Let me know if I can help any.

Thanks Curtis, Yes, that's what I'm thinking... LS3, Speed Tech torque arm, etc. but keep the look old school. I'd love to have a second car and do do as you are here, but I know I'll never track it. Just hate the 49 year old handling and want to drive it more.

Thanks!

We have movement. It's detail work now and we all know those small things aren't exactly small when it comes to the time they take. But details count!!

Such an amazing week at Sema with dad’s 40. Even though Curtis and I couldn’t make the road trip back home we made the most of the day @ Optima. So much fun being in his garage working on the camero to get it out there.

He did look at me to tell me that he could just hear Dad yelling at him to put the seat belts in, but I called him a ***** and we rolled without them.



I couldn’t be more thankful for this community and for dad bringing me around everyone.

NO BAD DAYS

It was like riding inside a beer can without the interior. I still don’t have a full interior, but as I get more and more in there it’s improving rapidly. The Dynamat and Dynaliner make a big diff! You can actually carry on a conversation while driving now. I’m not going to run a rear seat, but whatever I come up with will be well insulated.

Struck up a conversation with a guy named Chris at a local car show. He asked if he could shoot the car and I agreed. Pictures turned out pretty decent if you ask me.











Thanks for Looking
