1970 Camaro-Purpose Built Auto Cross

[Mac&Otto]

I know these pics are pretty basic, but it's excitingly see things finally fitting up. I'm headed to Palm Springs and Scottsdale for the next three weeks and then the Portland Swap meet to unload left over parts from all our projects. I won't get back to the shop until the first weekend in April, kind of sucks, I'm pumped to get the cage finished. Oh we'll, it will give me time to get motor and wheels here.

Thanks, Cal.

Wow,looks like it coming along great! Even the basics as you call them are way beyond what Im looking at on mine, and its still great to look at the photos! What trans is that youre gonna put in? Great build! Im just in awe. LOL!

I think we all get excited when our projects start to look like something, and that usually means that we start trying to get them done sooner. So, we're going to see more frequent updated in April, right?

Looks great Cal -- just read thru the whole thread. Gotta give a hand to the NorthWET!


Really nice work!

Thank you. I'm running a M-22W built by AutoGear. As an auto cross car I decided to sell my TKO-600 not needing the extra gear. I save a considerable amount of weight and was able to specify the gear's I wanted.

Thanks, Cal.

Yes sir. I'm hoping April is a productive month for the camaro. Paul will be home at the end of April and we will start on his Nomad too. It's good when he's around because he's good at getting things prepped and ready for our work weekends. By the way, your car is looking pretty good and that bumper is really cool.

Thanks, Cal.

Thank you. Wet is right, but the worst is the wind that follows. I'm headed south Monday to get some sun and my hot rod fix. Around here in the winter is pretty hard on the car guys.

Thanks, Cal.

Cal,

The car looks great. However try being a car guy in Chicago. Between the Ice, the snow, the pot holes, the salt and the below zero temperatures it really sucks and don't get me started about Mountain bike here in the winter. I had to buy a fat tire bike so I could ride in all of the snow we have here. Did i mention the 3.8" wide studded tires for bike cost over $200.00 each.

Thanks. Maybe I shouldn't complain after hearing those details. One thing I would do different on those 200.00 mountain bike tires, they would be connected to a motorcycle. You mountain bike guys are extreme, I like gasoline powered toys. I'm sure those bikes are cool.

Thanks, Cal.
