My '69 is done and hit the road
 

Hey guys, pretty much finished the car late Wednesday night for it's first test drive. I was pretty nervous to say the least. Took it to a local cruise on Sunday and was quite overwhelmed with the postive remarks. I've also got 3 offers to buy it already, but I told them all: Not For Sale!

Well it's got minor issues like rattles and things not working 100% properly. (exhaust rattle, speedo not working properly etc) But all the drivetrain and suspension had no hicups. I haven't opened her up too much as all is still pretty new. The LS1 feels great, seems docile down low until it hits above 4K and the tires start to break loose pretty easily.

I still have to get my exhaust cermaic coated and a few little bugs fixed, but she's pretty much done...for now

Check my sig for pics, the first 10 are new.

wow..car looks great. Every LS1 Camaro I've been in doesnt come "alive" until 4K, so you must have a good one. :thumbsup:

I had never been in an LS1 car period. But I am happy with the results so far.

looks nice.....every car has a price tag you just have to find that magic number :yes: :D

love the color Rybar :thumbsup:

Looks great and I love the color, but isn't the word "done" a no-no in this hobby. Just kiddin, it looks done to me.

WOW!! Ryan the car looks great!! 10X better then the other pics!!! great stance and color, Great job, pat yourself on the back :thumbsup:

By the way where's the AFM and who made the tub,???

Looks fantastic! Do you have a pic of the rear? I'd like to see how the body colored rear bumper looks from behind.

Nice
 

The car looks fantastic!!From the pics I can say that I would not change a thing on your car. Very nice work,you should be proud of what you have accomplished, and I am sure you will have loads of fun with your ride.Enjoy!
Just be sure to let us know when there is a spread of your ride on the news stand,because I am sure that it's only a matter of time. :yes:

Scott, you gotta update my page sometime. Those old 4x4 pics are killing me. :lol:

Those guys are still around, were going to cruise and hit some shows together this year. The Red 68 traded hands to another guy we know. It should be fun. The Killer Customs '69 should be done this year and I know of a couple others in the works.

Send some on over, I'd be more than happy to update your page. :thumbsup:

black stripes are very cool, i would love to see some black wheels photoshopped in.

Thanks bud, I'll get you some soon as I take some new better quality pics.

Ryan

Fantastic. That color really makes the car. Excellent job. :thumbsup:

Congrats!! It must feel great to finally get her done. Now is the time to enjoy before you feel the need to tweek something a little different. Because it's a never ending battle of change.

I think you may have acheived the elusive "Perfect Car"!
I'm over in the Kootenays. Been going to the Cloverdale swap meet the last few years. If you get there it would be great to touch base.

Ryan that is great. There is no better feeling than to turn out on the road the first time. You have done a great work and it is for sure magazineworthy :hail: :hail:



Jan

Do you have any pics of the car before?? I'd like to see how far it came.
