Funny because I figured the odds weren't too far fetched with OCIR and the bike when I found that pic.

So you planned that..yeah i had to wait a long time for that bike then i modified it and it went to **** LOLOL

I also noticed in your pics from the vintage road races the Maeco Motorsports boyz were there. I know them, there shop is 10 mins from me

Did a little clean up after the two short road trips, which led to getting the buffer out and hitting the topside with some fine cut cleaner.

The Ol' boy ain't lookin' too bad for 24+ year old occasional driver paint!

She looks good How was driving it after all the changes?? I take it this was the longest trip so far??

Planned? If you call seeing orange crate and having a and going to Google images a plan.

That Group 5 Historic class is good stuff, if you get a chance go! Strolling the pits is very interesting and entertaining. There's a lot of coin going into fielding those cars.

that looks just right. Great stance, i love the black rims, orange paint...i've said this before , blah blah blah.
But with that said, still one of the best lookin cars on the planet, the 69 has to be in my top 5 fave's of all time, and yours is set up just right imo,...

Seating comfort and ergonomics are as good as any car I've ridden in. The taller gas pedal concerned me but it wasn't even an issue. The less than optimum front geometry with the quick ratio steering box is twitchie in the stud ruts we have around here. The close ratio T56 Mag is worth every last cent I paid for it! The 3:31 rear gears are a little tall, 3:50's or maaaybe 3:73's would be an improvement. Optimum cruise rpm for engine temp appears to be 2,200-2,400 rpm so that's 5th at 67-70 mph, 6th is a ticket in that rpm range (82+ mph) but a nice cruise option to have at times. The driveline angles are still not ideal, it probably needs another 2* up on the pinion to get it really smooth but it's not something most people would even notice.

No carburetion complaints though it's still probably a little rich. The carb came with 70 mains in the primary and secondary, I put 68's up front before this trip and it was a little crisper, don't have another set of 68's but I have 67's so I may throw them up front and 68's in the secondaries and see how it responds and how the plug bases read.....experimenting going any leaner than that without an AF gauge would be

All said it's not too bad and much better than it was before the fire........the priority is geometry.....it can generate a lot of speed now and with the basically stock geometry that's not a good thing. I may research the viability of doing the Guldstrand mod to the subframe if it can be done through the wheel openings. I have a spare set of lower arms that I can reinforce in the balljoint and bushing areas and throw some firm bushings in there and install the Hotchkis sway bar I also have and call it good until I can find more

Thanks Gentlemen. It's times like this that make hanging on to it for 24+ years worth it all.

So it was spur of the moment and I've been to many vintage races over the years..... they do rock

You should of borrowed my AF gauge when i offered it to you OH well I'm glad your car is moving forward and you're enjoying it!..You've put more miles on your Camaro this week then i have on mine in 2 years Keep us updated and next time TAKE REV WITH YOU, HE'D LIKE THAT !!

BTW Does your car have a 12 bolt or?? I have OEM GM 3.73 (8.5 rear) and want 3.31 or 3.42..maybe a trade??
