Well, life is full of surprises !!!!!

To make a long story short, the friend i had sold all my PT stuff and i just came to an agreement. I'm buying everything i had sol him back....with his Camaro project on top!!!!! LOLOLOL!!!! I'm about to be getting seriously crazy with this build!

So it means i'm getting my Forgelines, (19x9 and 20x13), T-56, 6.0L a new camaro body (this one a coupe w/ full custom front and rr susp) C6 Z06 brakes and much much more!!! All the stuff has been mounted fo =r fitting but thats about it, everything is still ne.

The good news is that at the price i got everything back, the car comes almost free! Patience does pay off it seems! I am kind of tight with the move but i could not pass it up.... Wife said you know what you are doing so go ahead, no need to say it twice my love!!!

I just put some original repro SS396 wheels on the car to replace the welds a month ago so i will take the car out and finish the summer and see over the winter if i do the swap over to PT now or maybe enjoy next summer too (yeah right....) but having the parts here and available is calming me somewhat. I think after all those stories i learned to slow down a little. I consider myself lucky at this point so i willl be carefull not to mess it up.

I might do the brakes and wheels rapidly but i wont swap the t-56 or move to the 6.0L all at once, i want to do it gradually. I have my (new) old hooker ceramic headers, mounts, oil pan clutch mount etc etc all in one package so it will be ready when i decide to pull the trigger but whew!!! One at a time!

I'm picking it up next sunday. gotta clean the garage a little.

I dont plan on keepin the other shell tough, i have a spare BB / th400 combo i will put in and since every panel is new on the car and i have a harwood ''Show'' series 4'' hood and a lot of PStreet stuff i will make a nice package and put it up for sale round here and try to come out even with my purchase price so the parts dont cost me anything. If my calculations are allright i should do finee (i usually do very good at this little game so guess we'll see!)

Just wanted to let you guy's know its movin more than i ever tought!!!

Dont you just like it when life gets to you with some nice surprises from time to time!!!

Pics to come!

Lead.
