That sucks dude.

This kinda eerily reminds me of that old jinx of whoever was on the new Madden NFL video game for the year got hurt that year.

I've decided to go with the GM melonized gear. That is what GM recommends for there cast rollers. Mine has a cast gear so it should give me the longevity I want.

I added my video to the feature, here it is.

AWESOME CAR AND AWESOME JOB TODD!!

It's nice to see that your dream car is finally a reality. As a builder and lifelong Camaro guy, I know these builds take time. Of the many Camaro's I've owned over the years, each one always gives me new ideas. What you've incorporated here is just incredible. It can sometimes be difficult for an idea to come to life as it can somewhat get lost in translation and other people sometimes have ideas that can cloud the owners (your) true vision. Your attention to detail is top notch and you stayed the course with the car you've had in your head all these years. As with all builds, there were hiccups along the way and you've found that parts are not always what they should be. As a builder, those little gremlins drive me nuts.

It's good to see someone who doesn't build these cars for a living go through the process. I've had several customers help-out with their own projects over the years and they all tell me afterwards that they never had any idea that these cars required so much work. Some of the shows on the tube give people the impression that these cars can be done in a week. So many things can happen along the way that are out of your control and all you can do is try to rectify the situation. As a builder, that can be tough to explain to a customer since they only see it as a delay. You worked through your issues and ended up with an INCREDIBLE CAMARO. Congrats on the "Car of the month" award, you deserve it.

When I finally get my butt out to LasVegas, I would like to come bye and see that "Beast" you built.

P.S. My wife saw the pictures and loves the Camaro. Her exact words were "WOW, that's beautiful"
