Default New guy from Oxnard/Ventura.

Never really introduced myself. Im a mechanic in ventura, and this is my daily driver/toy 1974 Camaro Z28. Its a 350/350 car. Ive already done alot to it, the front and rear suspension are done except for shocks. I have Hotchkis springs front and rear, Pro Touring F Body upper Control arms with tall ball joint, global west del-a-lum lower control arm bushings in the stock arms(PTFB and Hotchkis both came out with lowers less than 6 months after I did mine lol). Next on the list is wheels/tires and after that Kore 3 brakes all around. Also going to get subframe connectors, and then re-do the interior.

The goal at this point is to have the money for some decent 3 piece 17's by christmas time.

Also ive been tinkering alot with it to get better mileage, I just hit 17.9 MPG highway going from Oxnard to Fontana(and that was with labor day traffic). Im going to over-inflate my tires and lean out the carb just a little more and see if I cant hit 19 or even 20 :
