k in miles.... and based on the ride i got in Vegas in Vegas69's car.... AND with the driving habits that i have... i want the front sub frame. I'll probably go with a Speed Tech frame so i don't have to change my wheels.
Thanks again for the compliments. Im glad you got to see her in the streets!!
