PhaseShift's 69 Camaro

[T Bell]

jyeager is so lucky. Did you notice the camera man jerky everytime he snatched those gears? Welcome both.

Actually, my wife Nancy was the camera person there. She is a delight and I could not live without her; this is not to put here down, but we have a lot of footage of fence posts, weeds and trees. I do not think you can hear it in the videos, but my only speaking part on the uncut version, is the phrase "qian mian" (chan - men) which in this case means "straight ahead" in reference to the direction the camera is supposed to point. She did a great job actually- lucky for me she does not read forums like this or she might go gong-fu on me and black my eye. All part of life's rich pageant.

Nice car..

Actually VERY nice car

Ok, I have to ask.. your in China but where is the car? Also, has it been in any magazines?

Again, very cool car and I am digging the full race frame.. that must be one stiff mofo..

[PhaseShift]

Yep, The car is in Tennessee at my parents home. They have a nice, safe place for it. No plans to bring somethign like that over here. China is getting better, but not quite ready for that yet.

Stiff mofo doesn't really capture it. with the reasonably tight suspension (with only 4" total shock travel) it needs to be experienced. The front sway bar it was delivered with was too weak and has been replaced with one about 80% stiffer. I haven't taken it out yet to evaluate the front roll stiffness, but I suppose with nice weather upon us here that perhaps I should. Phil would want to know if I continued my string of good luck when picking suspension parts. (I was fairly successful in picking springs I think).

I've also adjusted the front ride height since then making for a better looking stance not to mention decreasing the odds of snowplowing that nice chin spoiler.
Also, new window molding has been ordered so we're only a week or two away from being able to take new glamor shots with sunshine and green grass all around.

Oh, and no it hasn't been in any magazines yet. Scott Parkhurst...you interested?

Phil has plans to fabricate a camera mount that will clamp to the cage somewhere inside the car. This will allow the steady filming of high speed runs without the passenger seat being soiled!

So there's that soon you can see some more and better video exploits.

Looks great Phil, and like a LOT of fun!

Yes I do! But I'm also a gentleman and I won't use Phil's girl without his permission. No unannounced joy rides here!
But seriously though, I'm Phil's hands here on this side of the earth. I've got his exhaust system in my garage right now. Any day now I'm going to go put it back on.
Perhaps I'll evaluate that new front sway bar and report back here about the experience.

<fingers crossed> do not wreck...do not wreck...do not wreck...watch out for that bird! do not wreck...</fingers crossed>

It won't be as much fun as you guys think!
