Mr. Brownstone - 69 PT Camaro

[Richio1]

Headed up to the shop today, finally, so I could check her out in person.

They got the new Ridetech controller and cable installed and it is working great now.

After killing me with some idle chatter, intentionally making me wait while they bolted in the drivers seat, they fired her up. All I can say is holy sh*t. Man was it great to hear her again and boy is she LOUD. I mean LOUD. These Borla XR-1's are way louder then my Flowmaster Super 44's. Sounds like a race car The videos dont even come close to what it sounds like in person. With the AirBar and Shockwaves we had to dump right after the muffler which makes a huge difference. And with the tuning Chris did it just feels and sounds like a totally different motor.

My wife is going to hate it Sorry honey

We jumped in for a drive with Chris at the wheel, to reintroduce me to her, and he put her through the gears a few times. Damn was it a great ride. Pulls real hard and just screams when he punched it.

We had a a little problem with the cam spring on the carb sticking so we pulled over about a mile away to play with it, got back in and noticed she was already getting hot because the fan wasnt kicking on. We headed back to the shop and found the ground was loose.

Unfortunately I had to run and so did they so that was all... but damn was that fun. I was smiling ear to ear... and still am writing about it.

I was so damn excited I forgot to take any pic/video. Next week....

Congrats Jeff! It's a great time in the build so enjoy the moment

Holy cow Jeff---this is a way impressive build. I don't believe I have ever seen a better front end on a 69 that yours. Man---you went all out and didn't hold back. It blows me away that is even the same car--unbelievable man. Beautifully executed thus far--especially the stance. Seems like the guys you have working it are doing their jobs well. Congrats on having one of the nicest cars on this site--

Yeah thanks Ron. Like I said, grinning ear to ear the whole time. Am I the only one who has dreams about there car every night?

Last night I had a dream Chris put a stealth nitrous kit on it and we were street racing Murder Nova... LOL how funny is that?

Thanks Doug... I appreciate the kind words. The guys up at WCAC have gone above and beyond exceeding my expectations. It took Chris a while to convince me one the front end but once I saw the rendering I was in.

As for the stance... You set the bar bro. We're all just trying to nail it like you did.

Oh you betcha Mario (in my best Fargo voice)

Chris sent the carb back to Quickfuel on Friday for a freshen up. We were still having issues with the needle sticking in the seat causing a little hesitation/stumble. Can't have that.

Will get up there once we get it back to take it for a rip. I will have multiple recording devices

Cant wait to see it running. Hopefully mine gets done next then we can go cruising around after the Good guys show in Downtown Pleasanton.

Yeah I hear ya. That will be a blast. We'll scare a lot of women and children with my Borlas and your Spintechs

We still need to get those SoCal guys up here for a cruise too and stuff them full of Mtn Mikes pizza.

Last week Joe said he will be full time on your car starting this week. All my wiring is done. They installed the stereo system Friday. Chris said it kicks ass... not that I will be able to hear it. There is just some little stuff left to dial in (get the carb back, alignment, charge AC, etc.) so now its on to yours they said.

What he said. ^

I thought it was nice when it was black with white stripes. Now it's out of control! Great job pulling this all together building a top notch car!
