There are still some lingering issues that I need to figure out (like a pesky vibration that comes in at 57 mph but is all gone by about 75) but nothing that seems to be major.

Looking forward to Fontana tomorrow and a cruise up the PCH Friday and then Costa Mesa for the weekend. I can't promise that I'll set the world on fire but at the very least it should be memorable.
Who drive at 57 MPH??? I know I wouldn't if I had your car. Congrats on getting the gremlins out.:cheers:

Nice ride!
 
If it is speed sensetive vibration...at the speeds you speak of regardless of gear or RPM it is a tire ballance issue.

Can't wait for you to get the car sorted out and start beating on it.

You can take Penny for a spin.. I will be running the cheepo spoiler this time
Do I need to bring my helmet? Guessing it'll be a small, low speed course, given the venue and number of spectators. Cheapo spoiler? Heck, I can break one of those just as easily as a nice one! :cool:

Spoiler
 
Speaking of spoilers, does someone fabricate (and sell) the sheet metal type adjustable ones like on James Camaro?

Thanks,
Ron

We shot the car today for Camaro Performers at California Speedway.

Here's a shot not good enough for the magazine as a teaser. :)

It was a really fun experience at California Speedway yesterday with Steve. I think that we made his job a little bit tougher since part of our job was to direct the light where he needed it - unfortunately, it's been six months since we last saw real sun and we were slightly confused by it...

As ususal, a touch of new car drama with the '67 when I blew a fuse trying to roll both windows up at the same time :faint: - sigh...

Not wanting to rist taking anything away from Steve - my favorite picture of the day (as taken by my wife) and new desktop background:

It was another long day but we're finally in Newport and getting ready for a cruise down to Huntington before the Goodguys show tomorrow.

We'll be somewhere between the Mighty Muscle corral and the autocross all weekend.

James, that is one beautiful car.:hail:
ENJOY!!!:cheers:

Definately enjoing it today. :cool:

Went for a nice 50 mile cruise up the Pacific Coast Highway in the middle of the afternoon with no issues (aside from my 57 mph vibration). Temperature never got over 185 - which is a nice change from my old dinosaur big and small blocks. It's still having a fast idle issue but I think that is because of my redneck IAT sensor location.

Nice way to end the week... now bring on the weekend... I'm tired of feathering first and second gear!
