Vertigo is now at Gearhead Garage!

[Flash68]

As several of you know, I decided recently to move my car to a shop who has more experience and can handle my project. Nothing against the previous small one-man operation that was working on my car, but the progress just wasn't happening. So after almost 2 years I pulled it and this weekend is was move to Gearhead Garage in Sacramento - and a Lateral-G sponsor. The owner Jason and the shop was highly recommended by 2 local guys here on the forum also with 1st gen Camaros (Mazspeed and Mdprovee) and it was important to me to have the car closer to me this time around. I can be at the shop now in 1:15.

See www.gearheadcars.com and check out Jason's killer website.

Also, "Vertigo" has personal meaning to me and motivated me to do a project of this magnitude. Of course I just didn't think it would take 2+ years!

I am stoked to have the car in the new location now and my enthusiasm is now back to where it should be. Here's a couple pics.

I can't express how happy I am for you! I know how bummed you have been with the drawn out project and I'm sure those days are well behind you! Having it close to home will be nice, you can stop by and check things out, and if they have a question you can schedule a visit and make a decision in person...can't beet that!

Keep the updates coming!! Any idea of when the car will be finished?

Thanks Tony. I am so glad both of us are in good hands now!

Timeline depends on how fast I can throw $ at it. So... that could mean January on the fast side, and Feb/March on the slow side. The goal is to have it possibly done for the AutoRama in Sac in early Feb, but if not then, definitely by Good Guys in March.

Glad to see some sort of progress.

Sounds like it will be finished fairly quickly! This is good!

Flash,

The car looks nice and it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel for you. Keep us posted

Aha...found it! Look at Jim Johnson's '68 Camaro on the Lat-G homepage. He's running '69 lights, upside-down,on a '68 Camaro.His car is the red one w/flares, sitting in the snow.

You gotta get up real early in the morning to be the 1st to try anything on a 1st gen Camaro. Pretty much EVERYTHING is a variation on a theme. Long ago, we discovered that the wheel was round...we're still trying to make it cooler, sleeker, faster, right?

Thanks for posting, Skip. I spend quite a long time looking for that Camaro on the homepage before I found it!

Looks pretty cool, but I still like my setup better.
