69 Camaro Project - Dead Pool

[DFRESH]

Dude, long road to get there isn't it? Looks like you are enjoying it which is very cool. Hope to have everyone attend an event soon. Chad told me about an event at the El Toro base on July 12. Going to go and hope to see you and some of the boys there.

Ron ... finally get to reap the rewards for all the effort put into this car, that's cool!

Question ... I went thru your thread again and wondered how the SEM Hot Rod black is holding up on the firewall and the inner wheel wells?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Chief! Ancient history Sir...back in the old days they let you spray acrylic, non-water borne paint. The stuff sticks well and the satin sheen looks better than the current mix. When I figured that out I pulled a mulligan

What kinda killjoy conversations do I find going on over here? A guy breaks a valvespring or two and suddenly he's being slapped with an RPM limit. You're no fun Tim...... no fun......

So there's good runners.... and then there's Matt and Gregg. Now that's pretty funny!

So has Rob taken official credit yet for your high finish? Ya know, because he apparently repaired your fuel vent or something that one time awhile back?

Yeah I laughed a bit too, was 100% positive you'd pick that up.

Nope, Robo wants nothing to do with us cone chasers. He did shame me into buying $400 worth of flaring tools to fix 'his fix.' Next step is a beach chair, a beer and an egg timer in my garage so he can tell me how I'm doing it wrong

...and my best run:



No official results yet, but I think I came in fourth behind Jake R, and two non interior AutoX race cars and a tenth out of third. Not bad for this rookie. Props to Matt and Gregg for the coaching!




...and he didn't come to this one either!
