1972 Camaro Procharged LS1/T-56 17 year old kid

[Ron in SoCal]

This post is overdue. When I read about your support of the school class project and now this, I just gotta say something. The purpose of this site is community and you Frank are one of the leaders. If not for community, it'd just be another hobby with snobby shop owners turning their noses up at guys just getting started. Believe me, I've met them in the custom boating, motorcycle and now the pro-touring world. What's with these prima- donnas anyway?

Thanks for all the good things you do Frank. Love you or hate you, no one can say you're not a good man.

Ron

P.S. The build is killer!

Nice build, please keep us posted with lots of updates.

[QUOTE=tuff57;273620]thank you! Yeah my father was like get rid of it when we found out the transplant brackets were going to be so much money, but I wanted to build something different so I'm going along with it. I can't wait for it to be done.[/QU

great job on staying focused on your dream, even when the na sayer's come out of the wood work.

Thank you so much guys. All the nice comments are great. This car is the definition of how hard work pays off to me. I would work 100 hours a week if it meant getting this car done sooner and building it the way I want it. It went from being a simple daily driver idea to a full blown pro-touring hi tech hot rod. I couldn't have asked for a better response and what Frank has said has only added on to the experience. I will keep this as updated as possible. I am at work now untill 7:00 so I will be talking to Frank soon after. It makes me feel proud that I'm getting a bunch of older guys then myself who have been building cars for years saying I have a nice project going. And to the comment of building it with my father has also been great. We have been so close and dealed with the stress of putting the LS1 in the car together and made it work as a team.

Deffinatly might have to take you up on this! The computer is tuned from the GTO, so hopefully I can keep the tuning that it has. As on an update of the car my father and I started making the crossmember, but up here in new york we got hit with a huge storm and just got power and internet back today as the rest of my surrounding blocks has none. So this weekend was a washout, for this week I'd still like to finish the crossmember and get the headers in place. I will be ordering the Procharger bracket and my power steering pump and bracket this week. My blower will also be sent to Procharger to get it's reclocking and to be gone through.

I have several russell/edelbrock fittings. I know I have the one for the fuel rail and the vette fuel filter. Pm me your info and they will be on their way.

I think I may have other parts but need to get back in the garage and work on my own project and see what else I have.

Keep up the good work. I am sure you are making your father proud and that is a gift/felling that he will always remember.

Hope I helped with my Info on the procharger. That tranplant set-up is the way to go no-doubt. If I can be of any more assistance let me know.
