Its been a while since I visited and posted progress on this, mainly because its been a while since I worked on the car. money ran dry for a while, so I kinda got disgusted and stopped for a bit. BUT, I've started working on it again!! thanks to my 6 year old daughter for giving me motivation (she wants to go to cruise nights in it, LOL)
back in '10 I had picked up a pair of tires for the camaro rims labeled front, put them on and realized they weren't gonna work.
so after figuring a bunch of the backspacing out I though that the front rims would work better in the back and the back rims better in the front with a tad smaller tire on them ( the rims labeled "rear" stuck out to far, so the tire was hitting the lip of the fender) thats where I left off it '10. this past week I ended up picking up a pair of tires off craigslist for $50 to finally see if my theory will work, and I actually think it will. wont' know till I get it on the road, but from how it sits it might just make it.
I'm also needing a new master cylinder since I put disk on the front, hopefully be ordering that in a week or so.
In the meantime, I would really like to get to a cruise night with my daughter this year in this car, so I'm gonna put some new gaskets on and some fresh fluids and start her up. I know its not the prettiest motor out there, but it sure runs good! maybe over the winter I could pull the motor and clean it up and rebuild it. I would love to drop an LS motor in, but on a tight budget that is nearly impossible.
OH, and now I need a new low profile jack to get under the car. since it sits so low I can't get my old craftsman under the subframe, LOL.
