2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

Before the car left Kenny's to come home I asked him to make me down bars in the engine bay which would eventually hold the remote reservoir shocks by Ride Tech.










Now that the car has been home for about 7 months and the first punch list is complete I figure I should do some back
posting to catch get everyone up to date on the car.

When the car left Kenny's the car had some motor issues. No fault of Kenny's but after 6 months Kenny & I decided to give the car to my
buddy Don at Village Auto. Kenny and Stan were able to fix the main issue but were unable to figure out why it would idle and had terrible driveability.

Well after many hours of screwing around with the car Don and the guys at Village Auto figured it out. The Holley HP carb that was our problem and it seems
no matter what we did the carb would dump fuel into the motor when the fuel pump kicked on even if the car wasn't running. So with a quick call to Summit
we ordered up a new old school 650 Holley carb and all of our problems were solved. The car now runs great and it is a tire smoking king which I am certain
is going to get me a ticket or two.

Marty glad to hear it got figured out.

Apparently I am way way behind on updates.

So I am not a big fan of chrome or polished wheels as I really don't like cleaning them and on certain cars it just looks good. For me I just
didn't like how they looked so the wheels and the trim came off and were coated in a Titanium color to give the car a more industrial look.

Thanks Chad

Seems I have an issue with cleaning cars and chrome is just way to much work.

This is more my speed

Carter Hickman did this rendering for me years ago and I think I am going to ask him to update it and put on my new wheels.

Hah, I just want to publicly say I really like your rear end.

So when the car came home back in October I gave it a bath for the first time and Satin paint is really easy to wash. Just make
sure you use a Boars Hair brush as you don't want to polish the finish.

So first thing that we needed to figure out was how to get rid of the old car gas smell.

First up replace the gas cap. The tank I received from Goodmark was for a 71 and up and the cap we had was for a 70. I big thank you goes to the guys at Goodmark for helping me figure this out.




Next up was a filter/vent on a budget.







So 2 months later and no smell. Sometimes budget fixes work great

Last year Victor was kind enough to do a rendering for me.
