1969 Camaro Restomod Project Thread

1500 to the wheels ?

People are just crazy these days ! Even though its a muscle car its still a sleeper because no one expects a stock 2000 era Firebird to be packing heat like that.

any link to his build ?

Its normal to see some gasket/sealant material in the oil after a startup. I wouldn't worry about it (for now).

As we have already talked about it as well, you should be fine. One more run with the break-in oil and then you should be fine to start expanding the oil change intervals.

Looking forward to getting back stateside and going for a rid in this thing and seeing Gibb's Trans-Am out on the road.
