Marty,
Looks great, you must be getting wipped out driving back and forth from Hi-Speed down to BBT.
Let me know next time your going down I'm up for a ride.

The car looks great with the front spoiler and rocker fairings. They did a beautiful job on the gaps. As always awesome job!

Trust me it's good to have it back in the garage. It's so much easier to walk the 26 feet from the house then to drive the 2 1/2 hours to Troy's.

2nd Chance Camaro - Rocky Mounts

2012 04-30 Update - Rocky Mounts www.rockymounts.com
www.2ndchancecamaro.com


This post is all about my first love (other then my family of course). I am a die-hard mountain biker it is very hard for
me to miss a ride in the summer due to a show schedule. The only way to solve this was either to buy a Lotus and
order a rack from Unique Racks http://uniquerack.com so I could have a cool car with a bike rack on it. But it didn't
solve the problem. I wouldn't be able to do any of the Good-Guys shows (www.good-guys.com ) since the Lotus would
be was newer then 1972.

So here is my dream bike and I am trying to figure out a way to mount the bike on the side of the car and wondering how it would
look. I know most people would put it on the back but that is way to boring for me.

Now that I determined the location all I have to do is find the best looking tray on the market. When I was in Colorado at
Cankworx ( www.crankworx.com ) I walked by the Rocky Mounts Display ( www.rockymounts.com ) and saw the perfect
tray. I wanted to buy one at the show but I figured Southwest wouldn't let me carry it on the plane home.

I ordered up the tray the day I got home and started mocking it up on the car.




You can see that the tray's has a very thin profile and looks very clean on the side of the car. I can't wait to order a set
for my daily driver.

I hauled the car back to High Speed Welding ( www.highspeedwelding.com ) and showed Dennis and Joe my idea.
Good thing for me both of them thought it was a cool idea.

We have two goals make it removable so I can run the car through a car wash and to try not to disturb the original lines
of the car.



When the tray is removed all that will be left is two stainless steel bungs on the quarter. Kenny will be making a cap to
cover them up when the Rocky Mount tray is removed.





Since this hole was already on the side of the car we choose to use it for the rear mount.





Here is the finished product.

I AM RIGHT HERE


Just in case you didn't read the warning the first time.

I am well aware that most people think I am crazy and that is okay and here is my thoughts on that. I hear parents every
day telling me that all there kids do is play video games. Then I point out that most adults sit on the coach at watch Sports
and the latest TV Series. So as parents they are no better. So get out and do something active instead of telling your
kids when I was young we never watched TV we were out playing. Live life guys and gals as this may be the only one you get.

I also need to thank my buddy Rick for showing me pictures of the Lotus Bike rack years ago. Without those pictures I may
have mounted on the back of the car and that would have just been boring.

Marty,

Does the forward mount tie into the sheet metal on the surface, or does it pierce the sheet metal and tie into the roll bar too?
